Born and bred in Flatbush, Brooklyn, Orlando Bishop’s journey followed a long and winding path, figuratively and literally. Nearly a decade into a sporadic Hollywood career as a writer and producer that had taken him through a gauntlet of near misses with a range of studios and production companies – Fox, MTV and Nickelodeon to name a few – he found himself at a crossroads. How could he be true to his need to create and the desire to serve that had led him to teaching high school English at his alma mater, Poly Prep, in Brooklyn? How could he leverage the unique viewpoint that had delighted audiences in comedy clubs like The World Famous Comedy Store and the Hollywood Improv and his lifelong commitment to helping others find their voices? How, to cut to the chase, could he make a living while honoring the person he had always been and the husband, father and man he’d become?

 

He looked back over his life and found that the greatest successes he’d experienced — or even witnessed — all pointed to one basic reality: To consistently perform at the highest levels, we must align who we are, where we are and where we want to go. Alignment had been the key as he navigated Flatbush streets to get to the cobblestone paths of Yale University.

 

Alignment had been key in making his way west to USC’s Peter Stark Producing Program where he earned his MFA. Alignment had even been critical in creating the family he shared with his wife, Daphne and their twins, Alex and Maya. Yes, alignment had been key in all those situations, but how does one create it?

 

In answering that question for himself, Orlando uncovered the questions and insights he now shares with others as they face their own crossroads, personally and professionally. Today, people from all walks of life have used and are using the Align approach to change careers, get promotions and even find the romantic relationships they desire. One might wonder how Orlando can be so confident that the Align approach will work for such a range of clients pursuing such an array of desired outcomes. His answer: “Each person has to define their own line, to walk their own line. What I provide is simply the approach. And I know the Align approach works; it worked for me.”

Meet Jordan, The Trailblazer

 

Jordan believes that personal development is a never-ending process of imagining who you want to be, interpreting why you want to be that person, creating a plan to get there, and then implementing that plan in the most enjoyable and fulfilling way possible. 

 

Through his platform imagitivetation (imagination + interpretation + creativity + implementation), he helps guide people to think differently and make daring changes in their lives. Jordan is trailblazing in the personal development field by using creative storytelling to allow people to gather their own insights from the characters he creates and the stories he shares. 

 

Jordan is a son, grandson, writer, speaker, guide, editor, and soon-to-be therapist. He is a Northwestern and Kellogg School of Management graduate where he studied absolutely nothing to do with writing. He’s a former startup founder, restaurant manager, and soccer goalie. A solopreneur, podcast host, and 2x TEDx speaker, he is also the #1 bestselling author of Getting COMFY: Your Morning Guide to Daily Happiness and The Journey to Cloud Nine.

This is a very special edition of Mike’s Search for Meaning. I decided to record a coaching session with my coach, Yotam Schachter.

 

This session illuminates what my inner work is like, and is a typical coaching session where I explore where I’m stuck and in resistance in my life.

 

Working with Yotam continues to be one of the best investments I make in myself and my growth. I’ve never felt more alive, grounded, and expansive.

 

Check out how the sausage gets made in this episode!

 

To listen to Yotam’s excellent interview, check out Episode #7.

Yotam Schachter is a coach, facilitator, and teacher specializing in emotional fitness and the art of change. In addition to his training in traditional coaching tools such as Adaptive Leadership and Internal Family Systems, Yotam's work draws from his experiences as a massage therapist, rabbinical student, investment analyst, and meditator. He helps clients to find beauty, wisdom, and opportunity in their toughest challenges.

 

Yotam has studied coaching and facilitation with master teachers from around the world, including Thomas Huebl, Erica Ariel Fox, Robert Gass, Dr. Richard Schwartz, and Jennifer Garvey Berger. In addition to his own work as Presence Tree founder, Yotam facilitates leadership development workshops with Mobius Executive Leadership, Cultivating Leadership, and Bridge Partnership, developing and delivering cutting edge transformational experiences for senior executives. Yotam lives in Boston with his wife, a rabbi and climate activist, and his son, a panda firefighter train-engineer rock star.
