LFY Consulting, based in Chicago, IL, and Austin, TX, offers leadership, career, and empowerment coaching and consulting services for senior leaders and entrepreneurs that feel stuck or unfulfilled at work.

They tend to be overworked, overwhelmed, or underutilized, while also lacking clarity, confidence, control, and self-alignment, and are unsure about next steps in terms of their work or business, and despite professional success do not feel successful.

LFY Consulting bases its programs on two distinct and exclusive coaching systems, The Three C’s of Self Leadership© - Clarity, Confidence, and Control, and The LIVE System© - Life, Intentions, Values, and Expectations.

The coaching process generally involves defining what you care about - your goals and values - then uses that clarity along with our unique systems to create greater confidence and control in your life that will guide you toward self-alignment and ultimately more meaningful work. Plus, we ensure that you understand the process so that you can lead yourself throughout the rest of your career and life. Start a conversation to find out more and how we can help.

Courtney Carver of Be More With Less shares two short posts discussing writing and what to consider if you hate your job.

Episode 204: 7 Things to Consider if You Hate Your Job AND On Writing by Courtney Carver of Be More With Less

Courtney Carver was stopped in her tracks with a scary MS diagnosis after decades of debt, discontent, and trying to do it all. She had to slow down, prioritize her health, and figure out what was really important in her life. She discovered what mattered most by getting rid of everything that didn’t matter at all. In the end it all came down to love and health.

She went from a busy, overwhelmed advertising director to spending 2-3 hours every morning taking care of herself, loving her work, and being present and engaged with the people she loves. Her family changed, too. They moved from wanting bigger closets, nicer furniture, and more stuff to downsizing into a 750 sq. ft apartment with no storage.

Courtney has written books, courses, and hundreds of articles to help you simplify your life and work so you can focus on what really matters.
