From the time she was a little girl. Stef Lee loved asking questions. Her favorite: “What do you love to do?” This led her to the work she does today: a Life Alignment Catalyst, where she helps individuals discover their who they are and what they want. Stef also asks the same question to companies to help them clarify their mission, vision, and values.

Stef says that loving what you do is critical. Not everyone knows their purpose, and that’s OK. Start with what you enjoy doing now. You can build your career from there.
