1:1 Coaching · Twelve Weeks

Stop drifting.
Set a direction worthy of you.

Direction isn't something you discover; it's something you make. I'll show you how to make it for yourself.

Tanner O. Campbell speaking to a room

The problem

You've done the things (the career, the relationship, the box-ticking), but you still feel like you're drifting. You don't know what you want and you feel like you're running out of time to figure it out.

This isn't a crisis, but it probably feels like one. Most advice is likely urging you to "find your purpose," as if it's a hidden treasure at the end of some epic quest. But that's nonsense, and by listening to that advice you'll wind up looking everywhere but the one place you'll find the answers you need.

You don't find a direction by wandering the earth seeking inspiration; you create direction by understanding what you, as an individual human being and rational animal, are truly built for and responsible for. Some of the answers I help you find are universal to every human being, but the most important ones are entirely unique to you and your individual nature.

What Cardinal is

A twelve week, one-to-one coaching programme rooted in the ancient wisdom of Stoicism.

We'll meet weekly, just the two of us. We'll achieve three things over the course of 12 weeks.

  1. 01

    Understand your universal human purpose

    Your human purpose, not your individual human purpose, but your universal human purpose, isn't rooted in some religious dogma or pseudoscience mumbo jumbo, it is rooted in Nature. Learning and understanding this is the foundation of all forward progress in this programme.

  2. 02

    Identify your unique individual nature

    Directly, and with no woo or modern psychobabble, we will work to identify your wholly unique nature as an individual. Using this information, we will plainly and clearly define what this nature call you, specifically you, to do.

  3. 03

    Set your new course; end your drifting.

    This is where it comes together. We take what you've learned about your nature and what it calls you to do, and we turn it into a direction you can now head in. You'll stop waiting for perfect answer and start making choices with the confidence of someone who knows exactly where they're going. Because you will be someone who knows exactly where they're going.

You'll finish with a clear, well-defined direction that you can stay the course on and finally start working thought
