Ready to Find Your Calling?

See What Others Are Saying

"What if there is no dream job for me?" I wondered.

The most valuable insight I got from The Calling Course was to dispel the myth that I have one singular "soulmate job" out there waiting for me.

Instead of solely focusing on the end result, Dan's guidance and the course helped me to engage in the foundational work of identifying where I find deep meaning and fulfillment.

Having a greater understanding of my own unique drive and voice has helped me reframe where I find connection in my current work and opened my mind to explore a myriad of opportunities that align with my own personal sense of meaning.

As a recent grad, I've struggled to find my way and make decisions about what opportunities to pursue. It seems like most of my friends either have no idea where they're headed or they chose something a long time ago and are afraid to ask questions about whether or not it's a good fit.

I wanted to ask the hard questions and find a sense of confidence in what my work is about. This process helped me do exactly that.

Going in, I was looking for a map for the choices ahead. What I got instead was the ability to navigate the choices with much more assurance and a strong sense of who I am in the midst of them— which, in the end, is much more useful than a map could be.

The only regret I have is that I didn't start sooner.

Going into The Calling Course I was skeptical that an online course could help me uncover important personal insights.

And at first I thought my skepticism was right. The first couple modules were interesting, but I didn't see how they would give me the deep vocational understanding I was looking for. Only near the end of the course did I see how these early exercises had layered upon each other to show me lifelong patterns of how I experience meaning and fulfillment.

I came away from The Calling Course with a new diamond of understanding about my personal vocation that is already helping me make plans and decisions.
Dan has done a great job of distilling his expertise and intuition into a powerful process. The Calling Course is a valuable tool for anyone who wants to bring more joy and fulfillment into their lives, both in work and outside of it.

This process is truly, and without exaggeration, life-changing. The process didn't end with me diving into my dream job the next day, but it was the beginning of an important journey that has helped me understand who I am, what I ache for, and the impact I want to make on the world.

The themes that were identified have shaped every aspect of my life over the past two years and I feel like I am finally, for the first time ever, exactly where I am supposed to be, doing exactly what I am meant to do.

Michelle

I was feeling stuck and unhappy with work. I took the leap of faith and left my job because I was too unhappy. I'm now looking at other career fields.

Putting my full trust in God’s will for me and being gracious. Through the process I was surprised by how much I learned about myself as the man God has molded me to be.

Brian

I was really feeling lost - I had no clue what direction I wanted to go in. I had no sense of what was really important any more. I knew what I didn’t want, but I didn’t know what I wanted.

It took a while but now I have started my new business and feel a real sense of clear direction, and I am receiving confirmation from many different sources.

I was feeling, to put it plainly, a sense of uneasiness, slight apathy, and hopelessness when it came to career. I felt haunted by my 'explorations' in jobs (which I saw as failures) and didn't know how to move forward with something I'm passionate about with my history of trying, failing, and leaving.

My biggest transformation lies in my newfound understanding and peace of mind when it comes to my work journey.

I have been carrying around a sense of guilt regarding education and my short stints at my jobs since teaching and that has tainted all of my desires of what I would like my life's work to be. Through the process, that guilt has taken a more human form– I did my best and somehow that's enough–and I can move forward with a more sobering truth about my experience

Lindsey

I felt trapped. I was raised to value career and hard work, but this led me to ignore or belittle many of my passions and interests. I work full days, and come home tired, and many things I love had become another thing on my “to do” list.

The work allowed me to recognize how important my interests are. The process encouraged me to be open minded and consider a wide variety of ways that I could pursue my interests. He also helped me to see how my doubt and insecurities often prevented me from beginning.

Now I feel open. Open to starting small and making connections. Open to being vulnerable and experiencing failure. Open to being creative and trying again."

Before I began, I was working two jobs where I thought deep meaning and a sense of purpose would be found, yet I felt unsure and discontent about that work. Felt like I wanted to know what I was really meant to do.

What shifted was a sense of affirmation that finding meaningful work is a process that looks different for everyone... From that place of being unsure, it was time to experiment, and I felt encouraged by to do just that!

Jordan

I was feeling completely confused and lost, like I had no direction for my life, no idea where I was going. It’s frustrating being someone whose deepest desire is to do meaningful work, but not know that what work is, or what my future looks like...

Now, I’m hopeful for the future, have a clear direction for where I’m going in my life, and first the first time in years, I’m excited about this direction.

I was feeling very uncertain about what career path I should pursue and kept second guessing myself and my passions. I felt like I was anxiously spinning my wheels and unable to move forward.

Through the process I was able to gain confidence and begin to trust myself more. It helped me realize that it’s ok to not have all the answers and that it’s important to allow myself to experiment with different jobs, internships, volunteering opportunities etc. to help bring clarity.
