From Drifting to Reconnected: Reigniting Purpose in a Seasoned Leader

Client: Trevor — Senior Sales & Marketing Executive, Healthcare Industry

Background
Trevor had built an impressive career. As a senior leader in sales and marketing for some of the most well-respected healthcare companies in the U.S., his resume spoke volumes. But despite his achievements, Trevor found himself in a cycle that many high performers face: periods of disengagement, waning motivation, and questions about what was next.

Approach
Trevor didn’t need a total reinvention — he needed reconnection.

Through the Career Adventurer toolkit, we focused on:

• Regrounding in his core motivations and identifying the drivers behind his most fulfilling work

• Revisiting his career narrative to rediscover patterns of energy, impact, and leadership

• Exploring what success could look like in this next chapter — not just for his company, but for himself

• Crafting a plan to re-engage with his network and opportunities in ways that felt authentic, not performative
  

Result
Trevor walked away with renewed clarity and a reframed perspective. He gained:

• A clear understanding of where his value intersects with what motivates him

• Tools to stay aligned — especially during inevitable low-motivation stretches

• The language to confidently articulate what kind of roles, teams, and environments bring out his best

Rather than jumping to a new role, Trevor gained something more powerful: a re-anchored sense of purpose in his current journey — and the ability to navigate it with agency.
