You might find yourself wrestling with burnout, a sense of lostness, a yearning for a different impact, or questions of identity as you traverse various life stages. During these times, you may have found that the skills you’ve relied on in the past aren’t helping you now, and might even be hurting you.
Designed for diverse professionals who’ve tasted success or reached the top, yet long for deeper significance, our Downshifters include:
Founders recovering from their last startup
Executives searching for fulfillment beyond title
Athletes leaving the game behind
Creators seeking a new stage
Investors pondering what constitutes a truly meaningful life
Those we serve know they have more to contribute to the world and aren’t ready to surrender; yet, they recognize a deep-seated need to decelerate, recalibrate, and realign.
This journey transcends showcasing achievements, identities, or material possessions. Ideal candidates are self-aware, deeply curious, patient, and committed to the process. They are ready mentally and emotionally to do the inner and outer work required to create a life aligned with their deepest values and aspirations.
At Downshift, we support high performers at a crossroads longing for greater connection, fulfillment and aliveness.
