What is Deep Joy?
Deep Joy takes conscious action, conscious choices on your part - ways of behaving and daily action to achieve and to maintain.
The science on happiness, the brain, and the body has about 20 years of research and numerous studies. It isn't magic and it isn't a mystery.
Deep Joy CAN be yours if and when you are willing to decide that it is what you want.
When you are ready, my guided 12-week journey will get you there!
Much like training for the Olympics or climbing Mount Everest, the journey will cover a few months. (Yes, I have some shorter options!)
Breathing at high altitude takes training.
Muscles take time to build, and need daily routines to maintain strength.
Your commitment to your own Deep Joy is critical.
Deep Joy is a muscle. Let's build up your muscles!
Feeling like a skeptic?
Not sure whether you can trust me?
Not sure I've got a sympathetic heart or the right skills to help you out?
I get it. You want to trust.
Here are a few testimonials from people I've helped over the last few years.
There are others... people who were on my teams when I was in the American corporate world. I have an amazing set of cards and emails from team members for whom I have made a significant difference in their lives and careers, but long before I called myself a coach.
Yes... these are REAL people in RECENT years.

Youth Leader
Through this session, I got my experience expanded, and my skills sharpened. As an advocate for youth and activist in areas of governance and development, I plan to use acquired skills to develop and improve my studies as an immediate result and later use the new knowledge in playing an active role in the development efforts in Rwanda and Africa at large.

Career Change
Thene has coached and mentored me throughout my journey into a new career. Her expertise and wisdom have proved invaluable as I have navigated the course of project management. She has recommended numerous resources that have expanded my knowledge of agile practices. Thene listens carefully and gives thoughtful, excellent advice. I am grateful to have her as a coach.

Life Changes
I had aspirations of working toward certain career goals but I was sidelined. Thene helped me realize that I needed to work on my core which therefore build a base to grow from.
I dare to say that Thene is a very pivotal person in my life that I personally think was sent to me when I needed someone most. She knows every avenue of the professional world while having a very strong and tenacious spiritual side that can see through the bottom line of what is needed to accomplish a goal.
The Journey
Camino de Santiago de Compostela
In Northwestern Spain and Northern Portugal, there is a trek called the Camino de Santiago de Compostela.
The Way, as it is known, follows the route taken by pilgrims for centuries. Sometimes you walk along bustling city streets. At other times you find yourself on a dirt path surrounded by trees. Regardless of where you are, there is never fear of getting lost. All along The Way, there are signs to guide you. Bright, yellow arrows directing you toward your goal. If at any point you think you may be lost, all you need do is look for the signs. If you do not see one in a few hundred meters, just back track until you find one and get back on the right path.
Nor are you ever alone along The Way. Although the journey is one of personal introspection, you are never by yourself. There are always others moving along the same path who are willing to share their experiences or lend a helping hand.
And, for those most concerned or for anyone with physical challenges, there are Camino guides you can hire. They'll trek with you for local culture and history, or just help with your bags and hotels overnight. They enable YOU to focus on your personal internal journey and introspection.
My goal is to create a journey like the Camino Way in The Quest for Deep Joy. With me as your guide, I will ensure that your path is well-marked. I will be that consistent voice who will take the time to get to know your strengths and weaknesses. I will highlight the culture and history along the way. I will encourage your deep introspection and personal growth along the path.
Quest for Deep Joy
Now I want to offer this experience to others on their own Quest for Deep JOY: a guided journey of your passions, purpose, beliefs, role expectations, personality, and more.
I'll guide you to clarify your dreams and goals, and we'll talk through challenges you are facing in achieving your goals and dream...keeping your heart focused on the end-goal and the treasures along the path.
This journey will not be easy and I will hold you accountable to always deliver more, dig deeper, and do better. In the end, you will arrive, but the journey will have been more meaningful than the final destination.
Could you do it alone? Sure. But every journey of growth, athletic or otherwise, is ultimately MORE successful with a coach... someone to challenge you, to push you, and to nudge you every step of the way to meeting your own goal.
But...you say... I want OPTIONS!!!
12-week Quest for Deep Joy - SELF-STUDY
You get the whole 12-week program - all of the workbook pages, the suggested videos, podcasts, and readings, and my weekly email with follow-up thoughts, additional tips, updates to your weekly tracker, and more... but without the coaching hours. Those can be added at any time, but they aren't in this program.
Coaching Tryouts (3 sessions)
You're super skeptical whether you and I will mesh - whether I understand your perspective and whether I have the 'voice' to challenge you and be your reflective thinking partner. You want to hold a few REAL coaching calls with me (more than just a discovery/strategy chat) and check me out. This option is for you!
12-week Quest for Deep - GUIDED Program
