Case Study #1
A successful executive had been with the same pharmaceutical company for fifteen years. Although she was highly respected and had contributed in numerous ways to business success, she was becoming bored, distracted and less motivated. She feared becoming frustrated and less productive and wanted to address these concerns.
A vice president had been with the same resort company since its inception 25 years prior. He started as an hourly employee and worked his way up through the ranks. He was a passionate energetic executive and leader, but recent downsizing left him without a job. Although he left in good standing and with a sizable package, he was anxious about the future and found his subsequent less active schedule challenging. His mind told him this was a great opportunity to explore a variety of options and discover whether or not he wanted to switch careers. On the other hand, he fought the instinct to grab for the first good job opportunity that might come along. He was struggling with how to approach his crises and opportunities in productive and enjoyable ways.

Case study #3
A thirty-something fast track cruise line executive was burning the candle at both ends. Long hours, peer competition, challenging multiple bosses, a new baby and two small children were just the half of it. Recently his doctor told him his blood pressure was too high and his stomach problems were caused by stress. He knew he and his family needed a vacation but he was afraid to leave the office. He wondered how he was ever going to meet all his obligations and take care of himself too.
