On today’s bonus podcast episode, I’m revisiting the Ideal Week and explaining an up-leveled way to use it to create the career (and life) you want.

If you want spaciousness in your calendar, time to think and read and write, then this bonus podcast episode is for you!

When you create your Ideal Week in our Navigate program, you do so after you have worked through our Activities Alignment process that clears the off-mission obligations from your plate. Ideal Week helps you make sure there is time for everything in your week–and SPACE to let new ideas percolate.

If you’re ready to create a week you LOVE, which adds up to semesters and years that you LOVE, I can't wait to receive your Navigate application!
