Hello and welcome...

My name is Jeff Garton. Growing up in rural West Virginia I thought my career might be spent underground in a coal mine or outside in the oil and gas fields—and neither appealed to me.

I dreamed of working for companies that made the exciting products I saw advertised on TV. My particular interest was in HR, where I hoped to learn what makes some people more likable than others and how they succeed despite life's challenges and disappointments.

Thanks to Kraft Foods and the Miller Brewing Company, I achieved the career I envisioned, gaining something far more valuable than anticipated.

What I discovered about people and their success didn’t always align with the guidance I received from my parents, teachers, and even my blue-chip HR training. Something was missing.

Then, when I was tasked with helping to plan a layoff, a group of my coworkers who were at risk of losing their jobs, unexpectedly disclosed what I hadn’t realized I was searching for. The missing something was right before us all along, yet we failed to see it.

How People Naturally...

• Discern their life’s purpose.

• Instinctively know which jobs to choose and when to leave.

• Motivate how they manage their careers autonomously.

• Sustain their well-being and performance when disappointed. 

• All without regard to whether they have or lack job satisfaction.
