New Callings


“The glory of God is the human person fully alive.” —Ireneus of Lyons


Periodically in our life or career we hear a voice that beckons us to an entirely new place or venture. Professional coaching can help…
  1. Shorten the time to the new venture
  2. Increase clarity of direction
  3. Overcome (or bypass) prior perceived obstacles
  4. Provide inspiration and support through transition to new roles

Orion works with people mid-career and late career with transition and exit strategies and succession plans to get to their new vocation with clarity, confidence and better prepared for the new role or venture.

Some examples of client transitions:

New career directions:

  1. Chief investment officer
  2. Interior designer
  3. PhD transpersonal psychology
  4. Investment banking
  5. Venture capital
  6. Private banking/High Net Worth private brokerage
  7. Business consulting
  8. Hotel chain marketing
  9. Mortgage finance

Launching new ventures:

  1. Internet advertising startup
  2. Semiconductor startup
  3. Consulting firms

This work is highly customized and may draw deeply into spiritual questions such as what is the greatest application of my gifts that serves humanity? Who am I designed to be? Why am I being called to this path?

We will draw upon the work of Richard Leider, a leading author on life callings, including Repacking Your Bags; and Herminia Ibarra, author of Working Identity.


“Craig was fantastic to work with and provided me with incredible support in helping me achieve the goals of changing careers and developing a vision for a long term career path. Today, I have a job that I love in an industry that is a really strong match for my experience and interests and I credit Craig with inspiring me and giving me the tools and support for getting here.”

—PF, Washington DC

“Craig has created for me the environment that has helped me to be creative and adventurous in envisioning and moving in to the next phase of my life.”


—MS, San Carlos, CA

“With the goal of “doing my most important work” (Craig’s motto), Craig encouraged me to think about my life and my work in new and different ways. Craig helped me validate a decision to leave a company where I was not satisfied join a new one that is a much better fit for my personality and career goals, where I am now doing important work and am very happy.”
