You Can Have a Life that You Love... and I Can Help! If you're a person who knows you have gifts, interests and talents but you haven't yet found what feeds your soul, we need to meet! I'm Jennifer Manlowe and I'm the founder of Life Design Unlimited and a certified Life Direction Counselor specializing in helping you to become the author of your life. "Life Design" is a term that I learned some years back from Martha Beck, the author of "Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live." Martha also writes a regular column for Oprah Magazine. Like Martha, I'm a Life Direction Coach with over 20 years of experience helping people design a life (and livelihood) that brings joy, financial self-sufficiency and a sense of contribution. Again, just like Martha Beck, I received my PhD (from an Ivy League School) in the early 1990s by conducting research on women, psychology and religion. We both like to write--and regularly publish--shorter essays and at least one book a year, it seems. Unlike Beck, I am also a book coach who loves helping people step into the public domain with their creative endeavors. For those who love writing, I become their writing advisor and guide them all the way to seeing their ideas come into print through self-publishing. When I say I'm a life direction counselor, I mean that I'm very intuitive, imaginative and superbly direct in giving my clients advice to turn their favorite activities into sites for a deeply rewarding life (financially, physically, and emotionally). I become the "eyes and ears" for people who are having a difficult time hearing and seeing who they are and who they can be in their next stage of life. I believe we don't find "just right" work "out there," rather we create a just right life by being true to ourselves and honest with what we offer others. Marsha Sinetar says, "Do What You Love, The Money Will Follow." I add a few things: "Share What You Love to Do for Others, the Money Will Follow." What I do best is help clients bring who they are to what they do. As Steve Jobs said in his famous commencement address at Stanford University, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know it when you find it. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle." WHO WANTS WHAT I OFFER? People who are my happiest clients want to craft a rewarding life that is fully-aligned with their values and creative aspirations. They like working with me from their own home (on the phone or through an E-class).
