From Corporate to Calling: A Practical Path to Purpose w/ Lisa Petrilli

If your “great job” feels increasingly empty, this one’s for you. Former corporate leader Lisa Petrilli (Medline/Baxter) shares a practical approach to discovering your Life Quest—the next chapter where purpose, agency, and freedom replace autopilot.

We dig into choice vs. circumstance, how to reframe fear and uncertainty, and simple steps GenXers can take while still in corporate. No dogma required—just a better operating system for work and life.

You’ll learn

• What a “Life Quest” is and how to spot yours

• How to move from reaction and fear to sovereignty and action

• A 30–60 day Next-Chapter Script exercise to regain control

• Why love-over-fear is a leadership OS (not a sermon)

• First small steps for still-in-corporate escapees
