1:1 Coaching for Midlife Transition

Midlife is for REAL, but it’s not a crisis. Midlife is an invitation to stop, reflect, and reimagine what the second half of your life can become. Your life is not over. In fact, it might be just beginning.

If you feel like you are drifting or you’re being swept along by the currents and demands of your life, let’s create a space for you to catch your breath and design a path forward full of purpose and meaning.

1:1 Midlife Transition Coaching Packages

Most of my packages revolve around creating a midlife roadmap.

Here's why:

Midlife drift is by definition directionless; like a boat adrift at sea, meandering to and fro as the wind blows. You may be very busy and working very hard, but you know there is no reflective, intentional, and purposeful direction to the rhythms of your life.

Creating a midlife roadmap guides your path forward out of midlife drift into thriving.

Meet Midlife Coach: Will Spokes, MBA, MDiv

Midlife is for REAL. It isn’t just a bad week or a funk. It’s a reckoning of sorts; with yourself, your decisions, your successes and failures, your relationships, your purpose and identity. 

I coach midlifers through their midlife drift with a unique blend of spiritual, pastoral, and leadership competence to help you navigate the practical and profound aspects of midlife drift — so that you can thrive in the second half of life — personally, relationally, and professionally.

In addition to coaching, I am available to speak at conferences and retreats and facilitate workshops, guiding both individuals and organizations through midlife drift.

I live in Durham, North Carolina, with my family and two dogs. Outside of my work as a speaker and coach, I love to fit my Ironman training in between spending time with my wife and my boys, and cheering on my beloved Michigan Wolverines and Duke Blue Devils.
