Do you sense that you are here for a purpose, but can’t quite grasp what that purpose is?

Are you in the midst of a significant personal or professional transition, such as:

  • a career change,
  • retirement,
  • relationship beginning or ending,
  • entering mid-life and wondering what’s next?

Are you tired of setting goals that don’t seem to get you anywhere?

Do you want to be centered and focused in the midst of a stressed-out world?

If you have been pondering what’s next in your life, trying to clarify what’s important to you, or achieve your deepest dreams and goals, then I’d like to offer you an opportunity to work with me as your Life on Purpose Coach.  As your coach, I work with you to reach your full potential by first uncovering the core beliefs and attitudes that are inhibiting and limiting your success and happiness.

Then, together, we move along the path of discovering your true Life Purpose so that your life becomes a fuller expression of who you are and what you’re about in the world.  In the process, you will learn to align your thoughts and actions with your purpose, have clarity about what you really want, experience a deeper sense of yourself, and begin to live a life of greater ease and fulfillment.

I am particularly passionate about working with men and women who are in the midst of life transitions, whether your transition is developmental, chosen, or circumstantial.  My areas of expertise and passion are:

Goal Setting and Manifesting your Goals

Using a variety of tried and tested goal-setting methods, I teach you how to reach the core of what you want in your life.   Whether your desires are to have better health or more money, increase your confidence, get into graduate school, choose the right career path, grow your business, or attract the right relationship; I work with you to set your goals and actually manifest what you are intending.

Mid-life Transition

As a specialist in mid-life transition, I’ve worked for over 25 years with adults going through this stage of life.  I believe that mid-life is perhaps the most powerful time in life, and one of the most misunderstood.  I’m a seasoned coach with the knowledge, expertise, and tools to guide you to utilize the energy of this time and move through it to become a wiser, more purposeful, more fulfilled “you.”

3rd  Age or Retirement

For those who are entering 3rd age and contemplating what’s next, I work with you to create a vital and satisfying 3rd age.  Following a step-by-step process, that I’ve developed as the Create Your Best Retirement© 2010 program, we do something your financial advisor and your accountant, can’t do.  We get you mentally and emotionally prepared for entering 3rd  age with a renewed sense of identity and purpose, tools for revitalizing your relationships, and a roadmap for optimal health and well-being in 3rd age.

What Can You Control? (Blog Post for All Control Freaks)

My twenty-year old daughter, Amber, is a self-proclaimed “control freak.” She shared with me the other day how challenging it is for her to be in a situation where she doesn’t feel like she can control what’s happening. I realized that many of us experience a similar challenge. A few days later, Amber awoke to…

Being coached by Brad  through the Life on Purpose process has truly been life-changing. Not only did he help me to gain crystal clarity about my life purpose, he helped me to uncover what had been holding me back for much of my life. Through the coaching, I became clear about what was the next step that I wanted to take in my life.

My life has gotten better in many ways as a result of the coaching: the major anxiety that I experienced around my work is a thing of the past – I learned why I was experiencing this anxiety, and then how to overcome it and I can’t believe how effective it was.

I have been able to establish a habit of taking daily time for myself to reconnect with what’s truly important – this is something that I had tried and failed to do for 10 years beforehand, so I am so happy to have been able to achieve this.

I have been experiencing so many more feelings of joy, happiness and abundance since the programme, and life is just so much better. From Jonathan Dudley — a 30 year old IT Professional (turning Life Coach).

“I had always felt like I was not living up to my potential and that there was something more to life- something more I “should be doing”. What I discovered was that what I thought my life purpose was actually my parents/culture’s idea of what I should be- not mine! This was transformational and allowed me to finally decide for myself, based on my own passions, my true purpose. My Divine Purpose is now conscious and drives all decisions and choices I make in my everyday life.” Julie Chapman after clarifying her life purpose through the On Purpose Program at her spiritual center.

“I am just so delighted with everything you, this course, and the Life on Purpose Institute has given/provided to me.  Thank you, SO very, very much.

I have finished working through your book. It has been a very enjoyable and revealing process. My life on purpose is a life of freedom rooted in wholeness, beauty, truth, order and love. A life of worship, inspired action and full self-expression.

I was especially excited when you spoke about the Purposeful Project.  Wow, what a great idea!  How to get people out in the world being their true, serviceful selves.  I say serviceful because I have an inkling that even if someone doesn’t consider their life purpose to be one of service, or see that as a value of theirs, I don’t see how anyone couldn’t be of service to the world if they are living their purpose out loud.” Peggy Vervalin who clarified her life purpose in Living the Fulfilled Life teleclass.

Immediately I got my final wording sorted it ‘clicked’ it fits like a glove. I have such clarity, it has been great for examining my behaviors and how I relate to others, and for helping me to make quality decisions. I had so many synchronicities in the following days after clarifying my life purpose and continue to do so. A sure sign that I am on my path and that is very fulfilling, even without taking into account my planned purpose projects.

My self-esteem has received a huge boost. I am delighted that I committed and persevered. And one of the lessons God has been bringing to my attention is that ‘commitment and perseverance bring their own reward, a reward that can come no other way’. Which will stand me in good stead as I live out this purpose.

I look at my life purpose and it is truly the essence of me, and the essence of the possibilities I see for others and the world we live in.” Jayne from the United Kingdom

I’m Jude Eastman in Virginia.  I’m a reading specialist and teacher.  I’m also a life and soul coachJudeeastman.

My original Life on Purpose work in 2006-2007 helped me figure out who I was and wanted to BE after losing my parents and my marriage.  I am happy to say that I realized I am  the only one who has the power to decide my place in the world or my worth and I’m pretty dog gone priceless!  After that I soared -completing a master degree, taking a new job position in my teaching career, and completing coach training.

Recently I was ready to push forward in my second profession as a coach.  The Staying on Purpose group helped me accomplish what I’ve been talking about for three years!  I now have my first coaching workshop on the books, conducted a conference call, picked up some new technology skills.  I found out that doing new things doesn’t have to be stressful, but can be fun and I’m in control of that!

Thanks Brad for keeping me motivated and accountable  in such a heart felt way that was both challenging and safe at the same time!
