Every leader has a Narrow Path to their full potential. Few find it. Fewer stay on it.

Why? Because the Narrow Path comes with a cost:

  • You must see yourself clearly.
  • You must define your vision for the future.
  • You must build the discipline and systems to stay aligned with it every single day.

The truth is, most people choose the wide road—crowded, comfortable, and full of distractions.

But the wide road leads somewhere you don't want to go: 

  • Drifting instead of being intentional.
  • Settling for short term comfort over long term fulfillment and impact.
  • Lack of peace because you know you're only tapping into 40% of your leadership potential.

The Narrow Path Framework will give you the clarity, discipline, and community to:

  • See your path — clarify who you are, where you’re going, and why it matters.
  • Walk your path — install habits, systems, and rhythms that keep you aligned with your vision.
  • Stay on your path — with a trusted community and coach to keep you accountable, inspired, and equipped.

When you can close the gap between who you are and who you could be through intentionality, everything changes.

As you find and stay on your Narrow Path, you experience your full capacity as a leader—at work and at home.  You show up with clarity, confidence, energy, and joy.  The result is the ability to influence, achieve your vision and the goals of the your team/family, and the peace that only comes from alignment in your life and leadership.  

Let me help you discover your Narrow Path to more clarity, confidence, impact, and joy.  The world needs you at your very best.

The 5 Core Values I found after taking the course have become a kind of active reminder to bring my best true self to life every day. The course was extremely useful and helpful. I recommend it highly and have used it for men in my spheres of influence.

I truly enjoyed the Intentional Leader, Discovering Your Core Values Course. The course took me though a natural progression to discovering core values that are unique to me and practical.

The process that Cal introduced and guided us through was very helpful. Cal was very thorough and challenged us to get outside of our comfort zone. The various exercises he introduced required us to work hard and they were very revealing. Cal is a great teacher and he guides you through introspective learning that leads to a positive outcome.
