WITHOUT A COMPASS

In a world consumed by a hurry hurry mindset, there's a silent killer called burnout. It's estimated that burnout is related to more than 125,000 deaths yearly in the US alone. It accounts for 7% of US healthcare costs, and causes trillions of dollars of sick day costs. In short, unmanaged stress is a silent killer that has taken over corporate America, and corporations worldwide.
Shawn Hamill was slowly being consumed by this silent killer as he raced up the corporate ranks in an all consuming race to corporate glory. Then the moment came when reality slapped him like an ice bath in a frozen pond. It was mid February, and he was on a flight to South Florida for meetings. His new boss, a self proclaimed prodigy, was determined to assert his authority, and eliminate independence.
Shawn had already begun questioning his unchecked devotion to business at all cost. Flying at 30,00 feet above the Gulf of Mexico, he considered his failing health. He questioned how long he could maintain his hectic travel schedule. Most importantly, he missed his family. He realized it was time for change... time to find balance.
He quit the corporate world, and started his own business. In doing so, he renewed him committment to Self, and Family, while learning how to balance that with his career. Eventually, Shawn and his family sold their house, cars, bought a sailboat and went sailing.
Without A Compass details their journey, and reflects on the process they traversed in order to find the courage to leave a good life, and create an even better one. Shawn talks about the Three Pillars of a Balanced Life, your Three Personas, and everything you need to define your best life, including how to start on your own journey!

Today Shawn is semi-retired, still finding time for business consulting, leadership coaching, and motivational speaking.
