Three Giant Leaps

Three Giant Leaps: Tradition and Innovation

Three Giant Leaps’s programs are designed to help you find your true calling and move into a career that feels more....you. We want to show you how to find your purpose in life. Our programs are designed to uncover the root of who you are, what makes you tick, and then align the things you are passionate about with a career that will make getting out bed in the morning a breeze.

You’ve met them, people who love their job, love their career and look forward to going to work. The unfortunate reality is that many people do not like the work they do, and “live for the weekend” or do work “to make ends meet.” They're confused about their life purpose.

It doesn't have to be like this. Imagine if everyone in the world was doing work they were passionate about. People would laugh more and complain less. At the end of the day they’d go home energized, able to enjoy time on their own or with friends and family.

Three Giant Leaps is unique because we have developed a methodology that combines modern psychology and ancient Native American Wisdom to create a system that produces amazing results. We unashamedly use techniques and practices from the 4 corners of the earth to ensure we get amazing results, transform careers, and change peoples lives.

Together with the unique roots of our programs there are 4 other things that we do differently that helps us achieve great results.

1) Affordable - We get our results in as little as 8 weeks. No more never-ending life coaching that never seems to lead to a conculsion!

2) Accountable - We use our Career Change Assessment to help identify the individual needs of each client. On completion of a Three Giant Leaps program our clients are invited to take the same test again so that we can send them a comparative analysis report. This allows us to measure and share our results with our cleints

3) Curriculum Based Programs - It's hard to change the direction your life is taking in a one hour session per week. What if during that hour you are just not feeling very creative or you are just not in the mood? Our programs require our clients to complete homework assignments every week. These assignments are key to helping us achieve our amazing results. By giving our clients coaching tools to use inbetween coaching sessions, we can ensure that maximum progress is made in minimal time.

4) Remarkable Coaches - the life coaching group is made of some of the smartest, most knowledgeable and experienced people we could find. All our coaches have experienced major career transitions in their own lives and are dedicated to helping you figure out how to find your purpose in life and ultimately find your true calling.

Our philosophy is simple. Just because you are good at your job doesn’t mean you will like it. However, if you focus on finding work you are passionate about, you will be great at it. We have a suite of programs that spans the youth market through to high flying executives and we have the tools to positively change your life, your career, your future, your life purpose.

If this sounds to good to be true then take a look at our life coaching reviews and hear what our clients have to say. If you have any questions about what we do then feel free to call us and we will be happy to answer them!

What We Don’t Do

"Find a job you love and never work a day in your life" Confucius

We help you find your true calling and then do it for a career. Our programs are designed to help you align your career with your passions and key drivers...the things that really excite you. This may sound familiar - you may think you've heard of similar companies.

Trust us, you haven’t.

We do not use psychometric tests, as this established and often misused method will only tell you what you may be good at. These tests don’t help you find your true calling, your life purpose or work that you love doing.

We are not recruitment consultants and while valuable, we do not write fancy resumes, give you tips on how to write the perfect cover letter, provide lists of dream jobs, or even give you advice for answering those tricky interview questions. We have found through our own experience that the solution to finding your life purpose or dream job requires a little more soul searching than that.

If you are at a career cross roads or just have had enough of what you are doing (we know how you feel - we started this company because we had the same problems) and feel like your career has lost direction and meaning, or perhaps you just need some career orientation - then we can help. We are experts in career transition and more importantly helping people find their life purpose on the earth. There's no better feeling than doing work you love. Work starts to feel like a hobby and your ability to focus and achieve increase tenfold which in turn improves your chances of sustainable and meaningful success. Life's is too short to be doing work you hate and that's exactly why we're here.

 

How we do it

Three Giant Leaps uses a patented and proprietary method developed over twelve years combining modern psychology with ancient wisdom from around the world. (it might be old but boy - it works!) Our twelve part Three Giant Leaps Method adopts a holistic approach that shows you exactly how to find your purpose in life. Divided into 3 distinct worlds around twelve principles and practices and has been successfully used by corporate executives and high school students alike to discover remarkable work and careers.

We achieve great results because we use a curriculum that uses assigments to help you find your truth north. These exercises mean that in between coaching sessions you are still learning and progressing with your program. Our programs run for a maximum of 14 weeks so when you work with Three Giant Leaps you know exactly how much you will pay and for how long.

Why We Do It

We do this work because we believe that every person has the potential and ability to do work they love, fulfilling their own potential and contributing to our world in a positive way.

Three Giant Leaps is the combined vision of two people who have experienced very different journeys through life and have collaborated to enable people all over the world to enjoy happier lives.

Many people in the modern world find themselves doing work that leaves them unfulfilled, unmotivated and unhappy.

Thousands of years ago things were very different in America. To ensure that their tribes prospered, Native Americans depended on their members to work harmoniously as a unit. The leaders and elders of these tribes knew that the best way to guarantee their survival and success as a whole was to be certain each member took on a role that was right for them.

To achieve this, tribes offered every young male a chance to participate in their own Vision Quest, a process that involves much ceremony and learning. This culminates in the young boy living alone in the wilderness for up to ten days without food, water or shelter. Once the boys completed their Vision Quest, they would make their way back to the tribe with a clear vision of their role and purpose within the tribe. The women of the tribe went through their own set of initiations that included honoring their transition from childhood to womanhood.

Twelve years ago Laurel Donnellan, equipped with twenty years of leadership and human development expertise, immersed herself in the lengthy process of practicing and learning from this ancient tradition. Laurel discovered that her life purpose was to take the knowledge she had attained over the years and translate ancient Vision Quest ideals into a practical and contemporary program so that everyone can find their true calling.

While she studied this ancient tradition, she also received a Master’s in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University, a coaching certificate from the Hudson Institute and a Yoga teaching certification from the Omega Institute in preparation for her work with teens and adults.

Laurel began writing her book soon after she completed her Vision Quest and she has coached thousands of people on the way to developing the programs used today at Three Giant Leaps. While psychology can help us understand who we are and what we want, traditions provide a deeper understanding of our place in the world and the discipline to accomplish goals. Our programs seamlessly combine the latest findings of modern psychology with ancient wisdom and practice into a twelve part methodology that has proved to be the most effective way of helping people find their life purpose.

British born Paul Lanzarotti, Three Giant Leaps’s CEO & Co-Founder had a rather different experience. He left school without any formal career direction and found himself (along with many of his friends) without any idea what to do for work. He began working for some of Europe’s largest and most prestigious media companies but soon found himself unfulfilled and looking for more. While many of his friends considered him a success, Paul was unsatisfied and knew that there was something more significant he should be doing with his life, so he packed his bags, moved to New York and followed his dream of being a socially responsible entrepreneur.

Paul's experience at school and throughout his career is actually the norm, not the exception. Many of us have gone through the first half of life with very little focus or guidance to help us discover our strengths and passions and how to turn these into meaningful and prosperous work. Together, Laurel and Paul want to fix this issue so that every adult can discover their life purpose and move into a career they love and every child can leave school excited and motivated about their future with a clear understanding of what they want to do.

We are dedicated to be of service to the world community through having a triple bottom-line (planet, profit, people) orientation and helping our clients identify how they can better serve their community. In the past, we have provided pro-bono programs to a prison, youth organizations, a High School and adults in need of support during a period of unemployment. In the future, we will be providing one need-based scholarship for each of our adult group programs.
