Beyond Achievement

Feel at home anywhere.

Utilize your diverse experience.

Align goals with your authentic self.

Is this you?

✓ You've reached every milestone you’ve set for yourself

Yet you can't shake the feeling of needing to move or seek new experiences. This constant state of restlessness persists regardless of your accomplishments, leaving you always looking for the next challenge or adventure.

✓ Your LinkedIn profile is the envy of your network

With plenty of impressive roles and achievements. But, when you look inward, you feel a sense of emptiness or lack of purpose. Somehow, this external success doesn't translate to internal satisfaction.

✓ You find it hard to settle or find contentment in where you are

There's always another career move, another city, or another life change on the horizon. The grass always seems greener elsewhere, driving you to continuously seek new opportunities.

✓ You can't help but feel "behind" when you look at friends who have taken more traditional life paths

Their marriages, homes, and families make you question your choices, even though you've achieved remarkable things in your own right.

The Result Is…

The inability to form deep, lasting connections and a sense of home - a cycle of constant motion or high stress jobs that prevent you from fully enjoying your achievements or building a life with depth and substance.

You may think…

Constantly seeking new challenges and opportunities is the key to growth

So you've built a career on adaptability, always ready for the next big move. But your identity as a successful nomad might be clashing with emerging desires for stability, deeper connections, or a sense of home.

Routine and predictability are the enemies of an exciting life

So you fill your calendar with networking events and spontaneous adventures. However, this addiction to novelty and external validation—the likes, the impressed reactions, the admiration—may be drowning out your inner voice and true desires.

Your worth is tied to continuously exceeding expectations

So you're always striving, afraid that focusing on personal fulfillment will derail you professionally. But in chasing prestigious opportunities, you may have overlooked your natural talents—skills that could lead to more authentic success around what actually matters to you.

Relationships is an optimization game like your career

So you approach relationships strategically, collecting data and checking boxes. But this analytical approach keeps you from fully engaging, turning relationships into a game of risk mitigation instead of growth.

These beliefs have propelled you to impressive heights, but they're also creating a growing disconnect between your external success & internal fulfillment.

This is known as the

Success Satisfaction Gap

It's "having it all" on paper, but feeling unfulfilled in reality.

Here’s the thing

Your most significant growth and contributions come not from collecting more experiences and titles

But from deeply engaging with the places and people around you.

Your unique global perspective and professional skills are most powerful when applied to a purpose that aligns with your personal values and talents

Not just market demands.

Growing roots doesn't limit your world

It gives you a launchpad to make meaningful progress again.

So let’s help you break free from the cycle of external validation and rediscover a sense of purpose, achievement and fulfillment.

Here’s how I can help

What participants are saying

  • "There were things I wanted to get done that I wouldn't have remembered to do without the expansive and unfolding design of an Epiphany map."

  • “The Inner Epiphany Map made me think of things that I never really thought of. It makes me realize how much we take for granted in the people we connect with.”

  • “Epiphany Mapping a bucket list item and breaking down into smaller steps makes it seem less like an unattainable daydream and more like something that could really happen.”

  • “Take-away this time was adding the time estimates (for the 2-Week Impact Sprints). Wow, this was a big ah hah for me because I realize how doable this really is.”

  • “The recordings of the live sessions are an opportunity to hear our fellow mappers tell their stories, which flesh out the Epiphany maps they draw.”

  • "Sheng's technique is a masterpiece in simplicity. It has been transformative, both in my professional and personal life. I was able to establish new connections and insights that I would have otherwise missed."

    Chris Rodgers, Instructional Design Coordinator

  • "As I work with my Sales Reps to prepare complex presentations, I always see on everyone's face how much clarity my mind maps create! Sheng's maps has become my personal project management tool."

    Emmanuel Fadojutimi, Hubspot Solutions Engineer

    Woojin Kim, CEO of Fiverock, 3x Founder of $280M companies & 6M customers

    Bob Ewing, Founder of The Ewing School Coaching Company

Woojin Kim, CEO of FiveRock, 3x Founder of DTC companies

“I’m profoundly grateful for Sheng’s support and guidance.

As a three-time Founder and CEO who has generated over $280M in value and served 6M+ customers, I have worked with many coaches and consultants. But none of them have Sheng’s ability to cut through noise and complexity in such a structured and personalized way.

When I met Sheng, my head was in disarray and things were chaotic as I was spinning up a new venture. I was often taking on too much, saying yes to too many things, and getting pulled apart by a multitude of stakeholders and obligations.

Over the course of our sessions, we mapped out the real opportunities and issues, implemented systems and tools like Agile, sprints, and Notion to make me and my team more efficient and responsive, and crafted go-to-market strategies that addressed bleeding-neck customer pains. His insights have even started rebuilding a dynamic that strengths my entire company.

More than anything, however, is his heart in all this. He’s willing to fight for his clients and do what’s right for them. I honestly could not have broken through so many personal barriers without his wisdom and skills. With each passing day, I see and feel progress more palpably.

Sheng has given me more than productivity and systems. He has given me hope, clarity and confidence in tackling my future chaos. If he has an opening in his offering, I recommend you take it!”

Bob Ewing, Founder of The Ewing School

“Sheng has been transformational for our company.

As the founder of a boutique coaching company, I felt swamped with tasks and stuck in how I was managing everything. Thankfully, Sheng is a world-class listener, organizer, and problem solver.

He streamlined my newsletter creation flow with a Notion Kanban board, so that I'm not scrambling every week to meet deadlines. He designed a customized Notion CRM for my team that replaced our outdated project management tools and it works perfectly. 

His skills with Notion, Mind Maps, and Sprints are invaluable. He’s helped me organize my thoughts, business, and life. Now my head is above water and I can focus my time and attention on big ideas and projects that create lasting value for my company.

I have already recommended Sheng to several colleagues and friends. Honestly, I want to always have Sheng be a part of our team.”

Elyas Popa, Associate Vice President - Citi | Founder & Director Human Rights Network | Owner Oti NYC Restaurant | Cofounder Zachary Elyas Gallery

“I personally have used the mind-mapping technique that Sheng expands on in a variety of my work. As a chef and restauranteur, gallery owner, nonprofit founder, and EDI consultant, Sheng’s mind-mapping structures have become an essential business tool I use daily to make critical decisions and line myself up for success.

Not only that, but I use his technique in my personal life, excavating previously hidden connections in my spirituality, emotional well-being and thought processes.

Needless to say, not only does his technique of mind-mapping become a tool for growth and success, but it has become a way to achieve peace of mind.

Since starting the process with Sheng, all my employees and teams use mind-maps to communicate, organise, and deliver results with precision and clarity.”
