Let yourself be drawn by the pull of what you really love. - Rumi
For thousands of years, people have wondered why they are here and what they are here to do.
Become who you are meant to become.
Hello, I’m Christine Paquette, Certified Life Mission Coach and Facilitator.
Caravan was calling me before I consciously knew of Caravan or life mission. The whispers were there, waiting patiently, ready for me when I was ready to change my life.
I started my professional journey where many of our paths start - I earned a degree, my B.A., from the University of Western Ontario, and then I stepped squarely and confidently into the business world. That's what we do. I knew no other way. It was the path of "should". I quickly learned the strict playbook of rules that everyone is expected to follow to advance in the business world. Over the course of 25 years, I acquired volumes of experience in the public and private sectors, including construction, manufacturing, IT, government, crown corporations, and environmental and non-profit organizations.
As my portfolio of business acumen grew, I began applying my skills in various consulting roles — facilitating strategic work sessions, conducting leadership training, mentoring and coaching senior and staff level personnel. Eventually, I created my own company, Bridge Dynamics.
Live the life you are meant to live
In the background, however, I was experiencing a persistent yearning for something beyond the systems and structures I helped business people put into place, even beyond the creative ideas I helped to operationalize as a collaborator. There was a palpable disconnect between business aspirations and personal fulfillment.
I knew there were higher possibilities and my seeking led me to author and thought leader, Daniel Goodenough, in 2009. His book, The Caravan of Remembering, along with the inner work I did under his mentorship, and alongside him, awakened in me to the very piece I was missing — my conversation with my life mission.
By learning the skills of deeply questioning — why am I here, what am I called here to do, who am I called here to become — I was able to step into my own life mission, authentically and sacredly. Discovering that I wasn’t alone in this desire to live with greater whole-life balance, I was inspired to create a new offering, Connecting Your Personal and Professional Presence...a natural next step.
Through this venture, I aspire to connect with:individuals who are in the midst of discovering their next for their personal and professional life as their personal Caravan Guide.
Let me help you advance forward in step with your highest and truest life mission calling.
Throughout my career and life, I have worn “many hats”, "different shoes" and lived other people's stories of who I should be. Now, today,being your Caravan Guide is who I am called to be.
Let’s start the conversation together, Christine

Testimonial
Working with the life mission scales and Christine as my Caravan Guide, has given me a sense of peace and a place to dream and explore. Through engaging with the scales and having Christine be there so that I can voice and share the insights, I feel more of a sense of confidence and connection to the answers within that I may not have come to otherwise. Being in an ongoing questioning process of inquiry with the scales helps me stay in the place of ongoing questioning and conversation to move forward with more toward who I want to become, aligned with my life mission (versus someone else's version of what is mine).
