I Help Professionals Make Their Work Matter & Design a Life of Impact | Keynote Speaker | Executive Coach | Bestselling Author | Podcast Host | Ex-HGTV Executive
Hi there! I'm Traci Schubert Barrett, an innovative entrepreneur, visionary founder, and accomplished business owner. You may know me as one of the founding team members behind the massively popular television network HGTV, but my journey doesn't stop there.
๐ In January 2023, my first book hit the shelves - What If There's More? Finding Significance Beyond Success. This instant best-seller chronicles my journey of almost two decades at HGTV and my unexpected decision to walk away at the height of my career in search of something more. Through this book, I offer a practical framework for making peace with your past, renewing your perspective on who you are today, and confidently stepping into a legacy-leaving future.
โ๏ธ I love hearing people's stories and helping them design their next chapter in life. My passion lies in empowering others to discover their unique talents and using those strengths to create a clear vision for their future through my signature process called STRATEGIC LIFE MAP. My program is a unique blend of strategic planning tools and psychology exercises that lead to transformative break through.
STRATEGIC LIFE MAP gives you:
โฆฟ Clarity on who you are today
โฆฟ Renewed meaning & purpose in your work
โฆฟ Confidence on what to do next
โฆฟ A detailed plan to get there
You can experience this life-changing process through my online course with group coaching, or privately either virtual or in-person. Find out more at www.tracischubertbarrett.com/courses
๐ฃ When I am not writing or consulting with clients, you can find me on stage delivering keynotes to all types of audiences. I love speaking to crowds of all sizes about finding meaning and purpose in their work. Whether itโs through stories about the early days of HGTV or coaching CEOs through sticky situations, I know how to hold your attention while also challenging you to imagine a bigger and more positive impact. I love inspiring people to commit to a common purpose while holding each other accountable for excellent results.
โญ๏ธ I also co-founded Navigate the Journey, a leading business consulting firm, and help lead it to great success over the last decade. As business and leadership strategists, we are dedicated to helping organizations, teams, and individuals reach their full potential.
Join me on this exciting journey of discovering what lies beyond success - let's reimagine our futures together! ๐
