LIVE WITH PURPOSE. DISCOVER YOUR CALLING. A structured self-discovery process to help you build on your experience and bring greater clarity to what comes next.
5 Elements · 22 short video lessons · guided reflection exercises · 12 months of online access
Along the way, you’ve accumulated more than a CV of roles or achievements. You’ve gained experience, capability, relationships, perspective and lessons that have shaped who you are and what matters to you.
The question can begin to change. It becomes less about,
“What am I capable of doing?”
and more about
“What do I want to do with what I’ve gained?”
You may already have some ideas, or simply sense that there is more you could contribute.
“What you’ve already lived, learned and developed may hold important clues to what comes next.”
Discover Your Calling is built around five connected Elements that move from reflection to action.
Reflect → Identify → Visualise → Define → Action
For most people, clarity develops over time. What becomes clear at one stage can help reveal what comes next.
You don’t need to see the whole path at the start.
The process helps clarify what you can see for now:
- a clear next step
- several stages ahead, or
- a stronger sense of the direction you’re heading towards.
What’s inside
01 — Reflect
Look back over your life to see the foundations that have shaped you and the trends that run through it.
02 — Identify
Look at where you are now and what you’re carrying with you: what’s supporting you, and what may be holding you back.
03 — Visualise
Imagine a life well lived, and what you’d want it to stand for.
04 — Define
Put clear words and focus around what you do, so your direction can be expressed and acted on.
05 — Action
Work through the structures, considerations and approaches that turn direction into practical next steps.
They’re connected, but they’re not quite the same.
Purpose comes in stages. Each is a stepping stone, and the one immediately ahead of you is the focus for this season of your life.
Calling is the bigger picture: the direction those stages of purpose are leading towards.
Discover Your Calling is an online course made up of five Elements and 22 short video lessons, with guided reflection exercises you can work through in your own time. The lessons take a coaching approach, with thoughtful questions that help you explore your own answers.
A suggested pace is about one Element a week, or around five weeks, but there’s no timetable. You have 12 months of online access to move at the pace that suits your life, and to return to the lessons whenever you need.
All you need is a computer, Wi-Fi and the commitment to see it through. (Printer optional.)

Individual experiences vary.
I’m Rick Paget, founder and coach at Equipe Coaching. My professional coach training was completed through ICF-accredited programs, and I’ve been coaching since 2008. My interest in purpose and calling began well before that.
For about 15 years after leaving school, I was trying to understand my own direction. I explored different paths, ideas and approaches, gradually recognising that some of the most useful clues were already present in my experiences, values and the things that continued to matter to me. My faith has also shaped how I think about purpose, calling and service.
As I began coaching others, I saw something similar happening in their lives. People didn’t necessarily need someone to give them the answer. Thoughtful questions, reflection and the opportunity to recognise patterns in their own story could help a direction begin to take shape. That led me to create the first version of the Discover Your Calling Course in 2012.
If you’re asking similar questions, I’d be glad to walk alongside you.
The DYC Course + Coaching option adds two 60-minute coaching sessions with Rick, by phone or online, to explore what is emerging, work through important questions and bring greater clarity and momentum to your next steps.

*Grounded in Christian values; for people of any background.

How is the course delivered?
Online, through 22 short video lessons across the five Elements, with downloadable reflection exercises. You can work through it in your own time, from wherever suits you.
How long does it take?
It’s self-paced. A suggested pace is about one Element a week, or around five weeks, but there’s no timetable. You have 12 months of online access, so you can take longer and return to the lessons whenever you need.
Will I know my calling by the end?
Not necessarily all at once. Everyone’s journey is different. We don’t tell you what your purpose or calling is. The process helps you explore your own answers. For some people, that may mean a clear next step; for others, several stages ahead or a stronger sense of the broader direction they’re heading towards.
The aim is greater clarity about what may come next, together with practical steps to begin moving in that direction.
Can I get coaching support?
Yes. The DYC Course + Coaching option includes two 60-minute coaching sessions with Rick, by phone or online, alongside the course.

Can I add coaching later?
Yes. If you begin with Self-Guided, you can add up to two 60-minute coaching sessions with Rick at $185 each while you have access to the course. If you already know you’d like two sessions, Course + Coaching includes them from the start.
Is the course only for Christians?
No. Discover Your Calling is grounded in Christian values, and the course is open to anyone, whatever their faith background (or none).
