Meet Stephen Hobbs
Your Guide on the Ride!
I’m an ager — in my 70th revolution of the sun (2024).
I walk as a “Solo-Ager”.
As to Older to Elder, I’m exploring what it means for me.
I work with wholistic, reciprocal education approaches — especially mentoring.
Over the years, across many continents, I gathered evidence-based wisdom. I wanted to harness my “wellth of experiences” and transform them into powerful tools and techniques as I mentor personal growth adventures and the organization of legacy projects. Along the way, I encourage clients to complete their projects with clarity, confidence, and commitment.
During the development and delivery of the different projects and programs, I’ve seen the “applicability required” for evolving “living legacy life” projects and programs.
Learning to navigate the shifting landscapes of projects–no matter the size, location, and type–is a way I remain relevant & current with my three projects and support others in moving their projects forward without wasting time, effort, and money.
