Build a life, and lead an organization, as meaningful as it is successful.
Hello, I’m Casey.
Founder of The Purpose Lab
Executive Coach • Leadership Strategist • LICSW • Speaker
I work at the intersection of psychology, leadership, and purpose.
For more than 15 years, I’ve helped people and organizations navigate growth, complexity, transition, and reinvention. Today, I partner with executives, founders, physicians, entrepreneurs, leadership teams, and accomplished professionals who want to think more intentionally about how they lead, how they work, and ultimately, how they want to live.
I’m endlessly curious about people: what motivates us, what makes us come alive, and what happens when the life we’ve built no longer quite fits the person we’re becoming.
That curiosity has shaped my entire career.
I’ve coached executives, worked alongside founders and organizational leaders, taught at Brown University, practiced as a therapist, and helped grow a national education company from its earliest stages to reaching nearly two million students each year.
Across all of those experiences, I kept encountering the same thing: incredibly capable people asking really big questions.
What do I want now?
Is the way I’m working actually working for me?
What matters enough to build the next chapter around?
How do I lead well without losing myself in the process?
Those questions eventually led me to create The Purpose Lab, a place for curious, evolving humans to explore what’s next.
My work combines evidence based psychology with the practical realities of careers, leadership, relationships, ambition, and change. My early research was shaped by Dr. Rick Snyder and Dr. Shane Lopez, pioneers in Hope Theory and Positive Psychology, and I’ve spent my career translating those ideas into the messy, wonderful reality of actual human lives.
Today, I work with executives, founders, teams, and people navigating moments of transition or reinvention. Sometimes that work looks like executive coaching. Sometimes it’s facilitation or leadership development. The format changes. The fundamental work doesn’t.
I help people step back from the noise, ask better questions, and get honest about what they want to build next.
I don’t believe a meaningful life requires abandoning ambition. I think the more interesting question is how we build lives and careers where success, purpose, contribution, relationships, and joy get to exist alongside one another.
That’s the question I’m most interested in.
And if you are too, I’d love to know you.
Work with us!
