Here's what some people are saying about the Life Calling Bootcamp. Experience for yourself what they've learned about our approach.
"The world needs more brave people who will venture to do what only they can. But you don’t just fall into your life calling—you need courage, focus, and a guide who has been there. I’ve seen Chris Heinz take bold steps into his calling and he’ll help you walk into yours."
"The desire to experience meaning in one’s life and work is profound, but the process of discerning and living a calling can be confusing and complex. The Life Calling Bootcamp understands this and embraces the need for nuance. It brings the vital components of the calling journey together in one place. I strongly recommend it."
"Thank you very much Chris and the team. Your sharings of life calling have been fantastic. They have confirmed my own life calling. I love your commitment to the training and your availability."
"I had already been working as a life calling coach and yet Chris' material in the Life Calling Institute gave me a clearer and more detailed perspective on life calling. His approach is very tangible, easy to remember and helpful in the pursuit of a meaningful life."
"I am continually encouraged by what you are doing to help others find their calling. I believe I've found my life calling to help adoptive families, and I pray that others will do the same as a result of this class."
Finding and living your life calling takes intention, focus, and the right elements. Our Bootcamp takes a comprehensive approach to life calling.

I tend to work with entrepreneurs, business owners and church leaders in my day to day coaching work but also adore taking people through their CliftonStrengths results and going on a journey of finding the joy and the way forwards in your purpose, calling and dreams. I can’t wait to meet you and find out what only you have to bring to the world.

I use resources such as CliftonStrengths, the Enneagram, and creative problem solving tools to help clients grow in self-awareness and make creative and courageous choices in their lives.

Certifications: Gallup Certified Strengths Coach; Certified Imago Relationships Therapy Educator
I am born and bred in Aotearoa – New Zealand, the land of many cultures, of the Lord of the Rings, and the All Blacks. I discovered the joy of coaching around 8 years ago, and although my calling has found a range of expressions over my various careers, I love the meaning and purpose that I have discovered in my role of a coach. I am a trained Strengths coach with Gallup and love seeing the joy in people’s eyes as they experience that ‘ah-ha’ moment that comes with self-discovery. I have the privilege of coaching individuals, couples, leaders, and church and work-based teams, helping people to understand self and others to build connections and relationships. I have been married to Rose for 34 years and have seen our three daughters grow into beautiful, strong women. I am now loving the role of grandparenting – the life that comes from being young, without the responsibility and tiredness of being the parent!)

My goal: inspire them to achieve greater personal satisfaction, confidence, meaningful performance outcomes, and success. My professional career spans 38 years in the health insurance industry consulting with employers and individuals to comply with state and federal laws, help them finance the cost of health care, and advocate, on their behalf with lawmakers and regulators, to improve the health care landscape.

I have been married for over two decades and have two young adult daughters, one biological and one adopted. Part of my life calling has been immersion in parenting, marriage, and baby-boomer generation lived experiences, including being part of the sandwich generation, raising daughters and helping an aging parent navigate healthy independence.
Life calling isn’t always easy. By the time I was 40, three of my immediate family had tragically passed away. I have first-hand experience with grief and actualizing my life calling through that grief.
The apostle Paul gave some guidance for the purpose of such life experiences in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, “Blessed be…the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” (ESV).
I am grateful for the privilege I have had to broaden and deepen my knowledge and experiences so that I may serve my clients most effectively.
I have been formally coaching since 2017, but I have been mentoring for decades. My faith is key to my coaching and is my lens for life calling. My Top 5 Clifton Strengths are Learner, Connectedness, Individualization, Input and Achiever. I am an Enneagram social 8-wing 7. I love people and value and honor their personhood.
I believe we are uniquely created and gifted and that everyone has a unique life calling.
