3 Key Lessons: Sign Up for the True North Welcome Series

BEYOND THE GOLDEN HANDCUFFS

If you're reading this, you're probably like me a few years ago.

The prestigious pedigree & job title. The impressive income. The LinkedIn profile that commands respect.

Yet feeling trapped and stuck with no route to escape, facing decisions that feel impossible:

  • Massive career moves where every option feels like sacrificing security OR settling for misalignment

  • Family expectations that makes bold moves feel irresponsible, trapping you in soul-draining work

  • The paralysis of success — every decision has massive consequences when you actually have something to lose

Every Monday feels like just another week of going through the motions.

This program gives you the chance to redesign your life. It’s not a typical tool- or knowledge-based course, nor merely a healing course. It’s an organic system that brings you closer to yourself and empowers you to build the life you want. If that’s your highest pursuit, you owe it to yourself to give it a try.

Three Intelligence Systems.

You're Only Using One.

Neuroscience shows decisions happen in our emotional-somatic systems, yet every decision-making framework we've learned is based on logic.

Which means when you try to "analyze your way through" life transitions, you're using inefficient & insufficient tools.

This program integrates our three intelligence systems:

  • Your body's wisdom about unconscious behavioral patterns

  • Your heart's emotional clarity about authentic vision-value alignment

  • Your mind's analytical analysis for practical planning

"The core value of this program is its systematic approach to helping each person find their greatest potential—like fine-tuning an athlete’s optimal form. Unlike other courses that hand you a perfect SOP and have you practice blindly, the program’s blend of Annie’s exceptional coaching ability and a deeply human yet structured approach enabled me to track my progress step by step, so during the process I witnessed how much I have transformed and how far I have leapt in achieving my goals.

From Analysis Paralysis to Authentic Direction

Not self-improvement. Self-Revelation - and then Self Revolution.

30 days of structured work to revolutionize yourself and build a decision-making system you'll use for the rest of your life.

Strategic Clarity: Gain crystal-clear direction on your next major work & life decisions

Aligned Risk-Taking: Assess which risks are worth taking because you're clear on what you're building toward

Confident Direction: Have embodied knowing about your path forward, even when specific outcomes aren't guaranteed

Sustainable Success: Professional achievements energize rather than exhaust you because they align with your vision and ambition

Energy & Motivation: Wake up everyday fired up about the life you are building

"Annie has an incredible talent for listening deeply and unpacking the core limiting beliefs underneath my thoughts, helping me break through my restrictive patterns fast. Through this program, I learned a great deal about myself and gained a clearer understanding of where I stand in life—identifying my goals, values, and purpose. It wasn’t just about goal-setting or decision-making skills; it was about truly looking inward to understand why I set certain goals, what motivates me, and how to view the future from a fresh perspective."

MEET THE FOUNDER

Annie Hsieh

From Taiwan to Wall Street and back to the inner work, Annie is an executive performance coach who coaches high performers through rapid, holistic transformation to turn external achievement into full-spectrum inner excellence: sharper decision making, sustained mental endurance, and deeper relationships.

Her method blends Western performance science (cognitive neuroscience, behavioral psychology) with Eastern principles (somatic regulation, Vipassana, Zen wisdom) so results scale without perfectionism, burnout, and conditional self-worth.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This is not another quick-hack guide with generic frameworks, personality assessments, and cookie-cutter advice that assumes one path works for everyone.

This is a deep self-discovery journey designed to help you access insights that are uniquely yours.

We will identify and reverse the optimization patterns that taught you to build someone else's definition of success instead of your own.

And develop an authentic decision architecture — a reliable process for navigating complexity that gives you clear direction even when facing unprecedented choices.

FAQs

Who is this program for?

North Star Launchpad is for high-achieving professionals at an inflection point who feel stuck on major life decisions and want decisive clarity: which path, why, and how to move now—without second-guessing.

Does this program have an age threshold?

North Star Launchpad isn’t about age; it’s about a moment in your life. If you feel lost about your purpose, or you’re torn between your own path and the weight of societal expectations and external validation, this program is for you.

I feel generally stuck but don’t know my exact question yet. Is this for me?

Yes. Many participants start with vague dissatisfaction rather than a clear choice. The first two weeks help you identify what you're actually navigating. By Week 3, you'll have clarity on your authentic direction and be applying the methodology to real decisions.

What should I know before joining?

This isn't a typical course where you consume information and get answers. This is also not a theoretical program that teaches you concepts. You'll be challenged to access intelligence you've been trained to ignore—your body's wisdom and emotional clarity. It requires daily practice (10-15 minutes), weekly coaching sessions, and bringing your actual life decisions to the work. The transformation happens through application, not just understanding.

How much time does this require?

Expect 3-4 hours weekly for 4 weeks: one 45-60 minute training session, 10-15 minutes of daily practice, and one 75-minute private coaching session. This is designed to fit demanding professional schedules—but you need to show up consistently for the work to transform you.

Who is not a fit?

If you’re already locked on a big goal and primarily need execution systems and influence skills so that you can pursue your goal without anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, and burnout, APEX High Performance is the better fit for you.

North Star Launchpad vs. APEX High Performance — which one is right for me?

Give me the TL;DR.

Choose North Star Launchpad if you need clarity (What do I want? Which path? What’s my 90-day plan?).

Choose APEX High Performance if you have clarity and need performance (How do I scale results sustainably? How do I lead/influence better and feel calm while moving fast?).

Can I do both? In what order?
Yes. Many clients do NSL → APEX. Decide first, then scale.

What if I’m still unsure where to start?
Contact us and book a short fit call! Let's decide together.

How is this different from other coaching programs or courses?

Most coaching tries to push you somewhere; this work pulls your own wisdom forward.

We don’t “fix” you or pile on tips. We co-design an operating system where your ambition runs on alignment, not adrenaline—pairing Western performance science (cognitive/behavioral) with Eastern practice (somatics, Zen principles). You’ll update deep patterns (perfectionism, people-pleasing, conditional self-worth) and install practical stacks (decision frameworks, energy protocols, communication rhythms). The result is change that’s felt in your nervous system and measured in your calendar, output, and relationships.

How is this different from therapy?

Coaching is present/future-oriented and performance-focused. We touch emotions and patterns, with the aim to have aligned action and measurable outcomes. Therapy is recommended for clinical needs that address mental health, trauma, and dysfunction.
