“Helping you move from burnout to Living Purpose through awareness, clarity, and meaningful impact.” Live Energized. Live Aware. Start Living Purpose.

At reKindle XM, we believe burnout can be a powerful turning point—not a dead end. After years of watching people push through exhaustion, lose their passion, and feel disconnected from what matters, we set out to create a clearer path forward. That journey began with our book, reKindle: Your Path from Burnout to Erupting with Passion and Purpose, which helps readers understand what’s draining them, reconnect with their spark, and begin rebuilding their energy. Find our book here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/rekindle-brian-gattshall/1145564441?ean=9781636985022

But healing and clarity don’t stop with the last page. People needed a way to live this transformation, not just read about it. That’s why we created Living Purpose—a practical framework designed to help you sustain clarity, energy, and meaning in everyday life. Living Purpose focuses on three essential forms of awareness: https://www.rekindlexmhub.com

🔵 Professional Awareness — understanding your genius, strengths, and roles so you can work with clarity and energy.
💚 Personal Awareness — recognizing yourself, others, and environments so you can communicate better, protect your energy, and build stronger relationships.
💜 Purpose Awareness — identifying your values, meaning, and deeper “why” so your choices feel aligned and intentional. Together, these pillars offer a grounded, sustainable way to navigate work, relationships, and personal growth without slipping back into burnout. They help you create a life that fuels you instead of draining you—a life where purpose isn’t something you search for, but something you live daily. Whether you're recovering from burnout, feeling stuck in your current path, or simply ready to grow with more awareness and intention, we’re here to guide you from spark to sustained purpose.

What different feelings come up for you throughout the workday?

Excitement, motivation, satisfaction? Or frustration, exhaustion, dread?

Sometimes we try to push through these feelings. But our emotions at work aren’t random; they’re signals.

What might they be trying to tell you?

03/27/2026

Are you ever hard on yourself because you can’t seem to “click” with someone? Or confused because you don’t understand why?

You’re not alone. In fact, that’s completely normal. Everyone has different personalities and communication styles. They’re going to naturally connect—and clash—in different ways.

DISC helps reveal the patterns behind those reactions so you can better understand yourself and the people around you.

Change doesn’t have to be dramatic. It starts with one small step.

Over the past four weeks, we ran our first Professional Awareness pilot class. The goal wasn’t to fix people or tell them to make drastic career changes. It was simply to help people understand themselves and see their work more clearly.

Across the four sessions, participants explored:
• why some work energizes them while other responsibilities drain them
• the difference between skills they’ve learned and strengths that come naturally
• how their daily tasks reveal their real role beyond their job title
• why procrastination and frustration are often signals of misalignment, not laziness
• how small adjustments in schedule and responsibilities can improve alignment at work

Professional awareness isn’t about labeling yourself. It’s about understanding how you contribute best and how to structure your work so it’s more sustainable over time.

And once that clarity exists, the next step isn’t drastic change. It’s small, intentional adjustments.

We’re grateful to everyone who participated in this pilot class and helped shape what this course will become.

And this is just the beginning. Our Personal Awareness pilot class is coming soon. Stay tuned for more information — and make sure you're subscribed to our newsletter to be the first to know: https://www.rekindlexmhub.com/newsletter

When stress rises, your natural communication style intensifies.

There’s a common belief that change has to be dramatic.

That it will disrupt everything and make things worse before they get better. So we stay where we are even when we're dissatisfied.

But most meaningful change doesn’t start with a dramatic leap. It starts with a first simple step.

We wrapped up our final session of the Professional Awareness pilot this week.

The focus wasn’t on making dramatic changes. It was about something much smaller and much more practical.

👉 Choosing one simple step.

It’s simply asking: What is one small adjustment that would improve alignment?

That might look like:
• stepping out of a recurring meeting that isn’t part of your role
• blocking time for work that fits your strengths
• taking intentional breaks between projects
• setting clearer boundaries around responsibilities

The momentum from small steps matters because fear is the biggest threat to change.

Those fears aren’t flaws; they’re protective instincts. But once you can name them, they stop running the decision.

This final session wasn’t about deciding everything today. It was about choosing a direction, not a destination.

Because clarity doesn’t demand immediate change. It simply makes the next step visible.

Our personal awareness pilot class is coming up next. Stay tuned for more info!

If you can relate to these, it’s a sign that the DISC assessment can help.

Awareness of your communication style helps you to understand why certain patterns keep repeating, so you can avoid frustration and have healthier communication.

We all have natural strengths and ways we operate.

When we become aware of them — and of the work that frustrates or slows us down — we can organize our work in a way that fits who we are.

The Working Genius assessment helps bring that clarity.

Session 3 of our Professional Awareness pilot focused on understanding your actual role. Not your job title. Not the description on LinkedIn. Your real responsibilities.

One participant shared: “It took me a while to work through this because I had never actually thought through my role and what it entails apart from my title.”

That realization unlocked a lot of clarity. Because once people mapped their real responsibilities, they could finally see:
✔ the work that fuels them
✔ the work that drains them
✔ and how much of their week actually fits their strengths

One participant said: “I’m aligned in my workload, but it feels like my company values different types of work more than the kind I enjoy contributing.”

That opened a conversation about something important: organizations often value the types of work leaders personally enjoy most. But every kind of contribution has value.

We also talked about the difference between skills and strengths.

Skills are things you’ve learned to do well through education or experience. Strengths are the natural ways you approach problems and work with people.

The tricky part? You can become very skilled at work you don’t actually enjoy. And the better you get at it… the more people expect you to keep doing it. Which is how effectiveness, not enjoyment, slowly shapes your workload.

Sustainable work requires that more energy is gained than lost.

You simply won’t have perfect alignment across all areas of your work. But you can use more of your geniuses than the other areas.

I spent 24 years in Civil Engineering, working at a job I believed I was good at, yet I was constantly frustrated. I procrastinated, struggled to finish what should have felt straightforward, and quietly carried the tension of not understanding how to change it.

So I did what most people do. I went back to school. I assumed more education would move me into additional areas and fix what felt stagnant.

It didn’t change the work. It just gave me more responsibility in the same format.

Early on, I stopped asking how to change it and started telling myself this must simply be my allotment in life. Later, I decided it didn’t matter and finally left.

Years later, I found Working Genius. It gave language to what I had felt but couldn’t define. Much of engineering is Tenacity and Enablement work — design, plan production, finishing, supporting. You can be fully capable in that kind of work and never enjoy staying in it.

That was the shift.

The problem wasn’t effort. It wasn’t intelligence. It was misalignment.

Working Genius explains how different types of work naturally energize different people. Most of us build skill wherever we’re needed and assume frustration means we need to get better. Sometimes it means the work itself doesn’t match how we’re wired to contribute.

If you’re trying to fix frustration by becoming more competent, pause.

Ask a harder question:

Does this type of work fit how I naturally enjoy work?

Then decide what to do with that answer.
