More than most people, you can cherry-pick how you fill your days. But right now, you find yourself in a particular sort of pickle.
More than most people, you can cherry-pick how you fill your days. But right now, you find yourself in a particular sort of pickle.
By external measures, you’re ragingly successful, on track, and moving up in the world. Because of what you’ve accomplished so far, there’s an obvious path to career ascension at your feet. It’s yours for the taking, and most people would think you’re a fool not to take it.
But there’s just one catch: You don’t want it.
Maybe you’re restless (or bored). Maybe you’ve lost touch with what you loved about the work in the first place. Maybe you don’t feel much of anything, other than a vague sense that you are going through the motions.

But that’s not all.
Inside you, something else stirs. A spark. A kernel. A glimmer. Something you want to do… or experience… or create… Let’s call it an “unmet dream.”
Maybe it’s a book project that’s beyond or bigger than your comfort zone.
Maybe it’s an unconventional—or even unorthodox—career move (which thrills you, just to picture it).
Maybe it’s an inkling to walk away from everything you’ve built so far (which may – or may not – come to pass, but is an impulse packed with clues about what needs to change).
Yet instead of pausing to investigate this precious clue for instructions about what you must do next (if you are ever to again experience joy, real success, personal mastery, and soul satisfaction as a human being)…
…You keep pushing it off. So it stays an idea…instead of the thing you wake up every morning and get to do – and be – every day.
This is where I come in.

WHAT'S YOUR UNMET DREAM?
Introduction from Dominique Chlup on Vimeo.
Dr. Dominique Chlup works with highly accomplished academics, creatives, and executives who decide it’s time to turn their unmet dream into real life. But please don’t let the word “dream” fool you – this is no squishy, light undertaking. It’s a blend of decisive, imaginative, tactical work for people audacious enough to believe that they can design the life they want, so that they can then go live it.
My clients are highly accomplished academics, creatives, and executives. Regardless of the specifics of your situation or career, our work together addresses four key areas:
- What Really Matters – What matters most to you?
- Imagining Your Future – What does your ideal life look and feel like? What do you do on your ideal day? What would it look like to multiply your dream by ten?
- Mastering Your Psychology – What adjustments will boost the inevitability of your unmet dream happening?
- Planning and Taking Action – What next steps do you take towards the life you want, while honoring key commitments and responsibilities that continue to matter to you?
My clients appreciate that I come to this work after earning two degrees from Harvard, only to realize I didn’t want to continue life as a professor. I ended up walking away from a tenured position to become a life coach! So I know firsthand what it is to have accrued credentials and expectations, only to discover they didn’t end up being what you’d envisioned. And I also know for certain that those of us who find ourselves in this position have far more freedom, range of movement, creativity, and possibility available to us than it may first seem.

How I work with clients
I work with clients in two main ways
(but if this isn’t what you’re looking for, no sweat – let’s talk, there are other options):
DEEP DIVE IN 45
This 45-minute phone session is for people who have one issue to resolve. It could be a question like: Do I quit my job to start this other one? Do I write this book or that one? Do I move across the country or across the world?
In one phone session together with Dominique, you’ll clarify what you are committed to, get an actionable agenda for this one issue, and identify accountability you need to put in place to make it happen. You’ll walk away with major clarity on what you need to do to move towards your goal and the motivation to get into action.
$250 USD
WORK PRIVATELY
For those who have several issues, changes, or decisions to make, meet weekly with Dominique for six phone sessions.
Over the course of our work together, we’ll get to the root of what you really want and why it matters to you, and come up with clear action steps to take to move toward living a life that feels deeply satisfying and so right, you just might pinch yourself.
$1,495 USD for six 45-minute sessions

You will not regret working with Dominique.
I had always felt like a failure or an academic imposter before I started working with Dominique. All of that has changed now because she counseled me to change that vision of myself and to rework my internal dialogue. …Dominique is an amazing spirit who truly cares about all of her clients and is attentive and responsive with all of her correspondence. She is inspiring, and I am grateful for the time spent together. You will not regret working with Dominique.
I highly suggest using her
I had the privilege and honor to work with the amazing Dominique Chlup ….She was just as she seems here, friendly, professional, and wowzers her brilliance and intelligence was astounding. I highly suggest using her if you need to be trained and coached…
a true authority on the creative process…
I would recommend Dominique’s coaching to anyone looking for the perfect combination of “expert” and “cheerleader.” She is a true authority on the creative process and knows how to keep a client accountable and growing. But far from being intimidating, she is encouraging, optimistic, and endlessly enthusiastic. This was an ideal mix for me, as I had been disappointed in the past by coaches and instructors who were too lenient or familiar with only a limited number of techniques.
When the student is ready to learn
Remember the saying, “When the student is ready to learn, the teacher appears”? That is exactly what I think about every time I attend one of Dominique’s workshops: whatever my need at that particular moment — motivation, getting un-stuck or figuring out in which direction to take my work — Dominique always provides what I need to take the next step (either a breakthrough, validation, or much appreciated motivation and enthusiasm!)… Can’t recommend her work highly or strongly enough, especially for folks considering doing something new, but not sure what…
grateful for this whole coaching
Every call I have with Dominique makes me feel less and less anxious and more and more motivated to not only write but to get control of my entire life! Thank you to Dominique! You are truly a blessing, and I’m so grateful for this whole coaching experience!
all that changed in just one hour!
I am pleased to report that I got my writing project done and on time! The feedback has been really positive. They thought it was an excellent piece. After our session, everything just flowed! I was feeling so stuck before and all that changed in just one hour! I’m really looking forward to working with you again.
Dominique has given me the gift
There is a saying in Greek that medicine comes in three forms, love (agapi); friendship (filia), and tenderness (storgi). Dominique offers all three in her coaching and the care-full holding environment that she provided for me to do hard and deep work on bringing my voice onto paper. In our work together, over the past several months, I have learned from Dominique that writing is life giving and life affirming, a framing that I had lost in my race to publish as an academic.
Dominique has given me the gift of soul in writing, and to trust that the soul leads to writing that will be read and have impact. Her passion for holding me in the light of creative possibility as I struggled to bring my voice to paper has been life changing. I look forward to my book, an idea I did not have in my mind when I first began this coaching relationship and one that I will create because of it. Dominique is real, loving, and sharp as a sword though layers of ignorance.
