For too long, success has been narrowly defined by external achievements—productivity, position, prestige. Many of us were taught to push harder, follow rules, and ignore the quiet whispers of our bodies and hearts. But the world is shifting. The old push-and-hustle approach is giving way to a new paradigm—one where energy, intuition, and alignment take center stage. This book shares the journey of several authors around this exact topic.

Corporate to Calling is a powerful anthology capturing this evolution through the voices of courageous women navigating the complex journey from traditional corporate roles to authentic self-expression and purpose-driven work. The book is a mosaic of stories, insights, and frameworks inviting you to rediscover what truly matters: work that nourishes, not depletes, soul-driven success, and the courage to follow your own unique path.

Among these voices, Nicole Scheffler contributes a compelling chapter titled The DIVA Code: Upgrade Your Hardware, Software, and Power Source for Ultimate Fulfillment. Nicole brings her 20+ years of experience in technology leadership and entrepreneurship combined with a heart-centered approach to serving others. Her chapter offers a practical yet transformative framework for recognizing and nurturing your passion—the power source that fuels all your work.

Nicole’s journey exemplifies a modern integration of corporate and calling. For her, living her purpose doesn’t mean abandoning corporate life; it means bringing intention, service, and alignment into every space, influencing innovation ethically and mentoring others with integrity. She teaches readers how to take accountability for their responses to life’s events through the simple but profound formula:

Events + Response = Outcome (E + R = O)

Mastering this formula empowers you to choose responses aligned with your values, transforming challenges into opportunities. Nicole extends this with the “hardware” (body) and “software” (mindset) metaphor—explaining how self-care, mindset upgrades, and how identifying your passion can fuel your success.

At the heart of her chapter is the DIVA Code framework—a four-step process to upgrade mindset and action for lasting impact:

• Discover your unique divine gifts—your personal superpowers and essence

• Draw Inspiration from what energizes and motivates you

• Clarify your Vision of the life aligned with your purpose

• Take aligned Action through consistent, intentional steps

By applying the DIVA Code, Nicole shows readers how to bridge reflection and real-world results, living fulfilling lives that honor their true calling—inside or outside corporate structures.

Together, the authors of Corporate to Calling offer a living map to courage, clarity, and self-actualization. Whether you’re seeking to reignite your passion, rewrite your career story, or create lasting impact, this collection invites you to listen deeply to your heart, honor your uniqueness, and step powerfully into your own version of success.

If you’re ready to break free from outdated norms and embrace a more aligned, inspired life, this book is your guide. Discover Nicole’s chapter along with many others that will move, challenge, and activate your journey toward ultimate fulfillment.
