Hi, friend.
I’m Cheyanne Skeldon

And I’m glad you’re here. Let’s get clear on who you are and what God has in store for your unique life.

I want to help you:

Gain clarity in your purpose.

Grow confident in your calling.

Go make your impact on the world.

introducing The paterson LifePlan® Process

Live Your Life, On-Purpose

The LifePlan® Process is a facilitated journey, designed to help you discover your unique purpose. Along the way, you’ll gain clarity and direction where you need it most—breakthroughs in the areas you feel stuck and insight into the right next steps forward.

As a certified Paterson LifePlan® Guide, I facilitate the Process through an intentional one-on-one conversation over the course of two full days, leveraging a series of tools and exercises that have been proven over the course of 50+ years and thousands of LifePlans. Once we reach a place of truth-based perspective on your life, we then craft a strategic vision and roadmap that focuses your time, energy, and attention in the right direction for all of the major areas of life: personal, vocation, family, and community.

You’re Asking Good Questions

Every one of us, at one time or another, asks deep, foundational questions about our identity, vocation, and purpose.

  • Who am I?

  • Why am I here?

  • What am I supposed to do with my life?

Many of us try to answer those questions with personality assessments, skills inventories, and conversations with close friends and mentors. Those can be helpful starting points, but the biggest questions of life deserve an intentional, integrated process led by a skilled Guide.

You’re in a ripe season for a LifePlan if:

  • You're in a transition season

    One chapter is ending and another’s beginning. Maybe you’re excited or anxious about the changes, but either way, you’re feeling uncertain. When you try to think about the future, your head feels foggy and you can’t see very far out.

  • You need help filtering & focusing

    Life right now feels like looking at a Cheesecake Factory menu—you’ve got a lot of options, but how do you know what you’re supposed to say “yes” and “no” to? Where should you put your time, focus, and energy in this season?

  • You value personal growth & development

    You’re already self-aware and driven, but would love to better understand how your different talents, passions, experiences, and wiring mesh together so that you can live more intentionally into your sweet spot.

  • You don't know what's next & need fresh vision

    Maybe you’ve reached a point where you’ve accomplished everything you set out to. Now you’re starting to feel bored, maybe even stuck; like you’ve lost your spark and are just coasting. You’re itching to answer the question, “What’s next?”

  • You're burnt out, or close to it

    Your tank is running on fumes and something needs to change, fast. You realize what you’re doing isn’t working, but aren’t quite sure what to do to get things back on the right track. You feel like you’re struggling to just keep your head above water, but can’t keep treading much longer.

  • You're longing to go even deeper

    You feel a strong desire to go all-in on your God-given purpose. You want to figure out what it looks like to live life to the fullest in an integrated way, across all of the different areas of your life.

People Like You

  • “Cheyanne is a like a sherpa, she played a crucial role as my guide and partner. Cheyanne pauses when she discerns it’s a sacred moment, it was my burning bush and we were on holy ground. With 33 years of experience in corporate America, I have participated and facilitated numerous plans, and I found LifePlan unique in its strategies and execution. Now, both feet firmly planted in my calling, I am determined to finish well.”

    – ELAINNA T.

  • “I entered the LifePlan Process unsure of what to expect and emerged with tremendous clarity about my joys, my longings, and my story. With Cheyanne’s expert guidance, I was able to see the fingerprints of God throughout my past, develop a plan for my present, and foster joyful hope for my future.”

    – TYLER B.

  • “I highly recommend that everyone invest in a LifePlan at some point in their life. I came to Cheyanne feeling really stuck and discouraged on what I was called to do, and when I completed my two-day experience with her, I felt so validated and had so much clarity on what my unique calling is. This process has set me up for the next 10 years and I’ve never been more grateful.”

    – NINA B.

  • "Doing my LifePlan was exactly what I needed in this season! As a mom, I am entering a new season with my kids getting older and I find myself having more time again. I came in with so many questions and came out with so much clarity and vision. I highly recommend doing a LifePlan if you are making a lot of big decisions!"

    – JULIA S.

  • “I walked into my LifePlan not having the best sense of identity—who I am and whose I am—and walked away feeling refreshed, lighter, and “rewired” or, in better words, “was reminded of my wiring.” My LifePlan really helped answer why I personally exist, why I lean towards certain things, and why others feel rather abrasive in this season of life. I recommend a LifePlan to anyone who is in a season in which it is hard to connect who they are and what they do.

    – CAZIAH F.

  • “I struggled for years wondering what my true calling was, what mattered most to me, and how God wired me. LifePlan with Cheyanne changed everything. She helped me dig deep into root issues from my past, gain clarity in my current season, and create a plan that aligns with who I truly am. I walked away with answered questions, renewed vision, and a 12-year plan that fills me with peace and purpose. I thank God for Cheyanne and this life-changing experience!”

    – MACEY M.

  • "I was so blessed to do a LifePlan at my age—it felt like a critical time to do it and took me way beyond what I expected. My biggest takeaway was uncovering my life purpose statement because it really defined who I am, and what I am called to do. In my time with Cheyanne, I also learned what exactly my heart burns to do, and how to keep my energy replenished so that I won't burn out and can live a new life to the fullest body, soul, and spirit. I'd definitely recommend LifePlan to anyone and everyone!"

    – DANIEL M.

  • “Have you reached a point where you feel like you’ve accomplished everything you set out to and now are asking, "What's Next?" That was me and LifePlan was a wonderful launch pad into my next season of life! Afterwards, I felt empowered and ready to execute, but also felt like I better understood who God made me to be. Cheyanne’s calming spirit and hospitality make you feel comfortable and willing to share your story; the good, the bad, and the ugly. She truly has a gift in how she leads this Process. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for clarity in their God-given purpose.”

    – DENNISHA D.

  • “Going through my LifePlan was so helpful in processing my life where it has been so far and how that can help guide my future decisions. There were a lot of questions that I had going in about the future and through the two days Cheyanne spent the time to understand what makes me “me” and to personalize my plan to fit that!”

    – KEONA C.

  • "Doing a LifePlan with Cheyanne was life-changing. She is a gifted guide—helping bring clarity to my purpose. I walked away with a greater sense of how to fully show up in every aspect of my life. I learned more about how I am wired, why I am the way I am, where my strengths and weaknesses are, and how to move forward in every area with clear purpose and vision. I wish I could have all the people I love do a LifePlan with Cheyanne because of what a game-changer it was for me in my personal life, family, career, and community!"

    – RYANN A.

  • “Doing a LifePlan came at an extremely pivotal time for me. I had several friends and mentors recommend it and I’m so glad I decided to go through with it! It brought so much clarity and direction and it helped focus my calling and next steps. I’m so grateful for the LifePlan process!”

    – LUKE L.

  • “I had a great LifePlan experience with Cheyanne. She was thoughtful, caring and really helped me dig deep. She made me feel super comfortable and helped draw things out when I got stuck during an exercise. Cheyanne was a great listener and had the ability to identify key insights amidst everything shared. I walked away with great perspective and actionables and am super grateful for my time with this process.”

    – ANDREA W.

  • "Going through my LifePlan brought me incredible clarity. I left knowing who I am and what my purpose is. The best thing was creating a plan that is realistic and I can follow."

    – CLEO T.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If you’re married, yes absolutely. My husband sat in on mine and I on his, and it was powerful to have each other in the room. If you’re single, you can bring a close friend, but be selective on who you invite into your 2-day experience. We can chat through this together if you have questions on who to bring.

  • The LifePlan experience is an investment of time, effort, and resources, and is crafted to pay dividends throughout the rest of your life. I offer an individual LifePlan for $6,000, which be paid up-front or over time through a payment plan. Travel, lodging, and some meals are not accounted for in this investment.

    For couples who are interested in doing a LifePlan together, my approach is to have each spouse do their individual LifePlan (ideally with the other spouse in the room and conversation) and then spend an additional day together to bring together the full couples LifePlan. Normally valued at $12,000, I'm pleased to offer this option for couples at a discounted rate of $10,000.

    ***For those who are in full-time ministry – or are the spouse of someone in full-time ministry – I offer an automatic $500 discount on individual LifePlans and an additional $1,500 discount on a couples LifePlan package.

  • Yes! I recognize that this is a significant investment and am happy to partner with you to help make it work for your budget and timeline.

  • Because of the personal and interactive nature of the LifePlan Process, I prefer to facilitate my clients’ LifePlans in-person. This allows me to offer you a top-tier experience during your 2-day investment, and also gives you the opportunity to truly “step away” from the demands of normal life and be fully present to the Process.

    However, for clients who are unable to meet face-to-face in Nashville, I do offer virtual LifePlans, so long as the space you’re in is conducive to the Process. If you have constraints and are interested in doing a virtual LifePlan, please let me know in your contact form.

  • I live in Nashville, Tennessee and host LifePlan sessions here! If you’re coming in from out of town, I highly recommend extending your stay and enjoying everything our beautiful city has to offer. In fact, I’d be happy to share our list of personal favorite local spots to help make the most of your trip!

  • After a LifePlan session, you’ll leave with a comprehensive, robust decision-making framework that allows you to maximize your time, energy, and investment. Including a succinct and clear purpose statement, insight into and language around your specific work wiring, a repeatable exercise for evaluating the level of “fit” for different vocation opportunities, a roadmap of where you’re heading with immediate next steps to get you moving in the right direction, and a whole lot more.

    Additionally, you’ll receive everything that we accomplish during our two days in a digital playbook that is editable and shareable so that you can update it when you hit key milestones and can share it with your close people.

  • The unique approach of the Paterson LifePlan® Process is the attention we devote to getting perspective. All too often, the temptation is to move straight to planning.

    In the Paterson Process, which has been around for 40+ years, we spend about 70% of our time getting clear perspective across every area of your life – your backstory, your current reality, your talents, your heart, and your thinking; and across every domain of your life – personal, family, vocation, and community. Only when you have clear perspective do we move to planning.

    And I don’t just guide others; all of us Paterson LifePlan® Guides have gone through the Process ourselves and are living out our own LifePlan; I’m committed to only guiding others on a journey that I myself am on, too.

It’s time to get clear and live your life on-purpose.

Join the thousands of others who’ve journeyed through the LifePlan® Process and have discovered, owned, and begun living out their unique calling in life.
