Another Sunday night. Another pit in your stomach.
If you knew how many Sundays you had left,
would you stop daydreaming and start living for the dream?
You grew up thinking you would make a difference in this world.
Instead, you work in someone else's.
You were going to use your talents and passions in service of others.
Now you're just a pawn for the service of others.
You were conditioned to negotiate away your power
in the name of success, only to be left with a constant rumble inside you asking,
is this all there is?
INTRODUCING
The Empowerment Method™
How to Transform Your Time, Align Your Life, and Build Your Legacy
This is for the mid-career professional who is ready to
tap out of the rat race, get off the hamster wheel, and redirect their talents and passions toward making a difference in people’s lives.
Who would you be if it weren't for everyone else's expectations?
If there's one thing I know, it's that no job and no employer are ever going to fulfill your life.
You’re done with dreaming about feeling fulfilled by your goals, only to wake up bogged down by petty company culture and minutia. Working is a part of life, it's not meant to become your life. The truth is, you are SO MUCH MORE than titles, paychecks, and statuses. Your 9-5 shouldn't rob you of your 24/7 self.
But stepping into your personal power might feel really scary, or be so nebulous it's hard to fathom who you would be if professional validation was of no consequence.
That's what THE EMPOWERMENT METHOD™ is here to help you do.
Together, in your personalized 1:1 life crafting experience, we map out and execute the exact strategies for leveraging your talents, passions, and purpose across all facets of your life; so that you are in the driver's seat of your legacy, rather than playing submissive to the mercy of your inbox.
The Empowerment Method helped me to really sit with myself and learn about assessing what is working for me and what is not. I was able to really breakdown the things in my daily lifestyle, thought processes, and personal beliefs. It gave me new insight on how to not only build routine but also how to follow through with it, which I often struggle with. While going through the program, I also was able to dive deeper into my own personal values and truly reflect on the ‘how and why’ I was living my life. I applaud the program and would recommend it to anyone who needs personal insight or reflection to grow.

You make lists and plans and master execution like a boss at work, but when it comes to your future...
-
you're lucky if you can get a grocery list together because somebody else always needs something more than you do.
-
you know that some day you'll get to retire and isn't that when everyone says you're 'supposed' to live your best life?
-
people have it a lot worse than you do, so you tell yourself 'it's not that bad'.
-
you wonder if you just aren't trying hard enough or if everyone else knows something that you don't about this professional dystopia?
Oh Friend, I have so been there.
REAL TALK: It's not a question of whether you have
the POWER to change your life.
It's whether you're ready to step into it.
George Bernard Shaw once said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want.
And if they cannot find them, they make them."
As an Applied Organizational Psychologist specialized in managing change, I personally and professionally understand the culture and change dynamics you are struggling with in the workforce. And while I'm ALSO certified in Change Management and Project Management by the Gold Standard institutions, the difference is
I've studied it. I've implemented it. I've LIVED it. And having successfully navigated ALL OF IT,
I'm here to work with you using THE EMPOWERMENT METHOD™
to create those better circumstances for yourself.

Here's How It Works
THE EMPOWERMENT METHOD™ is NOT your typical life or lifestyle coaching-- instead, we pair a self-paced curriculum WITH weekly 1:1 mentorship via in-person or online coaching. It's the industry-leading psychology-based mentorship program for mid-career professionals who want more out of life than what their career has to offer.
Together over 6 months, we build a highly personalized change management plan tailored to your specific life balance and transformation goals. We get you refocused on how to make the work you do meaningful as PART OF the multi-faceted individual you are and in proportion to the context of your WHOLE life. In 6 months, you will have developed not only the skills necessary to effectively execute your long-term planning, but you will have the self-efficacy and confidence to adjust and pivot to accommodate whatever unforeseen circumstances life throws at you along the way.
Just fill out a short application, and if you’re accepted, we’ll reach out to confirm it’s a perfect fit, go over investment options, and answer any questions you might have!

You'll have all the tools you need to
If you're like me and you want ALL the nitty-gritty details...
MODULE 01 - IDENTITY ORIGINS Our first session is a deep dive into who has influenced your life in positive ways, looking for patterns across those influences, and distilling down their behaviors to establish what you value and what those values look like in practice.
MODULE 02 - HOW VALUES ARE FORMED Together, we will discuss how the values you see and admire in other people apply to your own life in your behaviors and actions. We will explore how you show up in your multiple facets based on the types of environments and relationships you cultivate with yourself, friends, family, and community. We then create a shared understanding of what your values look like in action.
MODULE 03 - HOW IDENTITY DEVELOPS We cross-reference how your core values show up in your use of time and priorities and how you build connections with others. We are looking to uncover what your priorities are, how they are distributed across your facets of identity, and whether those priorities further your sense of belonging or your sense of fitting in. We will discuss how your distribution may be impacting you energetically. Finally, we'll talk about how you are not meant to belong everywhere and how fitting in can be reframed & tempered to be a help rather than a hindrance.
MODULE 04 - SELF-PERCEPTION You will evaluate what you've learned so far about yourself and cross-reference this with your strengths and interests to narrow your focus on what your vision for the future needs to include for you to feel like you are living the legacy you are building.
MODULE 05 - KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT We will finalize your gap analysis, which tells us the difference between your current state of life and the "ideal life" you envision for yourself in the future. This helps us to pinpoint exactly where your focus needs to be on creating a personal change, which will act as an anchor for your goal setting and planning in the upcoming modules.
MODULE 06 - STANDING IN YOUR PASSION, POWER, & PURPOSE We will refine your vision by aligning it to your personal blueprint so you can see how you already have everything that you need to bring your vision to life. We will review what you see as the change that you need to prepare yourself to make (e.g., mental, physical, emotional, logistical, etc.) to reach this next level of self and life.
MODULE 07 - WHAT PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION TAKES
MODULE 08 - THE STRESS IMPAIRMENT
MODULE 09 - ENVISIONING OUTCOMES
MODULE 10 - SETTING INTERMEDIATE OBJECTIVES
MODULE 11 - ROADMAPPING
MODULE 12 - LEARNING GOAL MANAGEMENT & PIVOTING STRATEGIES
Every LEGACY starts with
the Hero setting out on The Journey.
The Hero is YOU.
The first person the Hero meets on
The Journey is The Guide.
THAT’S ME!
Together, we establish a plan.
We fight the battles.
We discover your greatest version of YOURSELF.
When you arrive at your destination,
you will have the empowering life
you were once dreaming for.
What MORE Clients Have To Say
If you are looking for a way to unravel the ideas you have concerning a business and need someone to help you create a working model of what your functioning business would look like, I highly recommend you reaching out to Slow Living Solutions. Working with Scotti gave me the boost I needed to to get my dream of a game store out of my head and into the world. Scotti helped me map out the landscape of my business from the mission and vision, to understanding my customers, to seeing what I was bringing to the table in relation to my competitors already in the market. Being able to see all the work we had accomplished in a cohesive process helped me keep my momentum. - Kanise
Prior to meeting and working with Scotti, I really didn't feel like I had a solid direction of where I was taking my business. So when I would speak to people, I didn't really know what to say to them, because I didn't have a clear mission and direction. So, now meeting with Scotti, I have all of those things and I can step forward in full confidence and clarity of mind as I approach people with my business. - Melissa
When I began my work with Scotti and Slow Living Solutions, I merely thought I was getting the tools I needed to get started with my business. I had no idea how incredibly helpful it would be right from the beginning! I am excited to continue to work with this individual and her company as I am already elevating, what I will be able to deliver with my business. I cannot recommend Scotti and Slow Living Solutions enough! - Loring
Scotti's program was incredibly beneficial. It helped me align with my inner self and prioritize effectively, allowing me to achieve my goals more efficiently and focus on what truly mattered to me. This alignment enabled me to spare more time and make room for the things that are most important in my life. - Kerri
Scotti is an amazing professional woman! She was able to make me see things that before I was unable to see. I’m so glad I met her. - Paul
It's about stepping into your self-efficacy
and no longer giving away your power.
So, you're wondering, how is
THE EMPOWERMENT METHOD™ so effective?
We take THE PAUSE --
At an early childhood age, we understand what the socially awarded milestones are in life and spend decades steamrolling our way to and through each one with the promise of a magic rainbow and a pot of gold at the end. But somehow with every box checked, we keep yearning for the next one without fulfillment from the last.
We figure out how you like your eggs --
We can't make a change to our lives in a meaningful way if we don't have a solid foundation established about who we holistically are. Before the social conditioning... before the childhood trauma... before all the fear of failure... we reimagine life with a clean slate.
When we have a baseline established, now we a point of comparison between your Current life and your Future vision to pinpoint your strategic focus for change.
We apply pragmatism --
Manifesting is not wishing things into existence. It's building habits, routines, and systems that culminate in the outcomes we are working towards. This means establishing a plan that provides direction for your new behaviors.
We build resilience --
Reality check: not much in life goes according to plan. But who you are and what you are capable of is not a testament to the plan. Your ability to pivot and adapt to changing circumstances is what sets you apart from the pack --- and you have the support here for doing that.
Which is why past EMPOWERMENT clients have succeeded at:
-
turning their 9-5 into their "day job" with energy refocused on greater ambitions that expands their creativity
-
crafting their jobs so that they deliver value based on their skills and passions so they feel the difference they make
-
practicing discipline by aligning daily habits, routines, and systems to their values that gives them the confidence that they can do anything they set their mind to
-
building community connection that supports them reciprocally re-energizes their introvert and extrovert tendencies
-
creating a genuine sense of personal direction by identifying their authentic mix of skills and interests for the structure to manage uncertainty
-
pivoting their time and priorities to focus on nurturing themselves as a whole, multi-faceted person for lower stress and anxiety by putting them in the driver's seat of their own lives

Meet Your Guide.
Slow Living Solutions Founder, Scotti Quam helps people to cultivate personal strategies of resiliency, innovation, personal growth, and interpersonal connection by turning their most finite tool [Time] into an organizational weapon for well-being.
After two decades of living in America's biggest metropolises, being a leader for Fortune 500 companies, and finding success as an athlete and artist, Scotti's own journey came to a grinding halt as burnout, loneliness, and loss of purpose set in. Scotti lost her father to pancreatic cancer in 2022, after his 30+ year career as an EMT and Lieutenant for Wisconsin’s Milwaukee Fire Department. In search of a more purpose-driven life, Scotti dropped her corporate-driven, metropolis grind for a slower life in the Shenandoah Valley.
Slow Living taught her to focus on processes rather than outcomes; build structure to unlock freedom; and to apply effort in proportion to purpose.
Having promised her father that the greatest way to honor him would be to live with honor, she now dedicates her organizational psychology and change management practice to helping individuals craft their lives for better fulfillment and greater well-being. She now manages Slow Living Solutions from a little blue farmhouse in the Shenandoah Valley; modeling for her clients how to cultivate the courage to live the life that they want.
Scotti holds a Masters of Science (MS) in Learning and Organizational Change from Northwestern University, is a Certified Change Management Professional (CCMP), a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP), and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Film from Syracuse University.

You would prefer to go it alone than have the support and guidance in creating and managing your change of direction
