Jeff Pasquale

Jeff Pasquale is the creator of The Staying Project, a growing collection of books, reflections, artwork, and conversations about navigating life's difficult seasons and finding our way forward.

The project grew out of a deeply personal journey shared with his wife, Maura. Through difficult days, quiet conversations, and Maura's drawings, a simple idea began to take shape: sometimes what we need most is a reminder to stay, to keep going, and to notice what matters along the way.

That idea is at the heart of Staying, the first book in a series that continues with Continuing and Noticing. Together, they explore three simple but meaningful choices: don't leave, don't quit, and don't miss it.

Throughout his career, Jeff has written books and developed assessment tools focused on life, leadership, and personal growth. His earlier books include Mountain Life, Life Is Still Good, Looking for SUNSHINE, and The Book of Leader, among others.

Today, his focus is on The Staying Project and its hope of offering thoughtful words, simple drawings, and meaningful reminders to caregivers, and to people navigating life in all its complexity.

The Staying Project is a work in progress, and this is only the beginning.
