You’re several years into your career and fairly certain you’re not on the right path. For some, the outward appearances suggest that you’re on track to be successful. But your inner truth tells you that your job is unfulfilling and you’re just going through the motions.

Perhaps you have dreams of breaking free and pursuing something totally different. Maybe you’re in the wrong industry or your role is just not aligned with your talents and skills. Or your job is asking for only a small fraction of the skills you are capable of delivering. In any case, positive change is what you want and need.

You may have thoughts like these:

“I’m not on the right career path and unhappy. I’m not sure how to be more fulfilled professionally.”

“The job I have is under-utilizing my educational degree and skills.”

“I chose a career path that is no longer working for me and I need to find a way out without disrupting my or my family’s lifestyle.”

How we can help

We’ll empower you to discover a new career path that maximizes your professional self and makes you happier. This starts with self-discovery, formulating a deliberate strategy, and taking skillful action.

Your Personalized Program

We’ll define your desired outcome from this career coaching program, discuss how we’ll work together and review what each of us will be accountable for. We’ll also prepare to send questionnaires to 6-8 contacts who know you.
Our perceptions of who we are, what we’re good at, what we want to create and what’s important to us can be confusing. Often, our perspectives on what is possible contain “blind spots.” These limit our professional development and ultimately our personal fulfillment. Moreover, our thoughts can lead us to focus too much on our limitations and not enough on what we’re good at and the abundance of possibilities. Sometimes we even “veto” our dream careers because we believe others won’t approve or we harbor deep feelings of self- doubt. Discovering what’s important to you, how you want to contribute and becoming more aware of the plethora of possibilities available to you are mandatory steps in finding a rewarding job and reaching the career path that you'll love. Any career development or job search plan that skips this essential phase runs the risk of leading to a “dead end.”
With a clearer idea of who you are and what’s important to you, you can now begin to explore the abundance of possibilities. In this phase, you will narrow down the career paths you may want to pursue. You’ll explore each through a filter of questions and evaluate their alignment with you. We’ll also discuss feedback from your Questionnaires you will have sent to 6-8 contacts. In the end, you will choose the top 2-3 career paths for you.
So far, your ideas of the ideal career path are theoretical. Now it’s time to interact with practitioners in the market and consider undertaking a real project you might be asked to perform. Based on this experience, you will decide on your target career path.
Now that you’ve decided on the career path you will love, it’s time to create your personal brand platform and ask yourself a few last-minute questions. This starts with developing a very precise and succinct skills statement and telling your unique story through a variety of digital assets.
