Career Change Readiness Scorecard
Traditional Career Planning often assumes a linear path where you know exactly where you want to go. But when the destination isn’t clear, and you’re in a process of discovering your most authentic self, analysis can feel overwhelming and be part of what’s keeping you stuck.
That’s why I developed the Career Wayfinding Framework, to get you into motion by developing the following capacities to:
- Clarify your Direction, even if you don’t know the destination
- Release Inertia, your fears and limits to moving forward
- Develop a way to Navigate, by trusting your compass, to stay on your path for yourself
- Take the next Action, instead wasting all your energy obsessing about the final destination
This coaching approach helps you move—from wherever you are—making one assured step after another towards the work you’re here to do.
