Creating Your Career Compass

A 4-Week Program to Find Direction in Life and Career

6 min readMar 10, 2022

Hands up if you’re feeling lost on your career path right now.

Let’s be honest: sometimes the career journey can feel like a roller coaster ride.

There are the highs — like landing a new job or being promoted (because you’re awesome!) — and then there are the lows.

You can find yourself in a slump where you’re moving further and further away from what used to get you excited about your work. Or maybe you haven’t ever figured out what gets you excited in work.

Or you lose the drive you once had to move up in your career because your goals and values feel different now.

You thought you knew where you wanted to be…

…but now you’re second-guessing where you’re at.

And all the while, it feels like someone else is driving the ride, not you.

Let’s dig into this a little more…
When was the last time you really explored
where you want to be in your career?

This past year?

Pre-pandemic days?

Or maybe…never?

The idea of allowing yourself to take a step back and rethink your career path can be overwhelming, especially if you’ve never done it before.

There’s so much to figure out like…

…what skills you could bring to a career, whether you are just starting out or looking to make a change

…what areas of your life need to be the focus right now

…what you need to be doing differently to land your dream job — and what is your dream job?

It’s OK to not know where to start in doing this exploration work.

Trying to do this by yourself is no easy task, which is why many people stay stuck on a career path they don’t want to go down.

So let’s do it together.

Creating Your Career Compass

The Jump Start to Find Direction in Life and Career

If you’ve ever wanted to figure out what you’re really good at and passionate about so you can explore a more meaningful career path…

Creating Your Career Compass will help you set the foundation to get you on your way.

In this 4-week virtual coaching group, you’ll gain a deeper sense of clarity around what you want out of a career. And you’ll work with a career coach whose passion is to support you on this journey.

You’ll learn how to create a roadmap where your strengths guide you in building the life you want.

You’ll find new ways to frame the barriers and roadblocks that are keeping you from feeling passionate about your career…then find new solutions to break through them.

And you’ll do this work along with a small, supportive group of others who feel just like you.

This is your space to get curious about who you are and how you want to show up in your life, personally and professionally. A space where you can take a deep breath, be yourself, feel supported, and less alone.

Let’s get you where you want to be.

This 4-week program gives you the momentum you need to move closer to a career that’s aligned with your values and purpose.

Set Your Compass With Clarity

Week 1

Get Ready To Get Curious

This week is all about digging into who you are! You’ll start to build the foundation for a career path that is aligned with your values and purpose. You’ll do exercises that give you the space and time to reflect on what parts of your life need the most attention and how you want to contribute to this world

Week 2

Create The Roadmap For Your New Path

In Week Two, you’ll start to create a roadmap for your future. You’ll reflect on past lessons you’ve learned and pull out the strengths you’ve developed in the process. We’ll be life-mapping to develop a visual of your past adventures and then use writing exercise to help you envision a new future.

Week 3

Find The Power In Possibilities

Next, we’ll explore what skills energize you and which ones burn you out. You’ll dig into the skills you want to use in a job and those ones that are better to avoid. We’ll also brainstorm through mind mapping exercises so you can generate ideas for new possibilities in your career.

Week 4

Play With The Potential Before You

Let’s have some fun! This week we’ll play with a new plan in a creative exercise that has you drawing out several possibilities. Then we’ll wrap things up by creating goals and next steps as you move forward. You’ll leave the group with new insight, a few “aha moments”, and more clarity around your next steps.

This program uses the Designing Your Life Workbook by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. It’s an amazing tool to help you throughout your exploration from week to week. The workbook can be purchased separately on Amazon.

By the end of this program, you will have…

Clarity around your values and how they guide you in finding a career you want

Knowledge about the skills that energize you versus the ones that can cause you to burn out
Insight into the challenges and industries you want to be part of in the next step of your career
Ideas of how to do further research in your search for work in ways that are aligned with your passions
Next steps that will guide you in the months ahead

And most important, the confidence to bring your best to a career that fires you up…
every. single. day.
