What’s your career vision?

A few weeks ago I was wrapping up the 2025 cohort of my Career Command Four-Month Shift program. It's hard to believe it's already that time of year!

We were discussing feedback on the program and ways I could continue to improve it. Being someone who likes to jump into action quickly, I threw out to the group, "What if I make the program shorter?"

And I heard a unanimous, "NOOOOO!"

The time and space to pause and reflect, to investigate and discuss, to imagine and explore – this was what they needed most. Many of them said they wanted even more of it.

Now, I know not everyone can take months to reflect and experiment. If you're in a toxic workplace that's harming your mental health, or you're unemployed and need income immediately, you'll need to focus on tactical job search strategies right away. Even then, some career visioning will help guide your search – but the timeline is different.

Yet for those of you who are…

• In roles you mostly like but you’re getting that nudge for a change.

• In an industry that is shifting, but you’re not sure when you should make the move.

• On a career break and want to return to paid work at your own pace.

I’m excited to say, I have something new for you. 

Did I mention I like to get into action quickly? May my action support your time to pause and dream. 

Introducing…

Career Clarity Sessions

This virtual group program brings together 6-8 women ready to gain career clarity and assess their readiness for change.

We will meet for 60-minute sessions on Tuesdays at 12pm ET: July 8, 15, 22, and 29

You will walk away from the 4 week program with a clear understanding of:

• What's currently working for you and what’s not in your career

• Your level of readiness and a timeframe to make a shift

• The thoughts holding you back from making the change and tools to navigate them

• A vision for a content, full and balanced-ish life

• A plan to connect with your people so they can help you step into that life

In addition to the live group sessions, I’ve also created  30 days of journal prompts to deepen your discovery of your career desires and what’s holding you back from going after them. 

The cost of the program is $575 or two payments of $300. This is an excellent value and one of the lowest priced options available to work with me right now.

Career Change Tools for Life

Some of my favorite emails I receive are from former clients who share:

“I was reviewing my notes from the work we did three years ago and  I smiled realizing again that my role now is everything I said I wanted (but wasn’t sure I could have) back then.”

Or

“I got a new role that’s a great fit (yes, through networking!) and I used all of the tools you taught me in my last search for this latest change. They remain so important to me!”

That’s the goal. You internalize the tools. I work myself out of a job. 

Some may say that’s not the best business strategy, but I haven’t found that to be true. 

This way, I get to help more people. 

And the people I help, build self-trust and faith in their own ability to move confidently into any career shift. They have a step-by-step process in their back pocket–and practice experimenting in the midst of uncertainty. 

Oftentimes this agency in their careers translates to advocating for themselves in romantic partnerships, to setting different boundaries in friendships, to making time for a creative project–just because it’s energizing and not because it has side-hustle potential. 

Be warned–the side effect of defining your terms and unapologetically negotiating for them in your career, is that you will believe you are worthy of those terms in all areas of your life. 

I don’t promise those results on our initial call, but I’m so grateful when I get the updates on the ripple effect, months or years after we’ve completed our work. 

Here for you when you’re ready to find your agency in your career–and in your life

Some Side-Hustle Ideas to Help You With All That Money Anxiety

I had so much fun contributing to this article and full transparency was brimming with ideas about the potential of having more than one revenue stream in these unstable times.  

Avoid this job searching mistake

With the mass layoffs in certain sectors right now, many of my clients and job seekers in my workshops are making bigger shifts than they have at other times in their careers.

Their resumes and their LinkedIn profiles are focused in one sector with progressing titles within that industry.

Yet – they’re looking at job postings for new opportunities within another sector. They’re connecting the dots in their heads, so they’re assuming when they apply (often cold without a contact) others also will.

Sorry, but they won’t.

Applying to job postings on LinkedIn without a contact is ineffective when you’re applying within the same industry you’ve worked in for the last 5+ years.

It’s even worse, dare I say, a total waste of time when you’re applying in a new industry.

Please stop doing that if that’s how you’ve been spending your unemployed days.

So, what should you do instead?

Talk to people and ask for help.

This is the way successful career shifters make it happen.

Get your story down. Build the bridge from your strengths to the role you want.

Set a goal or and ask for the conversation.

Do it again and again.

You will get better and sharper and more dynamic in how you tell your story.

And people want to help you.

Even if you haven’t spoken to them in ten years. Even if you never met them, but they went to the same college or worked at the same company or grew up in the same town.

The biggest job searching mistake people make is keeping the search to themselves. A shameful little secret they don’t want to burden others with.

Another way to see your search is as - a problem or puzzle to solve. An adventure where you can learn something new.

Which way sounds more fun to bring into conversations?

If you’re struggling with how to have these conversations, check out my Elevator Pitch Mini Course. At its core, it gives you the language to go out and start connecting with people…today.

So, get talking and asking – and I’ll be here when you need support.
