CAREER COMPASS
GET STARTED
Get the online career course designed to help you build a powerful career compass to promote your career development. Understand who you are and what you want so you can pursue true career alignment.
“Where am I headed?” is a vital question when you feel stuck in your career. However, answering it is contingent upon first resolving: “Who am I?” and “What truly matters to me?”
Before we set our destination, we need to calibrate our compass. When we begin with “What are my options and which do I choose?” we focus on obvious paths forward for career development—and may miss a path that leads to thriving.
So, let’s start by naming what we want and need—this becomes our true north. With our compass in hand, we can decide on a career growth plan because we know which direction will provide the greatest alignment.
WORDS FROM FORMER CLIENT, JANELLE CARTER:
"I started Career Compass when I was at a crossroads. I had spent the past several years working in residential real estate after a career in education. While I had success in the role, it never felt fully aligned with my values or the kind of work that energizes me.
Career Compass helped me step back and think more intentionally about what actually matters to me in my work — the environments I thrive in, the kind of impact I want to have, and the conditions that allow me to do my best work. The process helped me approach my career assessment with more clarity about the kind of work and work culture that will allow me to do my best and most meaningful work."

INTRODUCING THE COURSE:
KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU WANT SO YOU CAN NAVIGATE YOUR CAREER WITH CONFIDENCE
PART I:
My Design
PART I: Who am I, inherently?
ENGAGEMENT

01
MOTIVATORS

PART II: What matters to me?
04
VALUES
Your career development plan should ensure that your professional path is aligned with your values. Together, we'll uncover your core values so you can show up at work knowing you aren't compromising on what's essential.
BECOMING
When we get clear about the kind of person we want to become, we can choose the environments and people that help us grow. With this clarity, you’ll learn how to figure out your career path—discovering roles and directions that align with who you’re becoming, and avoiding those that pull you off course.

SUCCESS
Each of us has an idea as to what success means, though we may not have taken an opportunity to examine how we define success, and if that definition suits us. Too often, we default to a definition we’ve inherited from our families, from our culture, or from society at large. In this module, you’ll define for yourself the way you want to measure success.
