Enter your name and email to unlock your personalized result and get an insider preview of what’s possible for your next chapter.
Pioneer: You’re Poised for a Meaningful Pivot.
You’ve done the inner work: you’ve let go of old stories, gained insight, and know that change isn’t just a desire, it’s a necessity. You may still face some challenges, but you’re no longer held back by them.
This is your green light. Now it’s time to translate all your self-awareness into momentum. A new chapter is calling, and you’re ready to answer.
Next Step:
🚀 Join the 8-week “Gently Change Career Course” to create your next chapter with clarity and courage.
Pathfinder: You’re in the Middle of the Shift.
You’ve already begun letting go of old roles, definitions, or patterns. You’re not clinging to the past, but the future isn’t fully clear yet either. You’re in what we call “the fertile unknown.”
There’s insight, curiosity, and glimpses of what might come next. Now is the time to stay open, reflect more intentionally, and begin experimenting with possible directions. The key is: you don’t have to figure it all out at once.
Next Step:
🧭 Start the 4-week “Career Pivot Tracker” to test your direction with real-life prompts.
Explorer: You're Not Stuck—You're Just at the Start.
You’re beginning to notice subtle (or not so subtle) signs that something in your current path no longer fits. That discomfort, confusion, or restlessness is not a flaw. It’s a signal. You may not have a clear vision yet, and that’s perfectly okay.
What matters now is giving yourself permission to explore. You don’t need to leap—you just need to listen more deeply. Small steps, gentle shifts, quiet clarity. That’s where it begins.
Next Step:
💡 Try the “Values Check-In” to reconnect with what matters most to you.
