The moves that actually move a career — minus the clichés. Get unstuck on direction, turn duties into a résumé and LinkedIn that get noticed, build a story bank that wins interviews, negotiate your offer like it's expected (because it is), and grow a network without the ick. Practical, research-backed, and ready to use.

Navigating Your Career

For someone unclear on their next move. Copy it and share that copy with a client at a crossroads to work through on their own, then explore it together in session.

You know something needs to change, but when you try to figure out what, you just spin — more pro/con lists, more journaling, no more clarity. Here's why: clarity doesn't come from thinking harder. It comes from two things most career advice skips — your own energy data, and small real-world experiments. This module helps you diagnose which kind of "stuck" you're actually in (they're not all the same), punctures the "follow your passion" myth that keeps people waiting for a lightning bolt that never comes, and walks you through an energy audit and a set of three "possible lives" — ending not in another insight, but in one concrete experiment you can run this month. You can't think your way to a new direction. You build it.

What's Next? Getting Clear on Your Career Direction

Builds a résumé and LinkedIn that get noticed. Copy it and share that copy with a client navigating a job search to work through at their own pace.

A recruiter will spend about six seconds on the first pass of your résumé — and most people write as if someone will read every careful word. Worse, most résumés list duties ("responsible for managing...") instead of proving what actually changed because you were there. This module fixes both. You'll watch flat, duty-based bullets get rewritten into sharp, quantified accomplishments (and learn the simple formula behind it), pick up the trick for quantifying even a "no numbers" job, learn how to get past the ATS bots that reject most résumés before a human sees them, and turn your LinkedIn headline and About section into real estate that brings recruiters to you. You're not bragging — you're translating your work into proof.

Tell Your Story: A Résumé and LinkedIn That Get Noticed

Builds a bank of interview stories. Copy it and share that copy with a client preparing to interview — they draft their STAR stories right inside it.

"Tell me about a time you…" — and your mind goes blank. That blank isn't a confidence problem; it's a storage problem. The best interviewers aren't improvising brilliant answers on the spot — they're retrieving from a small bank of stories they built and polished in advance. This module teaches the STAR structure the way it actually works (most people drown the answer in backstory and forget the part that matters — the result), then helps you build a bank of six to eight flexible stories, each tagged to several competencies, so almost any behavioral question maps to a story you're ready to tell. You'll draft one live, learn the "Learnings" upgrade that wins over senior interviewers, and practice for flexibility instead of memorizing a script that sounds robotic.

Ace the Behavioral Interview: Build a STAR Story Bank

On negotiating salary without dread. Copy it and share that copy with a client heading into an offer or raise conversation — they even draft their counter inside it.

When the offer finally comes, the urge is overwhelming: say "thank you, yes!" before they change their mind. That reflex is the single most expensive habit in most careers — research puts the lifetime cost of not negotiating at over a million dollars, because a few thousand dollars in year one compounds through every future raise and offer. The good news: negotiating is expected (most employers anticipate a counter and almost none rescind over a polite one), and it's a learnable, scriptable process. This module walks you through it end to end — researching and setting your number, dodging the "what are your salary expectations?" trap, anchoring with a precise figure, delivering a collaborative counteroffer across the whole package, and holding your ground when they push back. You'll draft your own counter and get it evaluated.

Know Your Worth: How to Negotiate Your Salary

Reframes networking for people who hate it. Copy it and share that copy with a client to work through and draft their first outreach message.

If "networking" makes you a little queasy — the small talk, the sense of using people to get something — you're not weak-willed, and you're not alone. Research shows that networking-to-get genuinely triggers a feeling of moral discomfort; it can make people feel literally dirty. The fix isn't to white-knuckle through it. It's to flip the whole thing around. This module reframes networking from "what can I get?" to "how can I help?" — the shift that dissolves the ick and, it turns out, works far better — then hands you the two moves that actually generate opportunity: reconnecting with the people you've drifted away from (your most underused asset), and the low-pressure informational interview. You'll leave with a draft message ready to send. The surprising truth underneath it all: you already have far more network than you think.
