Complete Version: 6 Sessions

Pre-Work: Take Personality & Strengths Assessment

Tools: Client will complete a personality/strengths assessment (PrinciplesYou, VIA Strengths or other as agreed) prior to Session 1.

Sessions 1 & 2: Clarity Starts Within – Personality & Strengths Assessment

Focus: Understand the Client’s natural strengths, values and motivations.

Activities:

• Debrief assessment results. This requires 2 Sessions in order to deep dive into various aspects of the Assessment and to fully understand the Client’s strengths.

Focus: Explore potential career paths aligned with strengths, interests and lifestyle priorities.

Activities:

• Map out 3–5 potential career paths (roles, industries or changes like entrepreneurship or sabbaticals).

Outcome: Client creates a shortlist of potential directions with pros/cons for each.

Session 4: Choosing Your Path – Decision Making & Direction Setting

Focus: Narrow down and decide on a target career direction.

• Use the Career Compass Tool to examine each option against the Strengths, Values, Joys, Fears and Blockers of the Client.
