You’ve built a career. Now you’re wondering what to do next.

You could get another version of your current job, but you’re not sure you want one.

You have experience and options, which somehow makes choosing harder, not easier.

You’re not looking for more options.

You’re trying to figure out what you actually want.

Client testimonial

“I brought to my coaching session with Ingo a fog of ideas about possible next steps in my career, and left with clarity on why these ideas appealed to me, and a focused plan for investigating and pursuing these interests.”
Duncan HarlleyManaging Partner & CEO · ThirdWay Capital

Method

Direction first. Strategy second.

When you don’t know what you want next, where you start matters.

Start with what’s out there

The conventional
job-search approach

  1. What jobs are out there?
  2. Where do I fit given what I have done?
  3. How do I position myself?

Result

A role that fits your existing experience.

Start with you

The Career Direction
approach

  1. Who am I now?
  2. What work do I want to do?
  3. Where do I want to contribute?
  4. What roles and opportunities fit that direction?

Result

A career direction and roles based on who you are now and who you want to become.

Your experience still matters.
Use it as a foundation, not a limit.

Starting with you can reveal opportunities beyond your previous role or industry, based on who you are now and what you bring to the table.

FAQ

Questions?

This is designed for experienced professionals who know they want something different but aren’t clear what that should be.If you already know exactly which role you want and primarily need help with your résumé, networking, or interviews, this probably isn’t the right fit.
That’s exactly what the process is designed for. You don’t need to arrive with possible careers in mind. We start with you and work outward.
That’s useful. We’ll look at what matters to you, identify the patterns, and use them to evaluate and narrow your options.
The Intensive is designed to go deep quickly. You’ll complete reflective preparation beforehand so we can use our 90 minutes to connect the patterns, challenge assumptions, and translate what we uncover into a direction and concrete roles.
Complete the preparation and attend your Career Direction Intensive. If you don’t leave with a clear career direction worth exploring, I’ll refund your session.
