Career Kickoff
A clear starting point for career direction
When you feel stuck, unsure, or quietly panicking about what’s next, you don’t need more advice.
You need a starting point.
Career Kickoff is the foundational work I do with teens and young adults to help you understand who you are, what matters to you, and what kind of career actually fits. This is where we slow things down just enough to get you moving in the right direction.
No pressure. No forcing decisions. Real forward motion.
Career Kickoff is a fit if you are:
In High School
In College
A 20-Something
In high school, and have no idea what direction makes sense
In college, and questioning your major
Recently graduated and can’t land your first job
In your first job and already know, “this isn’t it”
Motivated but overwhelmed by too many options
Struggling to explain what you want or avoiding the conversation altogether
Different ages. Same problem: you need clarity before the next move.
What happens in Career Kickoff?
Three one-hour coaching sessions. One clear process.
Session 1: Getting to Know the Real Person
This is not surface-level career talk. I ask a lot of questions, and I listen closely.
We dig into:
What you naturally gravitate toward
What you enjoy when no one is grading or judging you
Where you feel engaged, capable, and confident
This session sets the tone and the direction.
Session 2: CliftonStrengths Consultation
You complete the CliftonStrengths assessment, and I show you what the results mean in real-life careers
You begin to see:
How you’re wired
Why certain environments feel better than others
Where your confidence actually comes from
Why you will like the activities in specific roles
For many clients, this is the moment things click.
Session 3: Career Priorities & Direction
We expand the career options first, and then narrow the focus to a couple of career areas.
We look at:
Work environments that fit
Role characteristics that matter
Career directions worth exploring next
This is not about locking in a forever answer.
It’s about making smarter choices with confidence and leaving room for adjustments.
What parents notice:
By the end of Career Kickoff, parents often tell me:
Conversations are easier
Their child is more engaged and confident
The panic has eased
There’s finally a sense of direction
And most importantly, there’s momentum.
A quick reality check:
Career Kickoff focuses on career direction, not execution.
College list building comes later if needed
Job search and resumes are part of a different package
There is no forced career decision
What you get is a foundation strong enough to support whatever comes next

I gained confidence, clarity and direction. What started as a series of un-nameable desires and vague interests has become a clear path forward and a clear end goal.

A lot has changed for me. After taking the assessments I was able to see how I worked and it really helped me understand what would be a good career fit for me (and what would not be so great).
