My Latest Work Slump - And How I Got Out Of It
In 2021, I thought my days as a business owner might be numbered. Careers for Social Impact was thriving, but I wasn't. I was in a work slump. Luckily I was able to work my way out of it, and today I want to share what that process looked like, what I learned, and how that impacts the...
Announcing Our 2024 Programs!
I'm still wrapping my mind around the fact that in 2024 we will celebrate our 10th year in business! As I reflect on all that I’ve learned in these 10 years of coaching so many folks through career change, there’s one thing that’s become really clear: designing a truly fulfilling and impactful career requires getting to know yourself on a deeper...
What I Learned From A Week On My Own
For the past week I've been on my own. My husband and kids went out of town, and I stayed behind to work and finish prepping for a trip we have coming up. The cat and dog are staying with family - so I was truly on my own, for the first time in over nine years. That’s right: for the first time in almost a decade I had a week with...

The Power of Rest

Over the past eight years we’ve supported over 4,000 people through our coaching...
2022 Update On Our Anti-Racism Commitments
One year ago I shared a post outlining our 2021 anti-racism commitments, and I’m writing today with an update on how we’re doing and what we’ll be focused on in the year ahead.

You Don't Need To Have It All Figured Out
Seven years ago this week, I stepped into the unknown and started my first independent consulting project. At the time, I thought I’d just be doing a few projects as I looked for my next full-time role; I had no idea that I was planting the seeds of what would become Careers for Social Impact and the next chapter of my career. Looking back, there were a few hints...
An Update on Our Commitment to Anti-Racism
As we recognize and honor Black History Month, I thought it was a good time to share an update on our commitment to anti-racism. I shared some initial thoughts on this over the summer, and today I want to share what we have been working on since then, and what we are committed to doing in the year ahead.
