have you lost your way in your career?
-
Not loving the view from the summit of professional success?
-
Sick of the personal price you’re paying to stay on top?
-
Not sure what else you'd do?
-
Afraid of both staying and leaving?
I get it. I’ve been there.
Night after night, the same questions.
“Who am I without this role?”
“What else would I do?”
“Where will I find the strength?”
You're stuck thinking in circles. Every option seems bad.
It might feel like you’re at a career crossroads.
You’re actually at an identity crossroads.
Something has reordered your priorities. It’s changed you.
“Who am I now?” is the first question I ask.
The answer helps you see what’s next, build the confidence to
do what’s right for you, and the conviction to bet on yourself.
That’s where the Wayfinding Program begins.
The Wayfinding Program
The first step towards the change you want to make.
-
Focus on the now, not dissecting the past.
-
Identify what’s strong instead of what’s wrong.
Shift towards possibility. -
Discover who you are today and what you need tomorrow.
Find clarity and courage in eight weeks.
The program blends curated exercises with intimate discussion and can happen weekly or biweekly, giving you flexibility and structure. The timeline matches your urgency to act.
Phase 1: Guided Reflection
This phase is all about self-discovery. You’ll spend the first four sessions capturing what matters most in your career and life, and identifying what you will and won't accept going forward. You'll create a clear picture of your current self, including your deepest strengths, essential priorities and the unique value you bring to your work.
Phase 2: Guided Exploration
Now we move to options. You'll spend the last four sessions applying what you discovered about what you want out of life to generate real, achievable options for new career directions. You’ll explore multiple career possibilities, critically examining each one to find the best fit for your life. And you’ll mentally, emotionally and practically prepare to make the change.
Meet Lauren
I spent a decade in executive search, where I got very good at answering other people's strategic and tactical career questions. By all accounts, I was successful but didn't feel that way. I was exhausted. I was stressed. I was afraid of staying in the same role for the next 30 years. And
paradoxically, I was afraid of doing something else.
Then my father died just shy of 60. It planted questions in me that changed everything: Was I living life fully? Was I living for what mattered most?
The breakthrough came when I realized I didn't need to start over. I needed to understand who I’d become. Since then, I've guided 150+ professionals through the Wayfinding Program to help them discover who they’d become and what to do next.
In My Clients' Words
"Lauren helped clarify what was important to me. She helped provide an
actual method to think about these issues — to quantify and objectively
evaluate different ideas."— Neal Winokur, sold his accounting firm
"By the time I found Lauren, I was cresting in the middle of my career,
burnt out after nearly seven years in politics. I knew how to run, but not
how to pause. She met me exactly where I was — exhausted and
disoriented"— Bud Sambisivan
"What started as a career transition discussion quickly morphed into
building a sustainable and joyful life. Lauren helped me get clear on what
I love about my work" — Justine Janssen
"I was in the process of putting my identity back together, and she was
like a mirror, reflecting back to me all the good parts of myself that I
couldn't see anymore." — AJ Tibando
"Talking with Lauren has given me more clarity and direction in just a few
months than I've had on my own trying to figure this out over 10 years."
— Jennette Vasiljevic
"I was stuck in “thought paralysis” before our work together. I learned that with clarity and a bit of reassurance, you can make a change that helps you find joy in your job. The career doesn’t have to be something you just do - you can love it too if you work on the conditions that make you happy." — Stewart McKendry
