Case Study: Career Change Begins with Clarity, Not With Updating Your CV
Spring is in full swing, and you’ve got one eye on summer and fall. Not just because the seasons are changing, but because your next chapter is calling and this is the time to lay the foundation for what you want later.
Whether you're contemplating a career pivot, craving a healthier relationship with your work, or seeking clarity across your professional and personal life, now is the time to pause, reflect, and realign.
I often hear from prospective clients:
“I know I need help, but I really should just focus on the practical stuff like my CV, job search, interview prep. I’ll work on myself later.”
I understand this impulse. And, please remember that the practical and the personal are not opposites. They’re intertwined. Your clarity, your confidence, your ability to make empowered moves—they all begin with you.
If you're longing for lasting change, you have to do more than polish your résumé or CV as you prepare to apply for jobs. It takes regenerative resilience — the kind that starts from within and shapes every action you take. That’s why I call it embodied action. Otherwise, you risk operating in reactive mode rather than taking those proactive, intentional choices.
This is the foundation of our work together. I help you connect the inner work – values, somatic awareness, career grief, identity shifts – with the tangible tools like CVs, proposals, job strategies, and big decisions. The result? Embodied action that moves you toward your goals with great connection to who you are at your core.
Take this recent new client conversation.
When she came to me, she was overwhelmed because funding had just been eliminated. She was navigating a chaotic return to work, holding ambiguity, and unsure if she should stay or go, not even sure if the job would be there or not. Like many clients, she thought we’d start with her CV.
After combining both my understanding of the challenges from our intake call with my read of her CV and LinkedIn, instead of diving straight into edits, I asked: “What kind of legacy do you want to leave through your work? What actually lights you up?”
Together, we unpacked the full story behind her experience, identified her true skill sets, and clarified her deeper values. We held space for her to dream bigger: launching a social impact consultancy, using her research and fieldwork experience to help NGOs quantify their value in ways that resonate with funders. The CV revision became more than formatting. Suddenly, the work on her CV became a mirror of her clarity and a roadmap for what’s next.
That’s the kind of work we do together. Not just resume updates. Not just reflection.
We align both your practical tools and your deeper vision to create a career shift that feels purposeful, grounded, and yours. The work we do together shapes intentional, empowered next steps.
