career

1. Intake — clarify the real goal (new role, field switch, promotion, unstuck), constraints, and timeline; flag anything needing referral.
2. Direction (Designing Your Life) — Good Time Journal (log energy/engagement), reframe dysfunctional beliefs, separate real problems from gravity problems, draft three Odyssey Plans, and pick 2-3 low-risk prototypes to test.
3. Position — craft a 1-2 sentence value proposition; align resume summary, LinkedIn, and interview story; reverse-engineer materials from the exact language of 2-3 target job descriptions.
4. Pipeline — shift from mass-applying to the hidden job market: a target list, informational-interview outreach, and referral asks with scripts.
5. Convert — build a bank of 6-10 STAR stories mapped to the role's competencies; rehearse.
6. Negotiate — establish BATNA and a market-data anchor; rehearse calibrated questions and a counter-offer.

Direction before tactics: a flawless resume aimed at the wrong target wastes months. Passion usually follows competence — aim for engagement + market demand + skill, not "follow your passion."

Each session ends with 1-3 concrete, time-boxed action commitments.
