The Career Clarity Initiative
Maybe your current career no longer fits. Perhaps your interests, priorities, or circumstances have changed. Or you've spent so much time meeting responsibilities and taking care of others that you've lost touch with what you want.
You don't need to have the answers before you begin.
The Career Clarity Initiative™ is a three-month personalized coaching experience designed to help you reconnect with who you are now, explore meaningful career possibilities, and develop the clarity and confidence to make thoughtful decisions about your next chapter.
Because finding your direction isn't simply about choosing another job. It's about understanding yourself and recognizing what fits the person and life you're building today.
Your Three-Month Journey
Month One: ME
Rediscover → Release → Reclaim
We begin with you not your resume, job postings, or external expectations. We explore your current values, strengths, interests, priorities, energy, and life requirements (income, schedule, flexibility, well-being).
Explore who you are today, what matters to you, what energizes you, and what you've outgrown.
Your outcome: Your Career & Life Compass, a personal guide for exploring possibilities and making decisions based on who you are today, what you want out of life and where you want to go.
Month Two: EXPLORE
Notice → Generate → Investigate → Test
We turn outward by following clues: what piques your curiosity, what environments engage you, and what strengths you enjoy using. You'll investigate real possibilities through research, informational interviews, job descriptions, or small experiments.
Your outcome: Your Career Possibility Map, a refined roadmap highlighting viable options, eliminated choices, and recurring patterns you've learned through exploration.
Month Three: CHOOSE
Compare → Discern → Choose → Move
We cross-reference your top possibilities against your Career & Life Compass, weighing tradeoffs, addressing doubts, and separating true misalignments from fear of the unknown. Your decision doesn't need to answer "What will I do for the rest of my life?" only "What deserves my next step?"
You don't have to decide what you'll do for the rest of your life. You need enough clarity to make a thoughtful next decision.
Your outcome: Your personalized Next Move Plan. An actionable strategy for your next move following our three months together.

What Clients Experience
“I couldn’t have asked for better support while navigating a career change. I had no idea where to go and felt completely unsure of my direction. Ligia helped me navigate an entire career pivot into a new direction I couldn’t have figured out on my own.
We identified work that felt true to me at my core, clarified my non-negotiables, and found a path that felt sustainable. Through her support, I decided to go back to grad school, and I got in.
I was lost for years, and now I finally feel like I’m on the right track toward meaningful work.”
—Jennifer S.
“Ligia’s coaching helped me get past career obstacles that had been holding me back. She asked thoughtful questions, helped me reframe how I think about my work, and pushed me to show up more confidently.
What I appreciated most was how she helped me get to the root of what was keeping me stuck. Her approach combines practical guidance with deep reflection.”
— Karen T.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I speak with you before enrolling?
Absolutely! I offer a complimentary consultation so we can discuss your situation, what you're hoping to accomplish, and whether the Career Clarity Initiative is the right fit for you.
2. Is the Career Clarity Initiative right for me?
This program may be a good fit if you:
- Feel stuck, uncertain, or torn between career possibilities.
- Know something needs to change but aren't sure what comes next.
- Want to better understand your strengths, interests, and priorities.
- Are considering a career change but don't know where to begin.
- Want a thoughtful, personalized approach to exploring your options.
You don't need to know what career you want before starting. That's part of what we'll work on together.
3. What if I already know what career direction I want to pursue?
If you already have a clear direction and need help preparing for your next professional move, the Love Your Mission Career Strategy and Growth Initiative™ may be a better fit.
That program focuses on developing a personalized strategy and taking action toward your professional goals.
We can discuss which program best supports your needs during your consultation.
4. Will you tell me which career I should pursue?
No, and there's a good reason for that.
My role isn't to choose your career for you. It's to help you better understand yourself, discover possibilities, investigate your options, and develop the confidence to make informed decisions.
You'll receive guidance, tools, and support throughout the process, but the decisions remain yours.
5. What if I don't figure out exactly what I want to do in three months?
Career clarity doesn't always mean identifying one specific job title.
You may discover a promising direction, narrow your possibilities, identify what no longer fits, or recognize what you need to investigate further.
The goal is meaningful progress toward clarity, along with a practical next-step plan and a decision-making process you can continue using.
6. How many coaching sessions are included, and how long are they?
The three-month program includes:
- One orientation session
- Six private coaching sessions, approximately twice monthly
Coaching sessions typically last 60–75 minutes and take place virtually through Zoom.
Your orientation session is separate and does not count toward your six coaching sessions.
7. How much time will I need to dedicate between sessions?
The Career Clarity Initiative is designed to be manageable alongside your existing responsibilities.
Between sessions, you'll have opportunities for reflection, exercises, and career research. Some activities will take more time than others, depending on what you're exploring.
We'll establish realistic next steps that work with your schedule while keeping you moving forward.
Your participation between sessions is an important part of the process.
8. What kind of support can I expect between sessions? Can I text you?
Yes! Text support is available during business hours for brief questions, clarification, and updates related to your coaching journey.
Text messaging is not intended to replace scheduled coaching sessions or provide additional coaching outside our appointments.
We'll review communication expectations during orientation.
9. Are coaching sessions in person or online? How do I schedule them?
All coaching sessions are conducted virtually through Zoom, so you can participate from wherever you are.
After enrolling, you'll receive instructions for scheduling your orientation and coaching appointments.
10. What if I need help with my resume, interviews, or job applications?
Those services are generally part of the Career Strategy and Growth Initiative™, which focuses on preparing for and pursuing your professional direction.
The Career Clarity Initiative focuses on discovering and evaluating that direction first.
If your needs change during our work together, we'll discuss the most appropriate next steps.
11. What if we accomplish my goals before the three months are over?
That's a wonderful opportunity to build on your progress!
We'll revisit what you've accomplished and determine how to make the best use of our remaining coaching time.
That might mean investigating a promising possibility more deeply, strengthening your decision-making skills, or developing a more detailed plan for your next steps.
12. Can I cancel or request a refund?
Your enrollment is subject to the terms outlined in your Client Coaching Agreement.
Under the current policy, cancellation requests must be made at least 48 hours before your first session or orientation. A $150 nonrefundable deposit is deducted from any applicable refund.
Once coaching begins, payments are nonrefundable, and any remaining scheduled payments are still due according to the agreement.
