Career Wayfinder: Discovering your career through delightfully practical projects

When we find ourselves in a new place or are feeling lost, we look for directional signs, recognizable landmarks and more to help us find our way. This is wayfinding.

Using the Hope-Action Theory as a foundation, this workbook delves into concepts like liminal space, mapping, metaphors, and more. With the easy-to-apply Career Wheel as an organizing structure, you'll work through exercises that help you reflect on and clarify your skills, interests, values, style, experiences, significant others, and opportunities. You'll explore your options, create an achievable plan, put goals into action, and build forward momentum in your career.
