“Engaging in this work together with Laura produced two different types of outcomes for me — one very tangible one is that I now have a list of several projects that excite and motivate me. Another outcome is less tangible, but equally valuable to me. I feel like I have a clearer picture of my entire career trajectory. Past work experiences don't seem like disparate points on a map anymore. I'm able to draw connections from my past experiences that will help lead me forward to new opportunities. I gained confidence throughout the process and perhaps the biggest gain for me is that I'm now excited about what's next!”
