What We Cover in Compass Within

Career Transition Coaching

Your career matters, but it’s not the whole story. When people let work become their entire identity, they become resentful and burned out.

Compass Within helps you see work in the bigger context of your life:

Your Strengths, your values, your energy, and the people that matter most.

Let's build a career that fits in the context of your life instead of a career that takes over everything.

Essentials Program – 4 Sessions

The streamlined core. This program covers the four most impactful tools for aligning your work with who you are, so work supports your life instead of consuming it.

Talk to Yourself Productively

How does your inner voice talk to you? Is it helping you or holding you back?

Use a strengths-focused framework to make intentional choices about your time and energy.
Be kinder to yourself in tough moments instead of tearing yourself down.

Maximize Your Power and Potential

What are your greatest Strengths? When do Strengths turn into weaknesses?

Spot when a Strength is fueling your success and keeping you in your best zone.
Notice when you’re overdoing it and turning an asset into a liability.

Plant Yourself in the Right Soil

What's the right work environment? What brings you joy and energy to do each day?

Recognize the people, places, and projects that bring out your best and the ones that drain you.
Invest your energy where it pays off, not where you carry work stress into bed with you.

Nail the Interview

How do you talk about yourself professionally? How do you answer challenging questions?

Learn a framework for telling memorable stories that highlight your Strengths in action.
Practice reframing “weakness” questions into signs of growth and adaptability.

"Having Ariela as an online StrengthsFinder/ CliftonStrengths coach was one of the best things I did while moving through a career transition. Her thoughtful questions and insights helped me think more holistically about my strengths and become clearer in what I need in order to feel energized and fulfilled through my work."

"When I started Compass Within, I was burnt out and unsure of what I wanted to do next. With Ariela’s compassionate and intentional guidance in the program, I got to know myself better. Now I feel reset, confident, and equipped to pursue opportunities that are truly a good fit for me, not just things that I think 'should' work! "

"The Compass Within program could not be better timed! So many of us are re-evaluating work and what it means to us. The program led me down a path of deep discovery both personally and professionally, through the use of videos, handouts, reflection tools, and one-on-one coaching sessions which were insightful in guiding my career change.

As both the developer of Compass Within and an experienced CliftonStrengths Coach, Dr. Freedman is well-equipped to guide professionals who are feeling “stuck” in the workplace. I am grateful for the Compass Within program for helping me gain clarity about my next professional adventure!"
