What We Cover in Compass Within Career Transition Coaching
Your career matters, but it’s not the whole story. Too many people let work become their entire identity, leaving them feeling burned out and resentful. Compass Within career coaching helps you see your work in the bigger context of your life: your strengths, your values, your energy, and the people that matter most (including yourself!).
Â
This is about building a career that fits in the context of the life you want and not a career that takes over everything else.

The streamlined core. 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
Your inner voice sets the tone for how you experience work and life. Let’s make it an ally.
- Â Use a strengths-focused framework for self-awareness to make intentional choices about time, money, and relationships.
- Â Be supportive to yourself in tough moments instead of tearing yourself down.
- Â Shift from judgment to curiosity, freeing up energy for what matters.
Maximize Your Power and Potential
Your strengths are your biggest assets… until use them so much that they start to work against you. This is about using them in ways that help, not hold you back.
- Â 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.
- Â Learn how to apply your strengths so they give you energy, not lead you to exhaustion.
Plant Yourself in the Right Soil
Every workplace has both the stuff that fuels you and the stuff that makes you want to bang your head against the wall. The key is being able to name it so you can lean into what helps and reduce your contact with what drives you crazy.
- Â Recognize the people, places, and projects that bring out your best.
- Â Identify the ones that push your buttons or drain your energy.
- Â Invest your energy where it pays off, not where you carry work stress into bed with you.
Nail the Interview
Interviews are your chance to show how your strengths shine in real life. Interviewing isn’t an innate talent, it’s a skill – and with a bit of practice, you can get really good at it.
- Â Learn a framework for telling memorable stories that highlight your strengths in action.
-  Practice reframing “weakness” questions into signs of growth and adaptability.
- Â Develop strategies for handling challenging or out-of-the-box questions.
"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 then become clearer in what I need in order to feel energized and fulfilled through my work."
