#36: 3 Pivotal Career Stages You Need To Know To Unlock Clarity And Direction

Apr 3, 2025

Have you hit a point in your career where something seems — off?

Are you feeling stuck and wondering what’s next — but aren’t sure where to start?

In a recent masterclass, I introduced my signature Career By Design method — a new way of approaching your career which starts with YOU, not external strategies.

One participant shared this shift in approach was her biggest takeaway. But what helped her figure out how to put it into action was learning the 3 career stages I guide my clients through.

By understanding her current career stage, she now knows exactly where to focus her energy.

So in today’s episode, I’m sharing my personal experience navigating these three stages — and how it inspired the approach I now use to support my clients. Because I know what it’s like to feel confused about your direction, stuck in self-doubt or out of control in your career.

Then, I’ll break down the 3 pivotal career stages I see high-achievers move through — and how to identify which one you’re in.

You’ll learn:

  • The moment that marked the biggest shift in my career: going from chasing someone else’s version of success to designing my own
  • How to pinpoint which of the 3 stages you’re in — so you can focus your time and energy in the right place
  • Why identifying your career stage is the key to moving forward with clarity, confidence and the right strategy

So hit play NOW — and let’s dive in!
