Where you might be now

  • Needing something different from work but not sure what
  • Not sure who you'd be without the job you're in
  • Can't imagine what could be next for you
  • Knowing where you are isn't right, but unsure how to move toward something different

Where you're heading

  • Clarity about what truly matters to you in work
  • Confidence in your ability to make decisions about next steps
  • A path forward you can actually see and move toward
  • Positioned for what's next—whether that's a new role or a new relationship with your current one

"Do I adapt myself, or do I try to change the role, or do I look for something else?"

The Exploration

Areas We Explore Together

A structured exploration tailored for your unique situation. Here are the territories the Discernment Coaching Process takes you through.

01

Work Life Characteristics

Understand the exact areas of work that are (or are not) giving you what you need. Once you know, the right shifts become clear like never before.

02

Core Values

Work that aligns with what matters to you makes all the difference! Once you know what to look for, it is so much easier to find it.

03

Sustainable Strengths

When you're doing what you're great at, work can give you energy rather than taking it away. Get laser focused on what you can succeed at for a long time.

04

Future Fit

Your needs, lifestyle and aspirations are critical guideposts to finding work that's a great fit. And you deserve a great fit!

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't know what I want?

That's exactly what this coaching is designed for. You don't need to arrive with answers—just a willingness to explore. The Discernment Coaching Process helps you uncover clarity through structured exploration.

How is this different from career counseling?

Career counseling often focuses on job search tactics or resume building. Wayfinder coaching goes deeper—exploring your values, what energizes you, and what you need from work to thrive long-term. It's about positioning yourself, not just finding a job.

What if I decide to stay in my current role?

That's a completely valid outcome. Many clients discover that what they need isn't a new job, but a new relationship with their current role. Clarity about what matters to you serves you regardless of what you decide.

How long does the process take?

The engagement typically spans about 8 weeks, with bi-weekly sessions and homework in between. We can usually get started within two weeks of completing a contract and payment.

What does the package include and what is the investment?

This unique one-on-one coaching journey includes:

  • A 30-minute launch meeting to set you up for meaningful exploration
  • A validated assessment focused on the critical qualities of your work environment
  • Structured assignments between each coaching session
  • 5 private, customized coaching sessions held virtually on a schedule that works for you
  • A 30-minute accountability meeting to keep you on the right track

The total investment is $1,750, with a discounted price of $1,300 available to individuals who work for non-profits or who have been laid off due to federal cutbacks in the U.S.

How do I get started?

Get started by scheduling a free conversation directly with Krista. She will be able to answer any questions you have, and discuss when to start and how to get going.

Being at a crossroads doesn't mean you have to go it alone.
