How to Figure Out Your Next Career Move
I want to help you reset your career.
Simple as that. If you are going to invest 40 hours a week into a profession for the next 40 years you should enjoy it. Even love it.
Three Coaching Options
Choose the option below that best fits your needs.
One Session Plan = $195
(90-minute session) Let’s dive into as much as we possibly can. We’ll either cover an overview of the whole process from start to finish and touch on each part of the process or we’ll deep dive into the thing that will most quickly catalyze change and progress. This is where I learn more about where you're coming from, where you'd like to be, and the gaps in between. We'll usually talk for about 90 minutes and I'll add as much value as I can in the time.

Three Session Plan = $525
(60 minute sessions) Most Popular! This plan is the nuts and bolts. It’s optimal for a quick launch. You learn enough to be dangerous on your own. In the three sessions we'll develop your Profile of Self, get clear about where you're headed, and set you up with next steps to take action. We'll also refine your resume and cover letter to align with who you are. You'll walk away being able to articulate your values, talents, and where you thrive.
|
Five Session Plan = $750
(60 minute sessions) This is where real change happens. There are really several things that need to be explored to figure out your career. They include your vision, the barriers or obstacles, your values, strengths, and ideal environments to thrive, and more. We'll use this time to deep dive into your vision for the future, your Profile of Self, your network, how to connect with influencers, and your next steps. We'll also refine your outward-facing tools including your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn/Facebook page and more.

Do you know what you really want to do for a living?
Do you believe it's even possible to love what you do from 8am-5pm?
Let's get clear about this right up front: It's definitely possible to do what you love. How do I know?
Loving your career is all about centering your work around who you are, what you do best, and where you most thrive. In other words, put yourself in a place to be YOU and get paid to be who you already are.
- I've done it myself. I used my career as a case study for seven years and went from a soul-sucking job to a career I love and get paid well to do. I did it while happily married, building a family, and serving in my church. In other words, I didn't have to give up everything to do it. From my experience I've teased out the most important things you need to know and do to make it happen for yourself NOW.
- I've been coaching others how to do it for almost a decade with consistent results.

"It can't be that simple, right?"
Yes and no.
Doing what you love for a living is as simple as putting yourself in a place to do what you do best. But figuring it out takes actual work. Challenging work. And making the reset will require some decisions, action steps, and even some risk. But the hardest part is doing it in a silo, which is where I come in.

I've been up the mountain and back and I'm here to help you in the process.
The best news is it shouldn't cost a fortune to figure it out. You don't need a long-term coach or a ton of money to reset your career. In fact, I can give you what you really need to know in 3-5 sessions.
After working with me for 3 sessions you'll get really clear about three things that will guide your reset:
You'll also get access to real-time advice and coaching centered on helping you figure out where you want to go and get there.
After working with me for 3 sessions you'll get really clear about three things that will guide your reset:
- Your unique talents and strengths that become the nucleus of an effective career.
- Your options for doing more of what you do naturally well.

You'll also get access to real-time advice and coaching centered on helping you figure out where you want to go and get there.
Imagine waking up every day and getting paid to be you.
This is a really authentic way to live and it yields a ton of satisfaction.
The first thing you have to accept is that IT'S POSSIBLE. I believe it because I did it. I've also helped hundreds of others do it.
I will arm you with what you need to know to figure it out. I can't figure it out for you but that's not really what people want or need. They don't expect me to tell them what to do for a living but they do expect me to tell them HOW to figure it out. That's my real value-add.

Dustin has an uncanny ability to sort through an overwhelming sea of information, zoom in on an individual's dominate strengths and life themes,and offer clear paths of direction and opportunities. |
How It Works
Two things stick out in my mind from my time trying to figure out what to do with my life. The first is that no one seemed to know how to help. Most people just told me to play the conventional game and it would sort itself out. It doesn’t have to be that way.
The second is that the thought of having a coaching was both interesting and scary. I was desperate enough that the interesting part outweighed the scary but the barriers to entry were numerous:
There may have been others but I can’t think of them now. My point in bringing these up is that if you are thinking any of the above that means you’re normal.
The second is that the thought of having a coaching was both interesting and scary. I was desperate enough that the interesting part outweighed the scary but the barriers to entry were numerous:
- How did I know this coach wasn’t going to be a quack trying to make a living off my suffering?
- How did I know it would really help?
- Where can I find someone that doesn’t just work with executives? There aren’t a ton (read: any) coaches specializing in helping people figure out their career outside of college campuses.
- How much does this stuff cost?
- When the time came to end it, how would I do that in the least awkward way possible?
There may have been others but I can’t think of them now. My point in bringing these up is that if you are thinking any of the above that means you’re normal.
My goal is clear the path.
I want to remove as many barriers as possible and make this easy for you.
With that in mind, below are several pricing options. You buy the package that you want via the power of Paypal and if/when we’re through and you don’t feel the need for additional coaching you don’t purchase more. You can also purchase one session at a time and stop when you want.
I’ve put some descriptions of an ideal flow for the three- and five-session plans below. The caveat is that these have to be flexible. Time and time again I’ve been two or three sessions into coaching and we’ve altered and customized the plan to fit the client’s goals. Your success is my success and I want to do whatever it takes to get you where you want to go.

Three Session Plan = $375 (three one-hour sessions)
This plan is the nuts and bolts. It’s optimal for a quick launch. You learn enough to be dangerous on your own. Session 1 = Defining Your Strengths and Following the Energy The key to a satisfying career -- to getting paid to be you -- is to figure out your value-add. That is, we have to spend time defining those things that make you unique, those talents that you can build a career around and have huge success as a result. One of my strengths is helping individuals synthesize information that is important to their development. That means we’ll dive into what makes you great and begin to define those talents. Session 2 = Putting Your Strengths to Work For this session you will have spent the interim identifying strengths and defining them. We’ll refine them and figure out a strategy for putting them to work now to begin catalyzing change toward your goal. This is where we begin to create alignment between who you are and what you do on a daily basis. Session 3 = Finding Your Fit in the World At this point you’ve figured out what you do best and we’ve begun to strategize how to do more of it. The goal of this session is to launch you and make a plan for how you’ll proceed when coaching is over. |

Five Session Plan = $750 (five one-hour sessions)
This is where real change happens. There are really several things that need to be explored to figure out your career. They include your vision, the barriers or obstacles, your values, strengths, and ideal environments to thrive, and more. We’ll break these up thematically like this: Session 1 = Get Clear About Your Vision This session is powerful. This is where we explore what you really want to do and put some structure to it. We’ll dive into the overarching plan to figure it out set you on the path with some action items. Session 2 = Define Your Strengths As with the above, the foundation of a successful career is to simply put yourself in a place to get paid to do what you already do naturally well. The challenge is figuring out what that is. We’ll deep dive into strengths and refine some strengths statements. Session 3 = Identify Your Values and Your Ideal Environment to Thrive The “Inner Work” of figuring out career is to define not only your strengths but also your values (what you believe in -- your drivers!) and the environments where you most thrive. You’ll come away from sessions 2 & 3 more aware of who you are and what you do best than ever. Session 4 = Defining Your Outer Work If all you do is reflect and become self-aware you’ll make huge progress. That said, the key to actually moving the needle on career is to figure out the work you need to do beyond reflecting to actually make progress. For some, this includes laying the foundation to launch a business. For others, it might be creating the network of contacts, conducting additional research, or developing your platform. We’ll define the next steps to get you moving. Session 5 = Execute Your Plan At this point, things are rolling. We’ll use this session to explore barriers, action plan for the future, and get you set up to dominate. My goal is to arm you with whatever you need to feel confident that you are moving in the right direction to make your vision happen. Along the way we’ll explore and remove barriers and obstacles which may cause some session topics to bleed into others. This package is for the person who wants to deep dive and get clear about who they are, what they offer, and how to get there. |
Format
Nothing beats diving into coaching face-to-face and figuring this stuff out. When possible, that’s my preference. When it’s not possible, Skype and/or phone make great alternatives and are also highly effective. Let’s do what works best.
Follow-up
What happens between meetings? First, I’ll give you at least one action to take to move along the process. You’ll quickly find that this takes work and it’s not easy stuff. Just yesterday I was coaching a client and after laying out the process I asked what stood out. “This is hard work,” she said flatly. Truth.
You also have access to me via email. I strive to be as accessible as possible to you because, again, your success is my success. I’m not doing this to make a fortune. I’m doing it to add value to you and your world.
