Feel in a fog amidst your career transition?

You’ve checked the boxes, climbed the ladder, and done everything you were “supposed” to do, but instead of feeling proud, you feel misaligned and uncertain about your next step.

You may find yourself saying things like:

  • “I’ve tried everything that used to work, and it’s not working anymore.”

  • “I feel less effective than I used to.”

  • "A disruptive change has me uncertain of how my job will be.”

  • “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

  • "I don't feel confident at work; I’m experiencing impostor syndrome."

Nothing is wrong with you. You’re simply in a career transition, and transitions don’t have to be something you fear. With the right career coaching support, they can be the doorway to a more aligned, authentic career.

From Stuck to Congruent: Your Career Path Forward

At CTC, we acknowledge career transitions as opportunities to not just find the next job title, but to rediscover alignment between your values, strengths, and goals. A person is congruent when their behavior matches their beliefs. It’s when outside actions and decisions are aligned with how they feel on the inside.

Cheri is a trained, trusted partner who creates a safe space for thought provoking discussions, to gain the confidence you need to move forward — and a practical, self-congruent plan to get there.
