When a transition isn’t just about finding your next role, it’s about deciding who you’re bringing into it.

The most thoughtful next moves often begin by taking inventory of the new you.

I’ve noticed an unusually high number of people navigating transitions these past few months.

When we’re between chapters, our instinct is often to focus on what’s next and get busy searching for the next opportunity.

It’s understandable because action gives us a sense of control.

Recently, while coaching leaders through these moments, I’ve found that the most thoughtful next moves often begin with a different question:

Who am I bringing into this next chapter?

And that leads to some important questions:

>What do I want more of in my next role?

>What trade-offs am I no longer willing to make?

>What strengths do I want to lean into more intentionally?

>Which organizations and cultures truly align with my values?

These questions help us move beyond simply finding the next opportunity.

They help us understand what we’ve learned, what matters most now, and how we want to show up moving forward.

I’m finding that when people take the time to reflect on these questions, they often get more in touch with the person they are becoming, and the roles and organizations that best align with their values.

What about you? Has a transition ever helped you get clearer about what matters most to you?

The Story Behind the Logo

I’m so glad you clicked on the logo. It tells a story, and it’s one I’m pretty passionate about. I’m a big believer in being grounded in the Earth while staying connected to something bigger than ourselves. I believe we are each part of something greater, and that every one of us carries our own unique gifts, strengths, and special magic.
That belief is at the heart of this logo. Look closely and you’ll see roots grounding to the Earth. They represent where we begin: grounded, connected, and rooted in who we are. And at the center, you’ll find a compass. Because I believe we each have an internal compass. It points toward who we are, what matters to us, and where we want to go. And inside that compass is gold. That gold represents the special magic I believe every one of us carries within.
Sometimes we know exactly what our gold is. Sometimes the demands of work and life, the expectations we carry, and the pressure-filled worlds we navigate can slowly pull us away from it. My coaching is about helping people find that gold again, understand it, and put it to work. Because finding your gold is only the beginning. As we reconnect with ourselves, we grow, stretch, and evolve. New possibilities emerge. Stay grounded. Find your compass. Discover your gold. Let yourself grow. Embrace what makes you unique. And remember that you are part of something bigger. That is the spirit behind Compass Within Collective.
