Small group. Deep insights. Great Impact. Career Compass is designed for personalised growth and lasting clarity and direction.
Hi Reader,
When I look back on my adult life, I notice a strong correlation between how fulfilled I felt at a given time and how often I would notice, look at, or buy a lottery ticket. The less fulfilled and connected I was to myself, the more I looked for shortcuts, and the more easily distracted I became.
I came to see this behaviour as a sign, an internal signal that something was out of alignment, that I needed direction. I needed a compass. A Career Compass. My own compass pointed me towards a profound shift. I transitioned from a career in tech to one in education, driven by a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. Too many of us feel disconnected from our current work and disoriented about what to do next.
Inspired by my personal journey and key insights from humanistic psychology, I created the Career Compass Programme. It is a 24-hour experience spread over two days, designed to bring absolute clarity on how to navigate our professional lives in a more meaningful and purposeful way. In this newsletter, I will share a few key insights into career fulfilment and how to start finding your own direction.
Discover the 12 Types of Human Brilliance Beyond IQ
Is it possible that IQ is only one of many possible forms of intelligence? In this article, I share a framework I developed to help people recognise and celebrate the many forms of human brilliance. I have organised in a way that is easy to identify, 12 core types of intelligence, each with 3 unique expressions, covering everything from emotional and creative to technical and philosophical insight.
My goal is to expand how we think about being “smart” and to help each person connect with their unique strengths and genius. Because knowing how you are is an important step to knowing where you're meant to go.
John Dewey was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer best known for promoting progressive education and the idea that learning is rooted in experience and critical thinking.
"A career is not simply about achieving a series of external milestones—it is about engaging in an ongoing process of learning, experimentation, and growth. The modern workplace often expects us to compartmentalise our professional selves, but true fulfilment comes when our career allows for personal development and intellectual growth. Work should not be merely a means of economic survival; it should be an avenue through which individuals can explore their passions, learn new skills, and contribute to the greater good. The modern world presents unique challenges in finding work that is not just a job but a career that aligns with our evolving selves. Career fulfilment comes when individuals find purpose in their work, not by pursuing external rewards, but by connecting their professional lives to their deeper values and potential for growth." (Dewey, The School and Society)
― John Dewey
A question to ask ourselves: How much do you care about what we do professionally? Are you fully engaged with it, or is it just a means to an end? Are you stimulated mentally, intellectually and professionally or feel bored, disengaged and stagnant?
Something To Experience
Career Compass - First Within Then Without
Our generation needs Career Compass.
Too many of us find ourselves unfulfilled and disoriented when it comes to our professional lives. I believe this often stems from a lack of self-awareness, which is essential to navigating life with a sense of fulfilment.
Career Compass is a learning experience designed to build self-awareness in this context. It’s an immersive two-day programme, using iDiscover’s original methodology, that guides you on a powerful journey into your inner world. Over the course of two transformative days, you will uncover your core values, unique strengths, key priorities, and the deeper drivers of your fulfilment.
What you can expect:
A highly immersive and interactive two-day experience
Small group format for personalised attention
Expert facilitation, guided reflection, and practical tools you can carry forward for life
By the end of the programme, you will leave with clarity, confidence and a renewed sense of direction. You will be ready to take your next steps with purpose and enthusiasm. This is the journey I’ve created to help you find your true north, and I’d love to have you join me.
About this newsletter: Every week, this newsletter will follow a simple structure of 3 sections: Explore, Reflect, and Experience. I will invite you to explore a piece of content I have to share with you, reflect on a question or a quote and experience something mind- or heart-opening that will enrich your life.
