Career Explorer Program

Stop wondering and start plotting, with a research-backed approach to your career evolution.

There comes a time in the lives of many successful professionals when they begin wondering:

“Is there anything else out there?”

Whether you're experiencing fatigue, misalignment, or just quiet curiosity, you're not alone. Many of my clients reach  this exact inflection point. The question is real, but the answers are unclear.

And once you start exploring, another problem shows up:
You only get one LinkedIn profile.
It has to reflect every possibility you're considering. And it’s public.

Before LinkedIn, you could customize résumés for each opportunity. Now you need one story that works across roles, industries, and directions—even if you're not quite sure where you're headed yet.

The Career Explorer Program is designed for exactly this moment.
It brings structure, research, and careful narrative development to this moment of curiosity in your career—helping you explore what’s out there while building the language to move forward on your terms.

What kinds of career paths can you explore?

This program supports exploration across a wide spectrum of possibilities, including:

• Obvious next steps: Direct-hit roles, lateral moves, or similar positions in familiar industries with clearer paths forward.

• Adjacent opportunities: Roles that shift context—such as taking your skills into a new industry, business model, or organizational structure.

• Aspirational moves: Elevated roles like promotions, expanded responsibility, board service, or fractional executive work.

• Undiscovered paths: Possibilities that aren’t yet fully formed—roles, titles, or directions that emerge through our work together, sometimes reveal new ways to apply your experience and skills.

You don’t need a clear outcome to begin. Just the space and time to figure it out.

Reverse-engineering career possibilities

Through research-backed career analysis—especially Job Description Analysis (JDA)—you'll begin identifying what roles actually require, what stories you can already tell, and where you might want to build new experience.

The Career Explorer Program doesn’t need to be just about your next step. It can be about setting the stage for the next 5, 10, or even 15 years. Many clients use this program to reverse-engineer their way into long-view goals they never thought possible.

Note: The Career Explorer Program includes the same rigor, structure, and strategic storytelling found in the Career Integration Program—but with added time and space to explore new and unconventional possibilities. If you’re still clarifying what you want, this is where we begin.

• Got just one career direction? Check out the Résumé Readiness Package (optimizing job search preparedness for a single role).

• Don’t need this much exploration? Check out the Career Integration Program (integrating 2-3 roles into a single brand).

Step 2 of 3: Review this program in detail

Phase 1 — Career Research, Analysis & Discovery

This is where the exploration begins. You’ll use a blend of introspective tools and market data to:

• Identify roles and industries that might suit you

• Pinpoint overlaps between your experience, values, and aspirations

• Uncover credible new directions you haven’t yet considered

• Build a flexible narrative structure to support your evolving brand

You’ll complete Jared Redick’s Job Description Analysis (JDA) and then participate in:

• 5 x Career Research, Analysis & Discovery Sessions (60 minutes each)

• Strategic analysis of known and unknown paths

• Modular story-building to support optionality and forward motion

Phase 2 — Résumé Writing, Strategy & Interview Prep

Once you’ve narrowed your focus—or clarified the territory—we’ll shift into writing, side by side via Zoom.

Together, we’ll shape a résumé that aligns with the directions you’re considering while helping you think more deeply about what you want next.

This isn’t résumé writing in a vacuum. Each session blends mechanics with introspective rigor—a process that many clients describe as a surprising form of executive coaching.

You’ll participate in:

• 7 x Résumé Writing, Strategy & Interview Prep Sessions (60 minutes each)

• Real-time résumé development with strategic guidance

• Framing that leaves room for flexibility without losing clarity

Phase 3 — LinkedIn Profile Development with Strategic Intent

Your résumé is targeted and can be adapted for each submission. But your LinkedIn profile has to work harder. It needs to resonate with all of your potential audiences, across the directions you’re actively—or quietly—exploring.

If you’re conducting a stealth search or hoping to be found passively, the complexity only increases. You can’t afford to signal too much or too little to colleagues, clients, or your current employer by shaping your profile solely for recruiters.

Navigating that tension between visibility and discretion is a nuanced challenge. It’s something I’ve been helping clients manage since LinkedIn’s earliest days.

Together, we’ll create a profile that:

• Is keyword- and context-rich, subtly strategic, and discreet by design

• Reads like a business tool, not a job search announcement

• Reflects your unique context: clearly available if you're actively looking, or comfortably employed and open to the right opportunity

Sessions include:

• 3 x LinkedIn Profile Development with Strategic Intent Sessions (60 minutes each)

• “LinkedIn for Business” Questionnaire (pre-writing prep)

• 3 supporting modules covering LinkedIn structure, copy, and use cases

Goal: A full Library of Master Documents

It’s not all fun and games. Our lively, challenging, and hopefully fun Zoom-based work sessions will ultimately result in usable materials for your next move. Our bursts of visionary insight and practical grinding-at-the-details will eventually produce a forward-looking Library of Master Documents, which includes:
