In Clear to Launch coaching, we talk a lot about agency—taking ownership of your journey with intention. Your career isn’t something that just happens to you. It’s something you’re designed to shape. Think of it like piloting a ship: you can drift, or you can steer.

If you’re feeling stuck or unsure about your next move, here are some Clear to Launch–aligned practices to help you clarify your direction and move forward with purpose.

Set Your Course: Self-Awareness Leads the Way

• Conduct a personal inventory – What are your natural abilities, passions, and ideal environments? The Clear to Launch framework calls this your SweetSpot.
• Research your options – Explore how your SweetSpot connects to real-world roles, industries, or causes that matter to you.
• Talk to people – Conversations with professionals in fields you’re curious about can spark clarity and provide real insights.
• Set priorities – Focus on your top three criteria for a fulfilling work life. (Is it creative freedom? Stability? Collaboration?)
• Write it down – Goals become more real when they’re named. Map out your vision and note the steps to get there.

Stay on Course: Build Momentum with Small Wins

• Evaluate regularly – Revisit your goals and progress every 3–6 months. Adjust with intention, not impulse.
• Stretch in your current role – Volunteer for a new project or propose an idea. Growth happens right where you are.
• Keep learning – Online courses, podcasts, or mentorship can expand your perspective and skills.
• Build community – Join groups that align with your interests or mission. Don’t go it alone.
• Get a coach – Investing in professional guidance can accelerate your growth and help you stay aligned with what matters most.
• Start something on the side – A small creative or income-generating project can bring clarity and confidence.

You don’t need all the answers to start moving. In Clear to Launch, we help you name your purpose, clarify your next step, and build the confidence to go after it.
