Career Constellations offers a fresh way to understand and navigate professional life. Moving beyond outdated metaphors of ladders and tracks, this book introduces constellation-based models that help readers visualize, interpret, and shape their evolving identities and opportunities.
Through practical tools such as Constellation Maps, Disclosing Triangles, and Adjacent Triangle Strategies, and grounded in decades of coaching and research, this guide empowers you to:
- Surface and interpret patterns of identity, tension, and aspiration
- Map roles and relationships as dynamic systems, not static lists
- Pivot, reposition, and experiment strategically in uncertain environments
- Move from self-observation to purposeful, adaptive design
Drawing on real-world cases and deep professional insight, Career Constellations speaks to mid-career professionals, coaches, and organizational leaders alike: anyone ready to step beyond reactive choices and begin crafting careers as living, evolving systems.
