“Exactly what I needed.”

Career Vision’s approach is simple: honest feedback, no holding back – and that’s exactly what I needed.

After 17 months, 3,000+ applications, and four or five rejections a day – I wasn’t just stuck. My mental health was suffering. My family feeling the financial impact. I was watching friends and former colleagues get laid off one by one, and I had no idea if anything I was doing was even moving the needle.

What changed wasn’t luck. It was learning to organize thoughts I didn’t know how to organize – and finally getting honest feedback from someone who didn’t hold back.

I hate talking about myself – it makes me anxious. The Career Vision program helped me reframe my work in a business-oriented context and actually quantify the impact I’d been writing off as impossible to measure. The story brainstorm process alone unlocked metrics I never thought I could claim. When the right opportunity landed, I had my pitch ready: questions prepared, outcomes quantified, nothing left to chance.

I missed designing. But more than that, I missed feeling that piece of my identity.

I have it back.
