Three Strategic Career Pivots: Refine, Rebuild, or Redesign
About the Session:
Many high-performing professionals feel successful on paper but disconnected from their work because their careers no longer reflect what they value most. When values shift—due to leadership changes, life transitions, or burnout—continuing on autopilot becomes unsustainable.
In Three Strategic Career Pivots: Refine, Rebuild, or Redesign, you’ll learn how to evaluate your career through a values-first lens and determine the most strategic way forward without sacrificing income or professional credibility. This session introduces a practical framework for aligning your skills, impact, and compensation with what matters most in this season of your life—whether that means refining your current role, rebuilding into a new or adjacent path, or redesigning your career through fractional or split work.

About the Host:
Rachel is the Founder of Made for More Coaching (www.rachelspekman.com), a career strategy firm that helps high-performing professionals trade high-paid, soul sucking careers for soul-aligned work that still makes them a great income. After 15 years marketing brands, 10 years supporting startup founders, and 5 years as a therapist, Rachel noticed a pattern. High-performing professionals who feel unfulfilled in their careers often lack the right support to move into work that is truly aligned. Many talk to their therapists about burnout, overwhelm, and the constant pressure of balancing work and life—yet they’ve grown accustomed to feeling drained, miserable, or unwell. Some turn to career coaches or recruiters, but these paths are often transactional and focused on landing a role quickly rather than addressing deeper alignment or long-term strategy. Rachel learned that high-performing professionals need someone who understands their emotional reality and knows how to strategically position, elevate, and market their skills. They need a career strategist who can deliver momentum and results—so they can start feeling like themselves again. Whether that means expanding scope within a current organization, making an industry pivot, or stepping into a fractional role, Rachel helps professionals reverse-engineer their next move with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
