Hey, Christelle,

Ever had that moment on a road trip where your GPS takes you somewhere you didn’t intend to go… and only later you realize the settings were off?

That’s how some professionals feel when they suddenly wonder:

“Wait… how did I end up here in my career?”

In one of my recent Coaching-Infused Conversations, participants shared how they’d been feeling exactly that. And how one metaphor - about career GPS - helped them realize they were following a route someone else had programmed!

🧭 A Coaching-Infused Reflection

Here’s the reflection that sparked the shift:

“What have you been unconsciously optimizing for in your career?”

(Speed? Security? Status? Approval? Something else?)

One participant realized her GPS had been quietly set to “achieve as fast as possible” - without stopping to ask whether that destination still made sense!

Another noticed she’d inherited her settings from mentors and past jobs, and had never updated them to match the life she wants now!

So…

What’s your GPS been optimizing for lately?

And what would it look like to reset it, just a little?

✅ What’s ONE small action you can take today?

Here’s what a few participants chose:

• Brainstorm 3 “scenic routes” that would feel more fulfilling - even if they don’t seem linear
• Block 15 minutes to reflect on the settings you've inherited vs. the ones you’d consciously choose now
• Write a “career settings reset” list with one thing you’ll say yes or no to this week

Small turns shift big directions. What’s your next one?
