Eleven years ago this month, I left my full-time job without a plan for what would be next, and started my very first independent consulting project. I had no idea then that I would launch my own business and be doing it for this long - I thought I would just do a bit of consulting while I looked for my next full-time role. But that's the thing about careers: they usually don't turn out like we expect.

In case you haven’t noticed, things look a little different around here! After months of work behind the scenes, we’re excited to share our new website, updated branding, and a new framework that captures how we partner with purpose-driven leaders.

We've spent this month celebrating the 10 year anniversary of Careers for Social Impact. As we mark this milestone, I've been doing a lot of reflecting on the impact that we've had during these 10 years, and everyone who has impacted us. As we wrap up this birthday month, I want to express my graditude to everyone...

In 2021, I thought my days as a business owner might be numbered. Careers for Social Impact was thriving, but I wasn't. I was in a work slump. Luckily I was able to work my way out of it, and today I want to share what that process looked like, what I learned, and how that impacts the...

For the past week I've been on my own. My husband and kids went out of town, and I stayed behind to work and finish prepping for a trip we have coming up. The cat and dog are staying with family - so I was truly on my own, for the first time in over nine years. That’s right: for the first time in almost a decade I had a week with... 

If there’s one thing we’ve learned these past few years, it’s that rest is essential to persist through the challenges life consistently throws at us. Especially for those of us working in social impact, it’s important to find a balance between taking action and supporting others and taking care of ourselves.

Next month (June 16th to be exact!) marks our eight year business anniversary. That was the day I began my first independent consulting project, starting down the path to what would become Careers for Social Impact. Reaching this point feels like a huge milestone. Over the past eight years we’ve supported over 4,000 people through our coaching...

Seven years ago this week, I stepped into the unknown and started my first independent consulting project. At the time, I thought I’d just be doing a few projects as I looked for my next full-time role; I had no idea that I was planting the seeds of what would become Careers for Social Impact and the next chapter of my career. Looking back, there were a few hints... 

As we recognize and honor Black History Month, I thought it was a good time to share an update on our commitment to anti-racism. I shared some initial thoughts on this over the summer, and today I want to share what we have been working on since then, and what we are committed to doing in the year ahead.
