Summer Slump
Career Reset

Get clarity, direction, and momentum in less than one week.

You don’t need another long coaching program. You need a focused reset that gets you unstuck fast.

This is a short, one-week intensive career clarity sprint designed to help you stop spinning, make a decision you trust, and leave with a clear next step plan you can actually execute.

You can do this without rearranging your life, taking extended time off, using up those precious vacation days, or explaining anything to anyone. In fact, you could complete most of this while your boss assumes you're in back-to-back meetings or “picking up the kids early from camp.”

Pre-work can be done over the weekend. Coaching sessions will be scheduled at the end of your workday to ensure your boss never finds out.

Book Your Career Reset

The Outcome:

In less than one week, you will:

  • Get clear on what direction actually fits you (not just what feels urgent)

  • Identify realistic, aligned career options based on your values, strengths, and constraints

  • Stop overthinking your job search or next move

  • Walk away with a concrete next-step plan you can execute immediately

  • Regain momentum instead of waiting for “things to calm down”, “the fall” or “the right time”

This is not ongoing coaching. This is decision + direction + action in an accelerated format to support your goals now.

Grab Your Spot

  • This is a structured, high-intensity clarity process:

    • Career and strengths assessments

    • Career Compass framework (direction-setting tool and lifelong asset to use now & into the future)

    • Analysis of aligned career paths and options

    • Clarification of your core direction and decision criteria

    • A prioritized, realistic next-step action plan

    • Momentum strategy to move you from stuck to moving forward

  • This is designed for busy people who are:

    • Feeling stuck, restless, or misaligned

    • Thinking about a job change but stuck in analysis paralysis

    • Applying to jobs without a clear strategy (or relying on “easy apply”)

    • Waiting for motivation to return before taking action

    • Short on time and not looking for a weekly coaching commitment

    • Wanting a fast reset before summer ends and routines pick back up

    This is especially relevant if you’ve been saying:

    • “I know I need to make a change, I just don’t know what it is”

    • “I keep applying but nothing is landing”

    • “I don’t have time for a long coaching program right now”

    • “I need clarity before I waste more time”

  • This is a 1-week intensive built around your work schedule and personal commitments. There will be some pre-work followed by a deep dive session, specific no-guesswork tasks, and two follow-up coaching sessions.

    There are only 4 spots open:
    1. July 27-31
    2. August 3-7
    3. August 10-14
    4. August 17-21

    Email sarah@valuesbasedcareers.com to see if the one you want is still open.

    Enrollment closes Thursday at 12:00 PM for the following week.

    Step 1: Pre-Work
    Upon booking this, you will receive an email with a client agreement, assessments, scheduling information, and tips for making the most of your Summer Slump Career Reset!

    Step 2: Deep Dive Session
    (90 minutes)

    This call will take place on Monday at the end of your workday/early evening. During this call, we will cut through noise, clarify your “true north,” and define what direction actually fits your life right now. You will receive specific steps between sessions to work on that are not “fluff” assignments.

    Step 3: Strategy & Decision Sessions
    (2 × 50 minutes)

    On Wednesday and Friday, we refine options, pressure-test decisions, and translate clarity into an actionable next-step plan. At the end of your Career Reset, you will know exactly what to do next and will have access to asynchronous email support for 14 days after in case you get stuck.

  • By the end of the Summer Slump Career Reset, you will have:

    • A clear career direction
      A grounded, well-defined sense of where you are headed next (not multiple competing ideas or ongoing uncertainty).

    • A decision framework for your next move
      Clear criteria for evaluating roles, opportunities, and paths so you stop second-guessing every option.

    • A short list of aligned career paths or roles
      Based on your strengths, experience, constraints, and preferences.

    • A personalized next-step action plan
      A realistic, prioritized set of actions for the next 2 weeks so you can move immediately instead of “getting ready to start.”

    • A job search or transition strategy (if applicable)
      A structured approach to stop relying on passive applications and start targeting opportunities intentionally.

    • Renewed momentum and confidence
      Not motivational hype. This clarity reduces cognitive overload and makes action feel obvious again.

  • I’m happy to answer any questions you have. Grab a spot on my calendar for us to meet or email me your questions.

Limited Availability
Only 4 spots are available for this cycle to ensure depth and responsiveness in the process. Once filled, enrollment closes.
