Carli Fink
Certified Career Development Practitioner
Hi! I'm Carli, a Certified Career Development Practitioner and a firm believer in the radical idea that each of our lives is full of possibilities - no matter our age, identity, or professional background.
​
So many of us are raised on the mythology that career paths are a straight line from school to retirement; in reality, most of our careers will zig, zag, and squiggle. The vast majority of us will experience both periods of career stability and periods of career change or career uncertainty throughout adulthood. Mass layoffs, the rise of remote and flexible work, AI, social media, globalization, inflation, and the simple desire for purpose and impact are driving a huge shift in the way careers unfold. Career instability is quickly becoming the new normal, even when it feels shameful and scary.
​​​
If you're ready to challenge the narrative of the linear career path, you're in the right place. I provide 1-1 counselling services to individuals who are feeling stuck in or unsure about their work lives, and consulting for schools ready to take a contemporary, evidence-based approach to supporting their students' career development or educators' professional development. ​
Life now contains so many more possibilities than just "picking one thing" when we're young and sticking with it for life because we have so few other options. This reality is more complex and challenging, but it also offers so much more opportunity and variety.
Join me in exploring these foreseeable futures.
