You know something in your career needs to change. You’re just not sure what or how.
Perhaps you need… A different role. A different environment. A new direction. Or simply a more sustainable way of working.
In one focused 90-minute session, we will uncover what is creating the friction, clarify the kind of change you need, and define your next step.
When thinking harder is no longer working.
You may have a successful career and still sense that something is no longer quite right.
Perhaps you feel disengaged, restless, or depleted. You may be questioning your direction, considering several possibilities, or wondering whether the problem is your role, your environment, what’s going on in the sector, or something deeper.
You keep thinking about it; you’ve talked it through with people who care about you; you’ve journaled about it… But the more you think, the less clear everything seems. You’re still here with the same questions, doubts, and frustrations.
That's not a failure of intelligence or commitment. It's what happens when you try to read the label from inside the jar.
You don’t necessarily need to make a dramatic decision. But you do need the space to step back, understand what is really happening, and see what deserves your attention next.
That is what this session is designed to help you do.
Who is this for?
This session is designed for driven professionals ready to take the lead in their careers and move forward with clarity and confidence.
This session is for you if:
Your work no longer feels aligned, but you cannot clearly explain why.
You are questioning whether to stay, move, or change direction.
You are considering several possibilities but keep going around in circles.
You feel disconnected from the work that once energized you.
Your current way of working no longer feels sustainable.
You want clarity before committing to a longer coaching journey.
This session is not for you if:
You’re looking for job search advice, a new CV, or someone to tell you what to do.
How It Works
The Career Crossroads Audit isn't a conversation. It's a structured diagnostic process — built around three movements that take you from fog to clarity in 90 minutes.
Movement 1 - Before we meet
You'll complete a short pre-work document and two assessments before we sit down together. Not generic exercises — tools chosen specifically to surface what's most alive for you right now and what tends to get in your way.

Movement 2 - The Session (90 min)
We move through three steps.
Where you are: we'll explore the friction, not just what's not working, but where it lives, why it's there, and what it's costing you
Where you want to be: We start building a picture of what an aligned career actually looks and feels like for you
The Gap and the bridge: We name the distance between where you are and what you just described, the type of move this requires, and your next steps.
I will…
Listen deeply, ask powerful questions, and create a supportive space where you can see yourself and your possibilities more clearly.
I will help you turn insight into a clear direction and meaningful actions.
You will
Come with openness, reflect honestly, and take ownership of what emerges. You will leave ready to act on your insights and take your next step with greater clarity and confidence.
Together…
We will create a partnership grounded in trust, courage, and action—one that helps you strengthen your self-leadership and design a career that is truly yours.
Movement 3 - After the session
The session does not end when we hang up.
Session Summary
What we uncovered, what we named, and 1–3 concrete next steps to keep you moving..
Community support
1 month
Two live coaching sessions, one Leadership Circle, and direct access to me via chat, so you're not navigating the first steps alone.
Your 30-day Check-In
An honest accountability moment to name what's moved and what needs attention next, so that clarity becomes momentum, not just a good conversation.
What if you want support beyond this session?
The Career Crossroads Session is designed to be valuable as a standalone experience. You will leave with greater clarity and a practical next step, whether or not you choose to continue.
It is also the first step in my longer coaching journeys. If you want more coaching support to redesign and step into your next chapter, your full investment in this session will be credited towards your chosen coaching program.
There is no pressure to decide beforehand. We will discuss what emerged and whether continued support would be useful after your session. y
You will leave with...
A deeper understanding of what is really keeping you stuck.
Greater clarity about why your current career situation no longer fits.
Insight into the kind of change or redesign you may need.
A clearer sense of what you want and need moving forward.
A practical next step you can act on immediately.
Most importantly, you will no longer be trying to move forward without first understanding what needs to change.
This is not about solving your entire career in 90 minutes. It is about understanding the real question you need to address and leaving with a clear place to begin.

Do you need a new role, or a deeper career redesign?
Not every career crossroads means you need to leave your job.
Sometimes the role is no longer right. Sometimes the environment is the problem. Sometimes your priorities, needs, or ambitions have evolved. And sometimes it is the way you are working—not the work itself—that needs to change.
Before choosing your next move, you need to understand what is creating the friction.
Otherwise, you risk making a change that looks different on the outside but recreates the same experience.
The Career Crossroads Session helps you identify the kind of change your career may be calling for—so you can move forward more intentionally.
Meet Your Coach, Dolores
A thoughtful space to see what you cannot always see alone
I’m Dolores Rio, a career and leadership coach supporting women in social impact to redesign and lead their careers with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.
Before becoming a coach, I spent more than 20 years working across humanitarian aid and international development, including 16 years with UNICEF. I understand the complexity of building a meaningful career while navigating demanding environments, evolving ambitions, personal responsibilities, and the desire to continue making a difference.
My approach brings together deep reflection and practical strategy.
I will not tell you what you should do. I will help you step back from the noise, uncover what is really happening, and reconnect with your own ability to choose what comes next.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
You do not need to. The session is specifically designed for the moment when you know something needs to change but cannot yet see what. We will begin by understanding what is no longer working and what you need moving forward.
-
No. The answer may not be leaving. We will explore whether the change you need relates to your role, environment, direction, or way of working—without assuming what the outcome should be.
-
One session will not redesign your entire career. It can, however, help you understand the real source of the friction, identify the question you need to resolve, and clarify your most useful next step.
The pre-session reflection allows us to begin this work before we meet and use our time together with intention.
-
No. This session focuses on the deeper career question that comes before your job-search strategy: understanding what is no longer working, what you want instead, and what kind of change you need.
-
Career crossroads often are. You may be balancing ambition, financial realities, family responsibilities, wellbeing, identity, or uncertainty in your sector. You do not need to untangle everything before coming. We will identify what matters most and determine where to begin.

You don’t need to have your entire future figured out.
But you do need to understand what is happening before you can decide what comes next.
If you have been going around in circles and thinking harder is no longer helping, this is your invitation to pause, make sense of what has changed, and take one clear step forward.
