Choose a profession, study field or university
A structured way to choose: what you're actually looking for, which directions are real for you, and what each keeps open or closes. Not the loudest advice. A direction you chose yourself.
Everything sounds interesting, nothing feels right
- You feel uncertain about which study field or career direction truly fits you.
- Too many options sound interesting, yet none feel right.
- Well-meaning advice from others adds more noise than clarity.
- You worry about making the "wrong" choice and closing off opportunities.
- You want to base your decision on structured reasoning, not impulse or pressure.
Four stages. One decision you can explain a year from now.
The same method serious organisations use for decisions worth millions, applied to yours. Structured conversations, work between sessions on both sides, and a written result you keep.
A written Decision Dossier: your criteria and values hierarchy, a trade-off table of your options, your rationale, and a 30/60/90-day action plan.
Typically one to three 90-minute working sessions, online, plus work in between on both sides. You buy the result, not hours. A check-in within 30 days is included.
End a sprint at any point and pay only for what was done by then, never the full fee without the deliverable. Half the fee is invoiced on confirmation and half with the deliverable; if a sprint ends earlier, the difference is settled as a refund or as a final invoice.
Everything stays between us. No third parties, no exceptions unless you ask or the law requires it.
The list changes every time you write it
Because it has no weights, no criteria and no honest view of the risks; it just mirrors how you feel that day. Decision analysis fixes that: explicit criteria, options compared on the same terms, uncertainty named instead of ignored. The decision stays yours. The reasoning becomes durable.
An advisor, not a coach
PhD, Global Executive MBA. I have advised organisations and leaders on high-stakes choices for over a dozen years and now bring the same methods to individuals at career and life crossroads. Structure, proven methods, and empathy. No hidden agenda, no upsell.
More about meQuestions people ask
Can someone else take part: my partner, a parent, a co-founder?
Yes, when the question is theirs too. We agree at the start which sessions we hold together and which you take alone, because some thinking is easier without an audience. What is said in an individual session stays there, and the result is written for the person whose situation it is.
I am not ready to decide. Is it too early?
No. Most decisions are hard because what is actually at stake has not been named yet, and that is where we start: what the question really is, what matters most, which directions are worth exploring. Nothing forces you to a choice at the end of it. Some people find the decision has become obvious on the way; others take the clarity and decide later, in their own time.
The Find Clarity sprintWhat if I regret the decision later?
A decision made on explicit criteria stays explainable even when the outcome disappoints, which is why the reasoning is written down rather than remembered. Your dossier carries a 30/60/90-day plan, and a check-in within 30 days is included, so new information reaches the plan while adjusting is still cheap.
Is this coaching or therapy?
Neither. Therapy works on how you feel and where that comes from. Coaching works on habits, performance and goals. Here we work the problem itself: the facts, the options, what you value, the risks, and what each path would ask of you. The methods come from strategy, governance, risk management and decision analysis. If what you need is treatment or support with your mental health, that is another profession, and I say so.
What if a different sprint turns out to fit better?
We check your entry point at the start, and if it is the wrong one, I say so and what you have paid moves to the sprint that fits. Nothing is added to a scope without your agreement.
Talk it through before you decide anything
30 minutes, online. We look at your situation, I tell you honestly whether structured advisory would help, and you decide. No preparation needed.
