Dear Career Changers and Decision Makers,

I’m Danielle Roessle, LCSW, Therapist Specializing In Career and Workforce Development—and founder of Inner Compass Coach.

As a kid who was bullied, and a person who found myself stuck in my career back in 2012, it took me a deep investigation to understand that my childhood and career path were intrinsically linked.

I struggled because I was a career development professional when I was unhappy in my career, but was frustrated that assessments could not provide the answer to career satisfaction.

While assessments have their place (we use several in our practice) and can generalize one’s strengths and career options, they are limited because they told me what I already knew, ignored my deepest drivers, I couldn't connect the career suggestions to who I was and what I needed.

I began to look for answers by taking career development workshops, but even they didn't work until I had a greater understanding of inner childhood psychology. What I have learned is that the best way to find a career or business that's a better fit is to go back to the source of where your motivations developed- childhood.

Childhood is the doorway to show you what makes you feel alive, what holds you back, and what gives you a sense of contribution and fulfillment. Assessments cannot do this. 

For career changers, aspiring or current business owners, or teams, Inner Compass Coach not only strives to assist with career pathway planning through using childhood memories, we strive to teach the tools to help work through worklife challenges with confidence and ease.
