The Career Script
This is where I write about the work of building a career that fits, for the person living inside it and the organization trying to keep them.
If you're a mid-career high achiever who has done everything right on paper and still feels frozen, you'll find essays on career static, the meaningful middle, and the identity work that goes deeper than a resume rewrite.
If you're in workforce development, HR, or people leadership trying to understand why engagement keeps slipping despite every well-intentioned program, you'll find analysis built on more than a decade inside a Fortune 500 organization, guiding thousands of employees through major transitions.
