For the accomplished senior professional who isn't sure what's next. You don't have too many options. You have no filter.
From the outside, your career looks fine. Probably better than fine. From the inside you've been turning the same question over for months: stay, move, change direction or do something else entirely. Every option has a case for it, which is exactly why none of them gets chosen.
The problem usually isn't a lack of options. It's the lack of a way to judge them. This session gives you one. We look at what you're genuinely good at, what you want the next stage of your career to give you and what you're no longer willing to trade for it. Then we test your options against that and narrow the field.
It's strategic counsel, not a personality quiz or a pep talk. Our method was developed over more than 3,000 career moves and draws on Ian Christie's years directing graduate career programs at UBC Sauder and running executive searches.

Where you are: what's working, what isn't and what's changed
What you're for: your strengths and the kind of work where they count most
What you want: the impact, reward, fulfilment and life fit you're looking for
Your options: a frank comparison of the paths you're considering, including staying and redesigning your current role
The risks: what each path would cost you, and what you'd need to test before committing

After more than a decade of organic career advancement, I decided to re-enter the job market and quickly realized I needed clarity on which direction to take, strategy to get me to my next professional destination, and guidance to support me along the way.
By putting in the work and following Ian’s system, I went from a place of uncertainty to interviewing confidently within a matter of months.
Four months into my new position and I couldn’t be happier. I would not be where I am today without the support of the Bold Career Project. I highly recommend Ian and his team to anyone feeling stagnant in their career and looking to make a meaningful transition.

What I appreciated most was his ability to help me uncover deeper insights about my leadership style and the unique value I bring to an organization. The sessions were thoughtful and eye-opening, giving me tools and strategies that not only refined my approach but also amplified my impact across the board.
If you’re a leader looking to gain fresh perspectives or elevate your leadership game, I highly recommend working with Ian. He brings a level of insight and practicality that’s hard to match.
