WORK WITH ME

The Career Excavation Framework™

Dig deeper. Discover your potential.

After nearly 20 years as an archaeologist, I’ve learned that careers, much like excavations, hold layers of experience, potential, and untold stories waiting to be uncovered.

That’s why I created the Career Excavation Framework™, a structured, empowering process that turns uncertainty into clarity and confidence.

Together, we’ll:
1. Survey your career landscape and map your values.
2. Dig to uncover hidden strengths and transferable skills.
3. Contextualise your findings to shape new directions.
4. Construct your career story — confident, authentic, and future-ready.
