Personality & Purpose: How Who You Are Shapes What You Do

“You’re not just choosing a job—you’re choosing a rhythm, a role, a way to show up in the world.”

In career coaching, we often focus on skills, qualifications, and job titles. But underneath all that? Personality. The way you process information, recharge your energy, and respond to challenges—all of it influences the kind of work that feels like home.

Some of us thrive in high-energy, people-facing roles. Others find flow in quiet analysis or creative solitude. That’s not weakness or limitation—it’s design.

🧠 The Test That Remembers Who You Are

Tools like the Career Personality Profiler™ or CareerExplorer’s Career Test help you:

• Discover your core traits (introversion, openness, conscientiousness)

• Match those traits to real-world careers

• Reframe your quirks as career strengths

🛠️ Coaching That Honors Your Wiring

In my practice, we:

• Use personality insights to reframe career blocks

• Build rituals that match your energy and sensory needs

• Explore metaphors that help you own your story (Knight Rider, anyone?)
