Strengths-, values- and brain type-driven career. Discovering your personal GPS...
summary
Four years working with over 500 IT professionals yields a practical process: use CliftonStrengths to map natural drivers, blind spots and problem‑solving tactics; name top values and test daily micro‑habits; screen for nervous‑system limits with a free brain‑type test and address serotonin/stress before career decisions. Backed by Gallup data—76% of employees report burnout—and a Poland IT sample at 43%, this approach includes a 1.5‑hour office‑hours review of your report and concrete workarounds (e.g., rituals to counter a “responsibility” freeze).
