What it is

What the Career Progression Diagnostic is

A short, free first step — not a full career verdict.

About 3 minutes

A short set of multiple-choice questions about your current situation. No résumé needed.

An initial direction

Your likely working pattern and the first constraint worth investigating — a starting hypothesis, not a verdict.

Your Action Brief

Optional: receive the existing Action Brief for your archetype by email.

The real constraint

You may be solving the wrong problem

When the search stalls, the instinct is to do more of the same. Often the real constraint is somewhere else — and worth naming first.

What people try
You apply to more roles
What may actually be blocking progress
Your positioning may be unclear, so more volume repeats the same result.
What people try
You buy another course
What may actually be blocking progress
The missing piece may be evidence you already have — just not yet shown.
What people try
You rewrite the résumé again
What may actually be blocking progress
The target role or level may be the mismatch, not the wording.
What people try
You blame “no Canadian experience”
What may actually be blocking progress
Strong international experience may simply be poorly translated for this market.

Five patterns

Five patterns — one is your starting point

The diagnostic routes you to the pattern that best fits your answers, with the first area worth investigating.

The free brief provides an initial direction. It is not a founder-reviewed career verdict or a personalized 90-day roadmap — that’s the paid Career Progression Assessment.

An example of the free Action Brief — a short PDF with your pattern, first constraint, and one action. This is not the founder-reviewed 10-section Assessment report.
