Career Coaching

Čitate na srpskom? Pogledajte RS verziju.

In career coaching we apply design thinking principles to career and work-life decisions. Instead of trying to find one “perfect answer,” we explore multiple possibilities, prototype small steps, and move forward with greater clarity and a stronger sense of meaning.

Problems You're Facing

​You might:

  • feel stuck or frustrated with your current career direction

  • sense that your role no longer reflects what you stand for

  • are considering a career transition or job change but lack clarity about the next step

  • feel professionally successful, yet internally uncertain about what comes next

  • want to explore a wider range of possibilities for your work life

  • find yourself overthinking decisions instead of moving forward

How It Works

Free 30-minute consultation
We start with a 30-minute introductory conversation to understand your situation and see whether this approach is the right fit for you.
​
Coaching Sessions
Structured coaching sessions where we use design thinking ideas, tools and exercises to explore possibilities and design concrete next steps.
​
Between-Session Exploration
Short exercises and reflections between sessions help you gather insights from your real life, not only from sessions.

What You'll Get

  • You’ll gain greater clarity about what energizes and motivates you at work, along with a clearer personal narrative about where you are and where you want to go next.

​​

  • You’ll leave with practical next steps for testing new possibilities and shaping work that feels more meaningful and impactful.​

​​

  • The broader goal of the DYL approach is not just to solve one career question, but to develop the ability to navigate future career decisions more consciously and creatively.

​

No commitment and no sales pitch.
We will talk about your situation to see if career coaching with me would be a good fit for you.

​​After two decades in people development, I’ve seen this repeatedly in practice: people can make real turnarounds, even in complex situations.

​

There are almost always more options than we initially see.

 

Career coaching is about exploring those options, prototyping small steps, and moving forward with greater clarity, especially during career transitions or when feeling stuck.​

I strongly believe work is an important part of life (not just a source of income).

 

It can bring meaning, growth and impact.

 

At the same time, it shouldn’t quietly take over the whole picture. We don’t need to build our entire life around work. We can design work so that it supports the life we actually want.

As a Certified Designing Your Life (DYL) Coach, I support clients in using design thinking ideas, tools and exercises to navigate and redesign their work-life.

​

​Designing Your Life is the New York Times best-selling book based on the methodology that professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans developed, and is taught in a class of the same name at Stanford University.

Still not sure if career coaching would help you with your current career challenges?

Let’s find out. Book a brief, casual discovery call, and we can figure it out together.

The Designing Your Life program was a real wake-up call for me. It helped me stop, listen to myself and realize what I really want in my career and in life in general. That realization was neither simple nor pleasant, because it is one thing to recognize one's own desires, and quite another to face the question of what to do with them now.
This was exactly the special value of this program for me. In addition to insight, it provided me with concrete tools that remain and that I can return to whenever I need them. What made the key difference was Jelena and the way she guided me through the entire process.
The encounter with oneself can be frightening, especially when we can no longer pretend not to hear what is really important to us. Jelena's professionalism, experience and ability to simultaneously provide support and leave room for personal responsibility helped me to go through all phases of the program openly, courageously and in my full capacity.
Designing Your Life is not a program that offers answers. It helps us find our own answers, and Jelena is a safe and reliable companion on that journey.
