Mapping Your Next Career Pivot is a hands-on, reflective workshop for people considering a career pivot, craving more purpose in their work, or simply ready to explore “what’s next.”
During this session, we’ll identify the themes, strengths, and experiences that have shaped your career so far. We’ll also look at how small conversations, such as informational interviews, can help you explore new sectors or roles without pressure.
A practical reset with clear next steps for your next career chapter, such as job search terms to explore, skills or industries that might fit your strengths, and ideas for who you might reach out to next.

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.
It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
