Our Process
Creative Life Mapping supports people of all ages with making well-informed and inspired career choices. By taking time to reflect on personal values and life experiences, people develop a stronger sense of identity, confidence, hope, and direction for their lives. Career and personal plans are supported by wellness and career skills which are incorporated in the services.
This Creative Life mapping process starts by engaging people with a series of questions about their background and current situation. This is followed by a guided process of personal clarification, intentional exploration, planning and inspired action.
Here are the steps:

"Eugenie was a tremendously helpful guide as I navigated the expansion of my journalistic career. I’m attempting to increase my coverage from consumer economic and real estate issues to the healthcare sphere. She helped me clarify my goals and was extremely supportive in their execution. "

"With the help of the One Life Tools platform, Eugenie helped me identify and hone in on my skills and interests relating to careers. By going over what I liked and did not like about prior careers, she built a personal snapshot of my skill-set that I could apply in future job pursuits. It was also great being able to speak to someone both knowledgeable about career advice and relatable as a person when figuring out my next steps in life."
