Sculptor's studio

If work experiences are clay,
and you are the sculptor...

What are
you
creating?

Every role, challenge, and responsibility you take on shapes the career you're making. But most careers take shape by default — guided by preferences we've never examined.

The Experience Preference Inventory reveals two dimensions that drive more of your career choices than you might expect. Understanding them gives you the self-awareness to build with intention.

The work

Most careers take shape

by default.

Preferences operate quietly. They shape the work you pursue, the roles you accept, the challenges you lean into.

The Experience Preference Inventory makes those preferences visible. Not to constrain you — to equip you.

For coaches & facilitators

A grounded start to the development conversation.

The inventory gives coaches, facilitators, and L&D professionals a concrete, experience-based framework for opening conversations about career direction — in one-on-one coaching, leadership programs, and group settings.

1:1 coaching

A pre-session primer oriented around preferences and patterns.

Group facilitation

A shared framework for group development conversation.

Leadership programs

Help participants see what they seek — and what they may avoid.

Career transitions

Ground transition work in what the client finds genuinely energizing.

The inventory is the starting point. Experience Compass also includes tools for career history analysis, learning resume development, and structured development planning — for coaches who want to build a deeper practice around experience-based development.

Experience Compass is in active development. The inventory is free while we build and validate the full platform. Coaches and facilitators who want to explore it early — and help shape how it develops — are welcome to get in touch.
