Private Career Advisory
You can’t choose an opportunity you can’t see.
You know you want to leave your current work. What you’d like to do instead is harder to pin down.
I help accomplished professionals explore possibilities beyond the familiar ones—and work out which are worth pursuing.
Your experience keeps suggesting more of the same.
You look at roles you’re qualified for. People recommend positions that resemble the one you have. A recruiter sees your background and knows exactly where to put you.
It’s all perfectly reasonable.
It also makes it difficult to explore a future that doesn’t look much like your past.
Even a better version of your current job may leave an important question unanswered: Do I still want this kind of work?
Before you commit to an answer, examine the options.
“Something different” can mean a different employer, a different use for your expertise, a business, a portfolio of work—or a possibility you haven’t encountered yet.
Each comes with questions worth investigating.
What would the work involve on an ordinary Tuesday?
What would you have to learn?
How would the income work?
Which parts of your experience would travel with you?
A possibility becomes much easier to judge once you can see more than its job title.
The Next Chapter Brief + Field Guide
You don’t need more ideas. You need a clearer way to evaluate them.
When you’ve been turning a decision over for months, it helps to get your thinking somewhere you can actually look at it.
The Next Chapter Brief helps you identify what you want more of, what you’re ready to leave behind, which strengths you still want to use and what your work needs to accommodate now.
When you’re finished, you’ll receive a personalized record of what matters—so you can evaluate new roles, projects and possibilities without losing sight of the reasons you wanted a change in the first place.
Build My Next Chapter BriefThe Next Chapter Advisory
Some decisions deserve another person at the table.
You may have several ideas and no useful way to compare them. Or one idea you keep returning to, along with a substantial collection of reasons it probably won’t work.
In private advisory, we examine the decision together.
We look at what you want your work to make room for, where your experience could be useful, and what you need to find out before committing time or money.
I ask questions, notice patterns, and help you investigate assumptions that may have been sitting unchallenged for years.
You bring the context. We build a more informed basis for your decision.

I’m Rachel Gaddis.
People often come to me with a career history they can explain and a future they can’t.
I’m interested in the details: the work they keep getting asked to do, the projects they enjoyed for reasons they haven’t quite identified, the ideas they dismiss before we’ve had a chance to examine them.
Those details can point toward possibilities that a list of qualifications won’t reveal.
My work is helping you follow those clues far enough to decide what to do with them.
Put the possibilities somewhere you can examine them.
Start with your Next Chapter Brief. Then use the Field Guide as you encounter ideas, have conversations, and find out what the work actually involves.
