Presenter: Angie Callen
Topic: Design Over Default: Turning Values into a Career Navigation System
What We’ll Cover:
Do you feel stuck, uncertain, or frustrated by a job search that isn’t leading where you want? The right opportunities don’t seem to present themselves. Roles look good on paper, but don’t quite fit your goals. Interviews go well, yet offers fall just short — always the bridesmaid and never the bride.
Most people underestimate the role their core values play in moments like these. Values are often treated as abstract ideals rather than practical tools, which means decisions are made reactively — based on urgency, fear, or external expectations — rather than with intention. Over time, that disconnect shows up as hesitation, inconsistency, and a quiet erosion of confidence.
In this session, Angie Callen explores how to move from default decision-making to intentional choice by turning values into a career navigation system. Participants will examine how values show up in real-world work and career scenarios, learn how to use them as a filtering and prioritization tool, and walk away with a clearer, more grounded way to evaluate options, make trade-offs, and move forward with confidence — in a job search and beyond.
Key Takeaways:
- Clarify your core values and recognize how those values influence satisfaction, motivation, and decision-making at work.
- Recognize how values show up in practice, including where misalignment often creates friction, indecision, or burnout.
- Apply a values-based lens to career decisions, including job searches, role evaluations, trade-offs, and growth paths.
- Use values as a filtering and prioritization tool, not just a reflection exercise, when facing uncertainty or competing options.
- Increase confidence and clarity by making decisions that are intentional, defensible, and aligned with how you want to work, lead, and live.
