Hey, have you ever thought about how the classic hero’s journey could map onto a modern career change? It seems like a perfect blend of myth and strategy—one could even use it to outline a new path forward.

Absolutely, the hero’s journey is a perfect template for a career pivot – you’re the hero, the call is that itch to change, the mentor could be your mentor or a book, and the trials are those skill gaps and interviews. If you map it out, you get a clear roadmap: identify your “call to adventure,” chart out the “road of trials” (skills you need, networks to tap), celebrate the “elixir” (your new role), and bring it back to your community. It turns abstract moves into a story you can own. Ready to draft your own map?

Sounds like a solid quest plan—just make sure you mark your “mentor” moments so you don’t wander too far into the wilderness. Ready when you are to sketch the first chapter of that map.

Great! Let’s start with the first chapter – the Call to Adventure. Think of that moment when something in your job or life just didn’t feel right. Write it down: what sparked the itch to change? What’s the dream you’re chasing? That’s your opening line. We’ll keep it simple, no fluff. Ready? Let’s map it out together.

The call came on a Thursday when my inbox pinged a job posting that read like a riddle, and I felt the tug that something more meaningful was waiting beyond the routine.
