time for a change? career transition starts here

Logo for Firework Career Coaching framework.

Firework is a 3-part journey to figure out what will be your next career.

For those seeking career coaching in Houston and beyond, Firework is a proven method for you to choose, plan, and start a career transition.

1. Explore

The foundation of Firework is a deep dive into the WHO you are, not just the what-you-like and what-you're-good-at, although those are explored too. Career change coaching during this phase brings out and clarifies your WHO - the basis to later identify career options to consider further.


  • Get crystal clear about what's most important to you, personally and professionally.
  • Leverage the Strong Interest Inventory 244 Career Assessment to generate unforeseen possibilities.
  • Determine exactly what you want in your life and work so that you get a clear idea about the boxes your new career will need to check.

2. Dream

This phase leverages your self-awareness as you begin to brainstorm themes arising from your values, even some you would not have previously considered.  From those themes, you then generate specific career ideas that are an expression of you. You'll explore these further between sessions, finally arriving at your top new career options.


  • Brainstorm a boatload of career ideas based on what you want and what interests you.
  • Paint a clear mental picture of your favorite options, imagining what life and work might really be like if you chose these careers.
  • Choose career option "finalists" to bring to the last phase of career transition planning.

3. Discover

Many find it challenging to figure out career moves, or don't know how to incorporate their deeper value systems in the vetting process. During this final phase, the road to your next career becomes more clear, plans come together, and at the end of the coaching journey you'll pick a career and the route you'll take to get there.


  • Navigate the current realities, considering each career option finalist from every angle: factors that support this choice, and those that undermine it.
  • Begin planning changes that you're ready to implement to build a bridge from where you are now to your newly chosen career.
  • Develop a detailed, time-committed action plan to maneuver yourself from where you are to the career you're choosing.

Find your way with Firework, a proven approach to career change coaching.
