The Reality Many Coaches See

Many coaching clients arrive with the same frustration.

They feel stuck, uncertain, and under pressure to make the “right” career decision.


For coaches, these conversations can be powerful - but they often require a framework that helps clients step outside their current thinking rather than simply searching for answers.

The This Wasn’t the Plan™  framework was built for exactly these moments - for adult clients navigating a career transition, and for young adults just starting to picture theirs.

What the Framework Is

The Framework

The This Wasn't the Plan™ methodology is a story-first coaching framework built around five interconnected elements:


  • The book — This Wasn't the Plan (And That's the Point)
  • 15 coaching cards
  • 8 Conversation Maps
  • An assessment tool
  • Reflection and experiments


It does not prescribe solutions. It creates space for reflection.

None of these tools dictates the conversation - coaches move between the cards, the maps, and the book in whatever order serves the person in front of them. The framework supports the coaching conversation. It doesn't control it.

Who Is It For

For You, the Coach

You're the one who purchases and works with the framework. It's built to support your existing practice, not replace your expertise - no certification, no licensing, no script to follow.


Think of it as a new tool in your tool kit.

For Your Clients

Your clients are who the conversation is about. The framework works across career stages - from professionals questioning a job title, to people re-entering the workforce, to young adults just starting to imagine a future.

One methodology, built for two audiences

For working professionals

For clients who feel stuck, are weighing a career change, or are redefining what success looks like - from early-career professionals to leadership-level clients.


Includes: the book · 15 coaching cards · 8 Conversation Maps · Practitioner's Guide (PDF) · assessment tool access

For young adults, ages 16-19

For experienced coaches working with teens just beginning to picture their future. Where the book works as a mirror for adults, it works as a window for young people - showing them how the professional world actually works, through story.
