The Dangers of Holding Career ExpectationsDiscovering Your Child's "Constellation of Gifts"The 5 Steps to Nurturing Your Child's TalentsWhen and How to Support Their InterestsTeaching Networking Skills for Career ExplorationTrusting the Process as Careers EvolveAbout Karen:
Helping parents uncover their child’s unique constellation of gifts and prepare for unimaginable future careers is my passion. After leaving my role as a litigation partner when my oldest son was a toddler, I became a career counselor, guiding over 1,500 professionals to success while raising my two sons. Through my career counseling, I learned a critical parenting lesson: many clients were led into careers that didn’t fit them due to parental expectations. Determined to break this cycle, I encouraged my boys to pursue their true passion—baseball. Despite not being an athlete, I fully supported their love for the sport. Today, my oldest is a coach and data analyst with the San Diego Padres, a job that didn’t exist when he started college. Understanding that the careers of tomorrow are beyond our imagination, I now write and speak as The Parent GPS, inspiring parents to help their children navigate uncharted paths to success and fulfillment.Follow Karen:
