Individual Services
You don’t need all the answers—just your next best step.
There are no right or wrong answers here. Just better choices—and I can help. Whether you're navigating a career pivot, life transition, grad school application, or simply feeling stuck and unsure where to begin, I partner with you to design what’s next with clarity, focus, and follow-through. My work with individuals spans career strategy, life design, and learning—because the path forward isn’t always clear and it’s rarely linear. And, it doesn’t have to be perfect or profound to be progress.
No right path. No perfect plan. Micro-steps to action.
What We Can Work On
Your career, your life, and your learning don’t stand alone—they shape and influence each other. In our work together, we look at the whole picture so your choices and actions align.

Programs & Events

Coaching Experiences
Coaching is an intentional, iterative process designed to create clarity, momentum, and transformation in your career, learning, or life. Through a blend of reflection, strategy, and accountability, you shape goals that align with your values and design practical pathways to move forward. Each session adapts in real time—sometimes you’ll want space to reflect, sometimes you’ll want strategy or concrete tools. You always leave with sharper insight and next steps you can put into action.
How it works:
Broader scope: Coaching can explore multiple areas—career moves, confidence building, life design, or learning plans.
Sustained momentum: Experiences unfold across a series of sessions, with topics and long-term goals set at the start and revisited as you go.
Clear goals and benchmarks: We track progress together, ensuring movement it’s both actionable and measurable.
Tailored rhythm: Each session adjusts the balance of reflection and strategy to match your needs in the moment.

Design Labs
A Design Lab is a hands-on, outcome-focused session where you increase your knowledge while doing. You work on your own career, academic, or personal materials and strategies in real time—while also understanding the how and why, not just the what. You don’t just leave with notes—you leave with a tangible deliverable, deeper insight, and practical tools you can use right away. Each lab is a blend of design and systems thinking delivered through the lens of a certified coach, trained facilitator, and consultant.
How it works:
Focused outcomes: Each lab centers on one key deliverable (e.g., resume, LinkedIn profile, job search plan).
Guided partnership: We work together in real time, combining your insight with my coaching, facilitation, and consulting tools.
Tangible takeaways: You leave with a finished or nearly finished product and clear next steps.
Immediate application: Tools and strategies are designed for you to use right away.
-
Every Design Lab is a custom, guided experience, not just a one-time session. After refining the focus in the discovery call, the Lab includes:
Pre-work activity to spark ideas
90-minute session with structured, hands-on work and creation
Follow-up guide with resources and next steps
30-minute post-lab consult to reflect, refine, and carry momentum forward
-
Design Labs are shaped around the areas you want to grow or create in. Here are some of the most common:
Career Design Labs — resumes, LinkedIn, and job search strategies
Life Design Labs — navigating transitions, setting boundaries, or mapping your next chapter
Learning Design Labs — academic or professional applications, personal statements, and learning plans
Custom Design Labs — if you have a topic in mind that isn’t listed, we’ll co-create a Lab around it.
-
Each Design Lab wraps with outcomes you can apply right away. Depending on your focus, that might include:
A refined strategy for updating your resume or tailoring applications
Clear bullet points or narrative drafts that strengthen your materials
Targeted edits or feedback on a personal statement or LinkedIn profile
A mapped approach to networking, job search steps, or learning goals
Practical tools and resources to support continued progress
It’s always both: a tangible step forward and a deeper understanding of how to keep building.
Programs & Events
Coming up…
Programs and community events are opportunities to connect, learn, and design together. They are open to groups on a first-come, first-serve basis and can include workshops, presentations, networking opportunities, or accelerators. Each experience is designed to be accessible and inclusive—a space where every person is valued for what they bring to the table, regardless of where they are in their life, career, or learning journey.
How it works
Programs: Short series or cohorts that blend design thinking, coaching, and peer learning.
Events: One-time sessions such as networking dialogues, themed workshops, or community conversations.
Collective learning: Each experience balances individual insight with shared community growth.
Accessible connection: Open, inclusive spaces structured for meaningful participation by all.
Equity in Practice:
Liz Vocasek Coaching & Consulting, LLC work is rooted in inclusion, community, and growth. That’s why I reserve a limited number of sliding-scale spots for individuals navigating financial constraints—especially those in nonprofits, education, caregiving, or career transition. If that’s you, reach out and we’ll explore what’s possible.
A portion of each full-price engagement contributes to expanding access for others, building a community where opportunity is shared and sustained.
