Self-Discovery & Skills Assessment

For: Every new client

Before we talk about where you're going, we start with who you are. Through structured assessments, soft skills profiling, and honest conversation, we build the self-awareness that makes every next step possible.

What's Included

  • Personality & learning style assessments
  • Soft skills identification and mapping
  • Strengths profiling beyond academics
  • Values, motivators, and work-style preferences
  • Communication and leadership style analysis
  • Career reality testing — examining what careers actually look like, not just what they sound like
  • Goal-setting and clarity framework

What You Walk Away With

A clear, evidence-based picture of your strengths, style, and potential — the foundation for everything that follows.

For the first time I understood not just what I was good at, but why — and that changed how I approached every interview after.

Academic Planning & College Counseling

For: High school students & families

Choosing a college is one of the most consequential decisions a family makes — and one of the largest investments. Journey brings an educator's judgment and a strategist's process to college planning, evaluating schools not just by reputation but by program strength, career outcomes, and how they align with a student's long-term goals. The right fit isn't the most prestigious name. It's the one that creates the greatest opportunity.

What's Included

  • College readiness assessment and academic roadmap — starting as early as middle school
  • College selection and school list strategy
  • Career and major exploration aligned with strengths and interests
  • Application timeline and milestone planning
  • Personal essay development and editing
  • Test prep coordination and score strategy
  • Extracurricular and leadership planning
  • Summer and experiential learning planning
  • Financial aid and scholarship guidance

What You Walk Away With

A well-matched college list, a polished application, and a student who walks into the process with clarity and confidence.

Patty helped my daughter see the application process differently — not as a competition to win, but as a story to tell honestly and well.

Career Direction & Launch

For: College students, graduates & young professionals

Most people don't lack ambition — they lack a clear direction and the materials to pursue it. Journey cuts through the noise with a structured approach to career planning that's grounded in who you actually are.

What's Included

  • Career path discovery and exploration
  • Resume writing and review (ATS-optimized)
  • LinkedIn profile development
  • Interview preparation and mock sessions
  • Transferable skills assessment and career adaptability planning
  • Job search strategy and outreach
  • Offer evaluation and negotiation guidance

What You Walk Away With

A focused career direction, materials that open doors, and a strategy you can execute with confidence.

I came in with a degree and no direction. Within three months I had a resume I was proud of and a clear plan. And a job.

Professional Connections & Mentorship

For: Any Journey client ready for real-world exposure

This is what makes Journey genuinely different. Through five active board memberships and two decades of professional relationships, Patty offers something most consultants can't: direct, curated introductions to real decision-makers in fields you want to enter.

What's Included

  • Curated introductions to industry professionals
  • Informational interview preparation and follow-up
  • Mentorship matching with field-specific advisors
  • Network mapping and relationship-building strategy
  • Alumni and professional community engagement
  • Networking strategy and relationship guidance
  • Alumni engagement and referral navigation

What You Walk Away With

Real conversations with real professionals who can change your trajectory — not a list of contacts, but a door opened by someone who vouches for you.

Patty introduced me to a VP at a firm I never would have reached on my own. That one conversation led to an offer.
