Meet Michele
Hello! I’m Michele Fawcett-Long, a career direction coach and founder of Career True North. You absolutely can find a new career direction and a more meaningful life, and you don’t have to go it alone.
By coaching together, we will help you harness your innate energy and map your way to your own career true north – to a place where you can
- live your passions
- really use your skills
- live what you value
- find fulfillment, and
- navigate to a career that truly fits
How do I know this kind of change is possible? I’ve lived it. I know about searching for a new career direction because I’ve been there, more than once. Work has never been just work to me. I’ve always needed to find meaning, to do tasks that match who I am, to be around generous and good-hearted people, and to feel that I am adding to the sum of good in the world.
I’ve been coaching since 2015, and I’m happy to say that guiding people to happiness, meaning, and purpose in their work life is my own career true north.
My Career True North clients are people who not only feel stuck in the wrong job but also want to find meaningful work. They often feel that their values and priorities are at odds with their employers’, and they are yearning to be able to live their passions. Many identify as introverts and feel unheard and overlooked. They are stuck doing what they are “supposed” to do, trying to fit into a world that feels foreign to who they really are. All are intelligent, capable and often have a creative streak.
And here’s my promise to you: If we coach together, I will see you, hear you, honor you, and help you find the path that is uniquely yours.
You can find your own career true north.

What people are saying:
"Michele is outstanding!! She helped me to dig deep and get to the heart of my biggest fear – this was by far one of the biggest breakthroughs I have ever had!
I particularly appreciated how Michele listened to everything I had to say and gave me the space to share feelings and emotions. She held space for me to really feel safe and nonjudgmental about my words.
Michele is compassionate, reliable, and witty. We hit it off from the beginning and build a very strong rapport, and our work together was exactly what I needed."
