What is YouMap®?
YouMap® is a comprehensive, intuitive, actionable framework of self-discovery, revealing strengths, values, motivating skills, and personality-based interests. The personalized profile and supporting guides assist professional and personal use for groups and individuals from team building, hiring, career guidance, conflict management, self-development, and more.
"My client was convinced that he needed to make a career change. He was miserable at a job he had been in for seven years but didn't know what else to do. After looking at his YouMap® and going through coaching, it was evident that it wasn't his job that was his issue; it was his boss violating his values. He was a great fit for the role. Now he is looking for a new job in the same industry in a similar role and ensuring he has the proper support from a boss."

“I, along with my partners, decided to each get certified in different tools so our firm could offer a suite of services.
I started researching and was looking at five certifications a week. Once I got to YouMap® I stopped looking. I showed it to my partners and they said, ‘Well, we want to get certified in this, too. It has everything we're trying to do in one tool.'"

“The key difference I've found between YouMap® and any other model is actionable guidance; it illuminates the path forward in a single tool to uncover aptitude, motivation, and strengths. YouMap takes self-knowledge to the next level by focusing on how to apply that knowledge to benefit yourself, your team, your customers, and your organization.”

Senior Training Manager, Genentech
“I wanted to get something tangible in clients' hands. Something that affirms who they are, even if they couldn’t see it at first. Many of my clients feel stuck and languishing, and this tool shows them what might be wrong AND a path forward.
Having a MAP of themselves has built their confidence and changed their belief about what they have to offer the world, AND created hopeful conversation toward a path forward.
I’m getting answers for clients that may have taken many sessions and lots of trial and error.”

Live with Intention
Overwhelmed? Burned-out? Lost? Grieving? Dissatisfied? In conflict?
YouMap® reveals 'a-ha' moments in a non-threatening way and creates a catalyst for positive change in your life:
​
Purpose-seeking: Divorced, retired, empty-nester, stay-at-home caregiver, or anyone seeking more in life.
​
Overcoming: Change, loss, or unexpected circumstances? Self-awareness is your first step.
​
Confidence-building: Self-doubt to full-blown imposter-syndrome, see yourself objectively and increase your confidence.
​
Relationship-building: Spouses, partners, family, friends, and more. Gain insight into conflict and commonalities.
​
Personal-development: Grow or wither. You get to choose. Capitalize on your assets, release the negative self-talk weaknesses create. Align your life with intention.
“I feel like so many people, and just society in general, focus on the problems with you and 'How can we fix these problems?' No one ever focuses on 'You have so much potential to give society.'
​
It was the first time focusing on what's right with me. I don't have to be in the dark any more or feel like I'm lesser than other people."

OLIVER, High School Student
Study with Intention
​
YouMap® creates clarity during the most stressful time in students' lives - making major decisions that affect their future:
​
Who am I?
We can't make decisions aligned to our strengths, values, motivating skills and interests if we don't know what they are.
​
Is college right for you?
Some students become needlessly tied to stressful student debt when they're not likely to choose a path that requires traditional education.
​
Did you know…?
80% of students change majors three times on average
50% of recent grads regret their choice of major
50% of students don’t know what to do with their major
75% of grads don’t know what positions fit them
17% of students find their college career center helpful
YouMap® addresses these concerns and equips students in career choices and success in job interviews after graduation through demonstration of higher self-awareness than other candidates.
Watch 14-year-old Oliver discuss his YouMap® with coach Cynthia Coufal.
