Are you at an important inflection point in your life or career?
The decisions you make in your life and career direction can have huge benefit to your happiness, wealth and success. But, if you’re not careful, you can end up drifting for years and creating a career or life you don’t truly want.
That’s why we’ve designed the COMPASS Mapping Day - a 1-day immersive workshop to help you get clear on what you actually want - and create a plan to move toward it.
Next Dates: Saturday 25th April, Saturday 2nd May
Who is this for?
You’re mid-career and you’re doing well on paper. But, something feels off.
You’ve done well so far. You’re capable, respected, and earning good money. From the outside, it looks like you should be happy.
But, you’ve outgrown where you are - what lit you up when you started doesn’t have the same effect anymore. You’ve achieved what you initially set out to, and now you’re looking to what’s next. Except you don’t know what’s next. You feel stuck between options:
Stay where you are
Make a move, but risk getting it wrong
Start something new… without a clear direction
You know you’re capable of more - not just more success, but something more meaningful and aligned. You know what traditional success feels like but now you want to do something that truly lights you up.
You’re at a point where you need to make a decision - but you don’t yet have the clarity or confidence to choose. Yet.
About the workshop
COMPASS Mapping Day is designed for this exact moment. You know you need clarity but you’re not sure how to get it.
You know you’ve outgrown where you are, but you don’t yet know what to move toward.
This is your opportunity to be guided through a process that will help you step back, think clearly, and define what’s next.
How it works
The Mapping Day is a structured, immersive experience to help you get clarity on where you are, where you want to be, and what you need to change, so you can feel confident about your next career or life move.
You will:
Clarify what actually matters to you now
Identify a realistic and meaningful direction
Make a clear decision about what’s next
Build a practical plan to start moving immediately
This is not about starting over.
It’s about making a smart, aligned next move - one that reflects who you are now and where you want to go.
What you’ll leave with
By the end of the day, you will have completed your very own ‘COMPASS Canvas’, including:
A clear vision for your next chapter: not just what you’re moving away from, but what you’re moving toward
Clarity on your values and what actually matters now: a grounded foundation for decision-making
Your One Meaningful Goal (OMG): a singular defined direction to focus your time and energy
A practical Mini Action Plan (MAP): clear next steps to begin immediately
Connection to a group of like-minded leaders and professionals: people navigating similar career transitions
The Mapping Day is based on the COMPASS Framework, developed by Matt Defina, the Another Way Founder and former Organisational Psychologist, Corporate Consultant and Mental Health Expert.
What People Are Saying
OMG this has been AMAZING! Really exceeded my expectations for what I’d get out of 90 minutes - I wish we had all day/week on this! Thank you SO much for organising this container today. What a valuable (and expansive) use of my energy (( <3 )
Matt - A mind blowing amount of knowledge in 90mins
Thankyou Matt. This session has landed as very much timely and relevant. One meaningful goal makes so much sense.
Thank you thank you thank- feeling lighter and motivated!
I really enjoyed Matt’s OMG – One Meaningful Goal workshop. It gave me clear direction and helped break my goal down into something achievable. The process helped me uncover the real purpose behind what I want to achieve and gave me practical ideas for turning that goal into reality in a short timeframe.
The COMPASS Methodology
COMPASS is built around a simple, structured process designed to help you navigate career transition - from uncertainty to clear direction and action. At it’s core, COMPASS will help you create a ‘Purpose-Driven-Life’. This is a simple framework at first glance, but each part of it has depth and practical frameworks and tools to help you.
This is the COMPASS Method: Presence → Purpose → Possibility → Community
1. Presence - Understand where you are
Step out of autopilot and take an honest look at your current situation. Identify what’s working, what’s not, and where you’ve outgrown your current path. Get equipped with nervous system regulation tools to slow down and get clarity, and complete your ‘COMPASS Canvas’ to help you assess where you’re at compared to where you want to be.
2. Purpose - Clarify what matters
Reconnect with what is genuinely meaningful to you now - not what used to matter, or what others expect of you. Define your values, motivations, and what you want more of in your life and work. Define your one meaningful direction (OMG) and lock in your mini action plan (MAP).
3. Possibility - Take aligned action
Expand your thinking around what’s possible - then take aligned action towards the goal you’ve set for yourself. Open up to new options and seeing new or creating new possibilities for yourself, as you focus on practical next steps.
4. Community - Move forward with support
Take action alongside a group of like-minded professionals navigating similar transitions. You’ll gain accountability, perspective, and support as you build momentum and follow through on your next move. Most importantly - you won’t be doing this alone.
Evidence-Based Psychology
COMPASS integrates several evidence-based frameworks, therapeutic approaches and leadership tools:
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS / Parts Work)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Motivational Interviewing
Narrative Coaching
Mindfulness and Nervous System Regulation
These approaches are used in the program to support you to:
Clarify your vision and your values - what kind of life and career do you want to create and why?
Make effective, aligned decisions that take you towards the life and career you desire (not away from it)
Grow and evolve in the process, so that you can sustain the changes you make and not slip back to old ways
The Mapping Day
The Mapping Day is based around the foundation tool of COMPASS, which is the COMPASS Canvas. This 1-page document will help you clearly define your vision in each area of your life, make an honest assessment about your current reality and identify what to focus on next.
Whether you’re at an inflexion point in your career or another part of your life, this diagnostic tool will help us identify where you need to focus next (Preview below).
