## About

Life Design with Nelle helps mid-career professionals design what's next. Founded by Janelle (Nelle) Howell, a former corporate training and HR professional with 20+ years of experience and a Master's degree in Organizational Development and Leadership who designed her own strategic exit from corporate.

## Who This Is For

## Differentiation

Life Design with Nelle is NOT:

- Traditional life coaching (this focuses on strategic career and life design, not overcoming obstacles)

- Career counseling (this emphasizes design and strategic planning, not job placement)

- Generic advice to "network more" or "just find another job" (this emphasizes personalized and actionable tips specific to each individual)

This is for professionals who've outgrown their role or simply want to design their next 10-20 years strategically—not stumble into whatever comes next.

## Approach Philosophy

- Plan Before You Leap: Validate before committing

- Design, don't react: Strategic planning over impulsive moves

- Test Before You Invest: Small experiments before big changes

- Multiple viable paths: Design options, not single "right answer"
