Your constellation
“The pattern becomes visible when you connect the parts of yourself that matter.”
The whole constellation
Clarity comes from connecting the dots.
We look at the full picture, connecting the parts of your experience that traditional career advice often leaves out.
Strengths
What capacities do you want to use and grow?
Energy
What lights you up—and what depletes you?
Needs
What conditions help you feel safe and supported?
Possibilities
What might be worth exploring next?
Whole life
How can work serve the life you want to lead?
The Constellation Framework
Center what matters. Explore the unknown.
Career exploration is an unfolding process. Each conversation helps you see the pattern more clearly.
Center
Begin with your life as it is now—your needs, identities, responsibilities, and hopes.
Connect
Name the values, strengths, interests, and conditions that help you feel most like yourself.
Imagine
Open up possible directions without demanding an immediate or perfect answer.
Experiment
Learn through small, practical tests: conversations, research, reflection, and real experiences.
Navigate
Use what you discover to choose a thoughtful next step—and keep adjusting as you grow.
Ways to work together
Start with what matters.
Build the support you need.
Career exploration is at the heart of this work. From there, we can tailor your coaching around the practical tools and moments that will help you move forward.

Client constellations
Real people.
Meaningful direction.
Career clarity looks different for everyone. These clients found direction, confidence, and practical next steps through their work with Grace.
“With Grace's guidance and experience, I landed a position as a mechanical engineer with a high-profile utility. Grace sent me practice interview questions centered on the job description and helped pinpoint pitfalls in my resume. Without Grace's help, I would have struggled through the interview process.”
“Grace's personalized approach helped me uncover my strengths. She was with me every step of the way—from setting goals to guiding me through applications and interviews. By truly understanding me, she made me realize that a career in B2B sales was the right path for me. I now feel more confident in my career direction.”
“Grace is very welcoming, patient, and professional. She encouraged me, exceeded expectations, and helped me find confidence in my job search. Her questions, guidance, and realistic perspective gave my scattered brain direction and actionable steps. I'm so grateful for how she invested in my success.”
“Grace helped me upgrade my resume by making it look more professional and appealing to potential employers. In our first meeting, she asked about my expectations and goals and what I consider important in life. She wanted to make sure I would get a job that made me feel happy. Having the opportunity to talk about work and quality of life with her was a big plus to this experience. After defining what I wanted to achieve, she helped me highlight my strengths and achievements and summarize the most relevant aspects of my experience with examples and valuable measurements. She was very helpful and supportive throughout the process of rewriting my resume, applying for positions that fit my expectations, and preparing for interviews. I am very grateful for her support and encouragement!”

Constellations
Three active branches of one evolving career—connected by the work that has always mattered to me.
Hi, I’m Grace Tissell
You carry more light and wisdom than you realize—and I’m here to help you see it!
I’m a career coach and HR professional who helps people reconnect with their clarity, creativity, power, and worth. Career transitions and job searches can make even the most capable person question themselves. My role isn’t to hand you someone else’s map—it’s to help you quiet the noise, listen to your own inner wisdom, and recognize the strengths and possibilities that are already there.
Career coaching first sparked something in me nearly a decade ago. Since then, I’ve supported friends, family, and members of my local community as they explored new directions and found language for what they wanted next. Career Constellations is a passion project I’m growing alongside my continued work in HR and organizational development. It brings together what has consistently lit me up across my career: helping people recognize their strengths, navigate change, and move toward work that feels more aligned.
Alongside that community-rooted coaching experience, I bring more than eight years of progressive HR experience across talent development and employee experience. I understand how hiring systems work and what decision-makers look for, but I’m most interested in helping you show up as your most authentic self—not asking you to become someone else to succeed. Together, we’ll connect your values, strengths, needs, and hopes; explore what feels alive; and turn what you discover into meaningful, practical steps.
My approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and inclusive. We’ll move with curiosity, center your agency, and honor the experiences and identities shaping your choices. You deserve work that recognizes your humanity—and a career where you have room to shine brightly.
