Career Ecology in Action
Turn on authentic relating at every touch point!

#1 Resume
responsive
It all starts with you, and the telling of your unique story.
To do that, you must evolve. Today's resume designs are relics of the industrial age. They widgetize and inhibit authentic expression. They box you in.
In Career Ecology, you'll build a Responsive Resume which is born out of 20 years of Executive Recruitment experience, and is designed to masterfully tune into how humans connect and respond.
Your state-of-the-art resume will be both technically precise in how it serves the employer's needs upfront (and throughout), as well as how it's powered to showcase your talents, skills, and desires for the reader.
You will now own and master this skill – for the rest of your life. And you will be the master of your own destiny.
#3 Networking
intentional
Next, it's time to get your networking groove on. This is the fun part!
Optimizing your job search means intentionally waking up your professional and personal ecosystem of support.
Your Intentional Network includes your circle of personal and professional friends, LinkedIn, recruiters, new connections made at meet-up events, mentors, family, and chance.
Bring it all alive, and keep it alive – and stay connected the rest of your life.
#2 Search
dynamic
Once you've thoroughly plumbed and expressed your story and desires via the Responsive Resume, it's then time to go 'dynamic' with your job search strategy and mindset.
Dynamic Search teaches a three-fold design that opens the door to collaboration with chance and creative outcomes.
Dynamic Search incorporates the practical and poetics of the job search, which includes a deep look at what makes you tick – your personal human blueprint.
Lastly, this portion of the Career Ecology includes setting an intentional search rhythm and wellness plan that supports your life force and builds resilience for the challenging journey ahead.
Match to where you belong!
#4 Interviewing
authentic
The final skill to master is the actual interview – the moment of direct collaboration with the hiring manager.
In Career Ecology you'll learn the truth about job interviewing ––> it's not a performance, it's a service. It's a liberation of the real YOU!
Authentic Interviewing is an approach and mindset that builds on authentic relating, all for the purpose of building trust, connection, and job offers.
It's time to set your mind at ease, power attraction, and never feel performance anxiety again!
Online + Live Support
Go at your own pace with continuous support.
HOW DOES CAREER ECOLOGY WORK? Once you join, you will be granted access to the online learning platform plus weekly live Zoom Rooms for guidance and networking, Responsive Resume, Dynamic Search, Intentional Network, and Relational Interviewing. The class begins with Responsive Resume, where you'll be guided into the work of plumbing your story and building your own Responsive Resume. Guidance is held in the Zooms, as well as one on one support is available on an hourly basis by certified editors, as needed (extra fee). Your membership into Career Ecology is open for a full year, giving you ample time to progress, apply, learn and grow.
HOW DO I ENGAGE? Once you join Career Ecology, you will be guided to engage the platform of learning by logging in and clicking on "My Career Ecology". Start with "We Begin Here" and the rest flows beautifully from there!
WHAT IF I CAN'T ATTEND LIVE TRAININGS? There are two good options should you have scheduling conflicts: 1) Live office hours and trainings are held weekly, so if one week doesn't work with your schedule you can drop in the next week. 2) Videos of the trainings are available in the program for viewing anytime.
HOW DO I MAINTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY? We understand that planning a career change is a big decision that often needs to remain private from employers and colleagues. Your membership to Career Ecology is confidential and closed. By joining Career Ecology's private LinkedIn Group, your identity will be public, but you can control how you engage and what you want to share. Of course, if you are in between jobs, we recommend engaging openly so networking opportunities are maximized. When attending a live office hour or training on Zoom, you have the option of hiding your identity (instructions are provided in the program notes adjacent Zoom registrations for how to go incognito).
WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT? Go at your own pace. You have full access to Career Ecology for a full year. Part of Career Ecology is establishing a rythym for direct engagement in your search. While Lori is a constant source of mentorship and encouragement, ultimately you set your own clock and timelines.
HOW CAN I RESOLVED QUESTIONS? We are here for you! Each week, Lori is available live per program for 1.5 hours each. Any questions that do not get answered in the live training and have been entered into the chat will be answered and shared back in the Career Ecology LinkedIn Group and via email.
Meet Your Mentor
I'm Lori Wallace, founder of Career Ecology and mentor every step of the way. It is my honor to bring you a system of relational intelligence born out of two decades of in-depth Executive Recruitment and Agency Ownership experience, plus education in Relational Intelligence. Serving the aspirations of leading health systems and highly skilled new graduates to CEO's, I've devoted my work to the liberation of human beings. The world needs each person here living their unique genius.
Through years of intense work and observation, I've learned what's behind both the joy and deep pain of the job/talent search experience – and it's this, authenticity. Without it, skill and fit cannot be properly expressed, nor trusted. Everyone suffers.
Career Ecology brings a powerful solution shaped by professional mastery and the studied heart-mind integration, and its impact on empowerment and wellbeing. I look forward to supporting you on your journey – should you choose self liberation and limitless success.

What people are saying.
Andrew Carothers, CCXP
The Responsive Resume gave me an effective and unique way to put my best foot forward to potential employers. Based on years of recruiting experience, its structure is shining a bright spotlight on what employers care most about: impact you’ve made in your career, work experience, and skills in a single glance. It also allows me room for lots of keyword optimization, which is vital for getting noticed by recruiters. Plus, its visually appealing style makes you stand out at first glance. I couldn’t be happier with the results!
Navigating job change is the modern day hero's journey.
