Our Specialities

Passion-Based "Life Compass" Sessions

We offer personalized one-on-one sessions where the focus is not just on career advice but on ‘life direction’. These sessions would combine deep personal conversations to uncover the student’s unique “Life Compass”—a set of guiding values, passions, and natural strengths ensuring the choice aligns with the student’s authentic self.

Passions into careers

Rather than starting with “what job can you do?”, PassionUp would start with “what do you love to do?” We then explore practical ways to make that passion into a career. The process is emotionally driven and based on creating a career that sparks joy.

Exploring career beyond 'generic' paths

Many students struggle with abstract career advices. Instead of pushing students toward generic paths, we explore non-traditional and unique career pathways, for students who have unique abilities and orientations.  students are encouraged to think beyond the typical “doctor, lawyer, engineer” roles. We at passionUp feel this is of paramount importance because many students feel boxed into traditional career paths. PassionUp would help them discover the vast array of unconventional career options out there.  It would challenge societal norms and encourage students to define success on their own terms.

Family-Centered Career Coaching

Many career decisions are impacted by family dynamics and vice versa. We involve family discussions on career choices, ensuring alignment between the student’s aspirations and family expectations. Career counselling services often don’t address the tension between parent expectations and student desires. PassionUp would take the time to facilitate genuine dialogue between parents and students, helping them navigate difficult conversations and find common ground. This approach would significantly reduce stress and anxiety around career decisions.
