Why we created the Aspire Career Designer
LH Agenda CEO and founder, Kasia Gospos, has worked with many women who have paved their own pathway (having climbed the corporate ladder herself AND created an award-winning business).
However, since the inception of LH Agenda, so many incredibly talented and hard-working women have reached out with confusion around career progression, direction and what makes a viable employment opportunity. Seeing the difference that coaching tools made in these situations made the Aspire Career Designer a must-have in our planner collection.

Aspire FAQ
What is the difference between Aspire Career Designer and Make Your Mark self-coaching journal?
Think of the Aspire Career Designer as a deep dive into building your career, while the Make Your Mark self-coaching journal zooms out to explore your confidence, goals, work and life habits as a whole.
The Aspire Career Designer leads you to setting a vision and roadmap for your career, and then engaging the skills, mentors, and development required to get there. It includes career, business and leadership related tips/exercises.
The Make Your Mark self-coaching journal is designed to help you develop key leadership traits of passion, creativity, innovation, confidence, determination and kindness. It draws on content such as visualisation, defining your values, discovering strengths and passions, gratitude, mindfulness, confidence and goal setting. It’s a resource for life and fulfillment that includes your career rather than singularly focused on career.

Anonymous (Verified Buyer) –
If you got the “Make your Mark” journal and am wondering if you should get this, my position is that this journal is different enough, more practical and action-focused and thus, pretty worth it. I prefer it over “Make your Mark” because it is more focused. Still, I’m not too keen on the size!

Great journal!

Listen, if you feel like you are not doing anything you need this journal just to help you see how much you are doing! AND what a fantastic tool to have with you if/when you are doing interviews or preparing to interview folks to hire. Really just a great resource to know your work-self a bit better.
