Welcome to Intentional Career by Design for Social Workers! In March 2020, I stood in my office, gazing beyond my manager as her words faded away, my attention drawn to the breathtaking view of the grounds I had called my workplace for eight years. This was the job I'd retire from, surrounded brilliant colleagues with the grand sendoff party for which our department was known. On that fateful day,
as I was asked about a personal laptop and instructed to go home, I knew I could never return to the conventional 9-to-5 grind. Driving home, the realization struck me like a lightning bolt—it was time to transition from the role of a 'good and faithful' employee, but to who/what? Fast forward two years, and I've emerged as the CEO of my own six-figure business, making a profound impact as a social worker. Working just two days a week, I've discovered a newfound freedom that goes beyond the boundaries of a traditional career. Now, my mission is clear—to empower fellow social workers who are teetering on the brink of burnout. Like many social workers, I hadn't fully explored how my education and career experiences positioned me to reimagine my skills and talents. Since March 2020, I meticulously planned and developed three pillars for the career I had always envisioned:
1) Self-pay clients ~

financial freedom. https://www.kateusaj.com/IntentionalCareerByDesign
