Welcome to The Career Prism Network℠
When it comes to planning your future, we don't believe in guessing. Traditional advice often tells you to pick a job title that sounds impressive or a college major based on your favorite high school class. We've seen how this "cross your fingers" approach breeds anxiety and confusion. Instead, we treat designing your future as a clear, structured design project, and we work beside you through every part of it.
Our Career Strategists & Designers are seasoned professionals who've navigated complex career transitions themselves. We know firsthand what "the blur" feels like — the confusion, frustration, and indecision that come with it in today's workplace.
Because we've walked this path ourselves, we bring real empathy and lived experience to your design work. Our mission is simple: guide you out of exhaustion and into the career clarity you need to confidently design your future. We do this by auditing your unique G.E.M.S. — a holistic measure of your innate Genius (abilities) and Energy (personality), paired with your evolving Motives (values) and Sparks (interests).
We don't just hand you a computer-generated assessment and walk away. We add the vital human element — partnering with you to translate objective data into a clear, structured blueprint for your future.
Ray Giese, CCSP, MS | Founder & Career Strategist
Designing Your Future: Career Design & Financial Well Being
After a 40-year career spanning four distinct careers, seven industries, and more than fifteen job titles, Ray Giese knows firsthand that career change doesn't have to mean starting from scratch. That experience became the foundation for the Career Prism Method℠ and the reason he founded the Career Prism Network℠.
A Career Strategist and Certified Highlands Consultant, Ray treats career planning as a repeatable design process rather than a leap of faith — one that trades anxiety and confusion for a clear, purposeful path forward. He's also his own best case study: he used this exact approach to navigate his own pivots without losing the professional equity he'd spent decades building. The result is a career plan that doesn't just sound good on paper — it pays the bills and becomes a reliable economic engine.

Shamoon Ebrahimi, Ed.S. | Career Strategist
Transforming Academic Blur into Unshakeable Clarity
Shamoon Ebrahimi has spent over a decade in educational leadership and school counseling, and he's seen what happens when smart, capable students pick a college major with no real plan behind it. That's the gap he built Academic Assurance™ to close — giving teens data-driven career clarity and their parents real peace of mind before anyone signs off on $120,000+ in tuition.
What sets Shamoon's process apart is its precision: he uses objective assessment data — not conversation alone — to map a student's natural abilities directly to career paths and postsecondary goals that actually fit. The result is a plan grounded in evidence that a student can point to, not just a feeling they've landed somewhere right.

Stephanie Jalove, MA | Career Strategist
Aligning Natural Design with Professional Resilience
Stephanie knows career confusion and anxiety firsthand. She moved through entertainment, photo editing, real estate, and hospitality — building real skills along the way, but never landing on a clear answer to "what am I actually meant to be doing?" Finding that clarity for herself, using the same career design process, now drives everything she does for her clients.
Clarity is Stephanie's signature: not vague encouragement to "follow your passion," but a precise, evidence-based read on your innate abilities, personality, values, and interests — translated into strategies you can actually act on. As an ICF-Certified Coach and Certified Highlands Consultant, she works with seasoned professionals across tech, consulting, finance, and creative fields — showing you how you're wired so your energy stays fueled instead of drained, and burnout stops being the cost of your Adaptive Pivot™.

Jim Higgins, MA | Career Strategist
Navigating Transitions with Students & Young Professionals
Jim's path to career coaching wasn't a straight line — he's worked as a journalist, a consultant, a career coach, and a school counselor, and that range shows up in how he works with people. He guides high school students, college students, recent graduates, and their families in turning scattered skills, interests, and abilities into a clear, actionable Career Design Blueprint™.
As a Certified Highlands Consultant, Jim starts with who you actually are — your natural abilities and what matters to you — not a list of trending jobs or someone else's idea of the right path. Where his journalist instincts show up most is in the process itself: he asks good questions, listens past the obvious answer, and gives you room to actually explore before deciding what's next. The result isn't a path picked for you — it's one you arrive at yourself, with evidence behind it.
