Welcome to the Career and Pre-Retirement Alignment Assessment

This assessment is designed to help you evaluate how closely your current work aligns with your natural aptitudes, personal values, and evolving sense of purpose.

Over time, most professionals experience shifts in motivation and direction as circumstances and priorities change. This brief assessment will help you understand where you are on that spectrum — whether you’re launching your career, seeking renewal in mid-career, or preparing for retirement.

The process is straightforward: respond to each statement as candidly as possible. When you finish, you’ll receive your alignment score along with a clear interpretation of what it represents.

Your results will highlight strengths, reveal areas ready for realignment, and offer a constructive starting point for deeper reflection or professional coaching.

Career & Pre-Retirement Alignment Guide

Are you at a career crossroads? I work with people who are launching a career, navigating a midlife career transition, or planning the next chapter before retirement. You don’t have to face uncertainty alone. Together, we’ll clarify your strengths and define a path forward with confidence.

The Career & Pre-Retirement Alignment Guide explains why career misalignment happens and how to correct it. It gives you a clear framework for understanding your natural abilities, personality, and values — and how they shape the environments where you perform at your best.

Inside the guide, you’ll learn:

  • Why misalignment appears at different stages of life

  • How aptitude and personality shape your career choices

  • Why certain roles energize you while others drain you

  • A structured approach to choosing the right direction

It offers simple, practical insight you can apply immediately — whether you’re choosing your first path or rethinking your next one.

Meet your coach


Gedaliah Wolosh, Ph.D. brings over twenty-five years of experience leading research computing at major universities, where he helped faculty, students, and research teams turn ideas into discovery. Trained as a chemist, his own career transformation—from laboratory science to advanced computing—was guided by the Rockport process more than two decades ago, a turning point that continues to shape his approach to coaching today.

Throughout his career, Gedaliah has worked closely with people at every stage of professional growth: mentoring students, supporting early-career researchers, and partnering with senior faculty on complex projects. As Director of High-Performance Computing, he led a team that built the university’s research computing infrastructure from the ground up—an effort requiring not just technical skill, but patience, collaboration, and a deep understanding of human motivation.

Now, as a Rockport-trained coach, he brings that same blend of analytical precision and human insight to his work with clients. Gedaliah helps individuals discover careers that align with their natural talents, values, and interests, and he guides those approaching or entering retirement through a thoughtful transition toward purpose and fulfillment. His coaching is both structured and compassionate—grounded in science, yet centered on people.

The Pathfinder Proccess

Every person is born with a unique combination of natural aptitudes, personality traits, and motivational patterns — the internal architecture that shapes how we think, learn, and solve problems.

The Pathfinder Aptitude Assessment, grounded in decades of research and the O’Connor studies, measures thirteen core cognitive aptitudes that reveal how your mind naturally approaches work, analysis, and communication. It also explores personality and motivation, providing a complete picture of both how you think and why you’re drawn to certain kinds of challenges.

When your career is aligned with these innate patterns, work feels natural, engaging, and sustainable. When it isn’t, frustration and self-doubt can arise — even in the most capable individuals.

The Pathfinder process helps you understand your personal strengths, limitations, and preferences through objective data and structured interpretation. By aligning your professional direction with your authentic abilities and temperament, you can make decisions with clarity and build a life that feels purposeful and genuinely well-fitted.

How it Works

  • 1. Clarify

    We begin with a 30-minute conversation to explore your background, goals, and what you most want from your work.

    This session builds self-understanding and defines the direction for our coaching relationship.

    There’s no cost or obligation — just a focused start toward clarity.

  • 2. Discover

    You’ll complete the Pathfinder Aptitude Assessment, designed to reveal how your mind naturally processes information, learns, and solves problems. It’s less like a traditional test and more like an exploration of your innate strengths.

    This combination of objective data and personal insight forms the foundation for every coaching decision that follows.

  • 3. Connect the Dots

    Together we interpret your results and link your abilities, values, and personal style.

    This step will help you detemine what truly fits and what does not.

  • 4. Design

    With clarity established, we identify realistic directions that align with who you are.

    Each option is measured against your goals, priorities, and lifestyle needs.

  • 5. Decide & Plan

    We refine your choices into a focused, actionable plan.

    By the end, you’ll know exactly what to pursue — and how to move forward with confidence.

Pre-Retirement Coaching

Retirement is not an ending — it’s a transition into a new and purposeful stage of life.

For many professionals, leaving a long career can bring an unexpected loss of structure, identity, and community. Work often provides meaning, direction, and connection — and without thoughtful preparation, those foundations can erode quickly.

My Pre-Retirement Coaching program helps you define what comes next with clarity and confidence. Using the Eight-Module Pre-Retirement Framework, we’ll explore your strengths, motivations, and values to design a new rhythm for your days and a plan for continued growth, contribution, and fulfillment.

This process ensures that leaving a job does not mean leaving productivity, purpose, or impact — it means channeling them into the next chapter of your life.
