Decision consultant

At Labour Lens, we believe that career decisions should align with your values, not society’s expectations. In a world that often pressures us to follow a predefined path, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed—especially when the journey isn’t linear. But meaningful decisions are rarely straightforward, and that’s what makes them powerful opportunities for growth.

Our mission is to challenge the stigma around non-linear careers and empower you to define success on your own terms. Choosing a path that reflects who you are isn’t a failure—it’s a bold step toward fulfillment. Through one-on-one consulting, we’re here to provide the clarity and confidence you need to navigate your career with purpose and pursue what truly matters to you.

about me

Hi, I’m Carlijn and my journey has been anything but linear.

I’ve explored diverse paths, starting in the film industry with VICE, then managing a dive center in Egypt, and later pursuing a career in labour law and communications, including press at the European Commission. Each step has shown me that the traditional corporate ladder isn’t the only way to find career fulfillment.

I believe in the power of transferable skills and that it’s entirely possible to switch careers—whether you want to be a chef, a writer, or even a professor. What matters is finding the strength to make tough decisions, empowerment in your choices and embracing the freedom to pursue what truly makes you happy.

I’m here to help you find clarity in your own decisions and break free from the pressures of conformity.

Life is too short to feel stuck
