How the maps work

From a short questionnaire to a map of your moment.

The Quick Map, to start

You answer four questions, in 2 or 3 minutes, about what you've lived through these last few weeks. You get your starting position, an orientation and a guide from the library for this week. It's free and doesn't ask you to register.

The Full Map, to go deeper

It's paid. An 11-question questionnaire (10 to 15 minutes) gives you a private reading of your moment, a Canvas (a one-page worksheet already filled in from your reading) and a 14-day guide with one small step a day. After you pay, access arrives by email, in a private link.

The library, for one small step

Short, free guides, each for one concrete move: pausing before you decide, carrying a little less, asking for a conversation, trying something small. You can read them without doing any map.

The PDF guides, for people who support someone

Three paid guides, longer than the library's, for people who have someone close going through a career change: one for supporting someone (family, partner, friend), one for people who lead others, and one for coaches and mentors. Each has a free sample on its page. You pay once and the download arrives by email, in a private link. They are all on Guides.

What a map is (and isn't)

A map doesn't tell you what to do, doesn't label you, doesn't predict your future, and doesn't replace the professional you may need (therapist, doctor, lawyer or financial advisor).

A map does show you where you are, puts words to what may be going on, gives structure where there was confusion, and leaves the decision to you, with more clarity than before.

What it covers today

Proa Nova started with career transitions. Other important changes in life will come later, once their research is mature.

Research behind it

The maps are built on published research on how people go through transitions, grief and identity change. About the method has the sources and the limitations, stated plainly.
