About Aligned Work
Hey, I’m Mark, founder and CEO of Aligned Work.
I spent years searching for the right role, feeling capable but consistently misaligned in my work. I often found myself wondering what I actually wanted and why each new opportunity failed to feel like the right fit.
Like many people, I chased titles and opportunities that looked good on paper, assuming clarity would follow. Instead, I kept running into the same pattern. I was capable, but the work never quite fit.
I eventually came across CliftonStrengths, not as a personality test, but as a way to understand how I naturally think, decide, and do my best work. When I stopped treating it as a label and started using it as a decision lens, my career choices became clearer.
Aligned Work grew out of that shift.
The Career Alignment Framework is how I now help others use their strengths to evaluate fit, make better career decisions, and move forward without guesswork or pressure.
This work is about alignment, not perfection. It’s designed to be reused, not outgrown.
