A Framework Built to Move You Forward
After working with hundreds of career coaching clients, Dr. Tracy Shroyer developed the 4C Framework to help you move from uncertainty to clarity, and build a career aligned with your goals and values. This framework is designed to meet you where you are and guide your next step with confidence.
At its core, the 4C Framework is grounded in values that matter, transparency, courage, empathy, and wisdom, and helps you grow through every phase of your journey.
CLARIFY
Let curiosity guide you to clarity and confidence.
This stage is about gaining clear direction, so you can make confident, intentional decisions about what’s next, whether you’re exploring new roles, shifting careers, or simply ready for more alignment.
COMMUNICATE
Here’s where courage
meets strategy.
You’ll learn how to articulate your value, tell your story, and present your experience in a way that truly resonates, whether in a resume, interview, or conversation.
CONNECT
Growth happens in community,
not isolation.
This phase centers on building authentic relationships rooted in empathy and vulnerability, whether you’re networking, collaborating, or leading.
CULTIVATE
Sustained growth requires wisdom, reflection, and adaptability.
In this final phase, you’ll develop the mindset and tools to continue learning, evolving, and showing up fully — both in your career and your life.

her own experiences.
