When to book this call

You have a question. You need a second pair of eyes.

This is the place to step back and look at the bigger picture: who you are, what you want, and the path to get there. Whether that is your next career move or the business you want to build.

01

You are at a crossroads

A decision about your direction is in front of you. Stay or move, employ or build, play safe or back yourself. Talk it through with someone who has navigated it.

02

You feel undervalued

You know you are capable of more than your current title or situation reflects. Let us look at where you are really meant to be, and how to get there.

03

You want to build something

A career idea, a side project, a business taking shape. You want to test the thinking with someone who has built from the ground up and ask what to do next.

Wherever you are, the point is the same: to leave seeing yourself and your direction more clearly than when you arrived.

What the conversation looks like

No small talk. Straight to the thing.

Bring whatever is on your mind, big or small. The point is to step back, see your direction clearly, and leave with a sense of the way forward. Here is how it runs.

01
0–3 MIN

Where you are now

You tell Aneal where you are and what you are weighing up. Your career, your business, the version of yourself you are reaching for. He listens first.

02
3–12 MIN

See it more clearly

Aneal reflects back what he hears and thinks out loud with you. Where your strengths point, what is really holding you back, what the path forward could look like. You push back on anything that does not ring true.

03
12–15 MIN

A clear way forward

You leave with a clearer sense of your direction and a real next step toward it. If it helps, Aneal follows up by email with the key points. That is it.

Aneal gave me a thought process that changed the way I think. The result was I landed my most recent role. It was only a couple of brief conversations, and to me it was gold.

I came in with a specific question about a counteroffer and walked away with a straight answer. He did not waste a minute. I made the decision that day.

Aneal Birdi

You will be talking with Aneal Birdi, founder of CareerVive, who spent over a decade in investment banking including building the Goldman Sachs operation in Poland from the ground up. He has had thousands of these conversations. This call is exactly what it says. One question, one honest answer, and your time respected. It is Aneal on the line, every time.

Common questions

A few things worth knowing.

Is this really free?+
Yes. No card, no catch. Aneal does these because if the conversation lands, some people come back for something more. And if it does not, you have had fifteen minutes of clear thinking and you move on.
How is this different from the longer chat?+
The longer chat on Let’s talk is for exploring when you are not yet sure what you want. This fifteen-minute call is phone only, built for when you already know the question. One block, one straight answer.
Do I need to send my CV or prepare anything?+
No. This call does not need context. It needs your one question. If the right next step turns out to be a deeper look at your CV or positioning, you can arrange that separately.
What if my question is bigger than fifteen minutes?+
Aneal will tell you that at the start. You will get the most value possible in the fifteen, and he will point you to the right next conversation. No pressure either way.
Who is actually on the call?+
Aneal Birdi, founder of CareerVive. Every call, every time. If Aneal is the reason you are booking, Aneal is the person who answers.
Ready when you are

Fifteen minutes. One clear answer.

Pick a time that works. Aneal will meet you on Microsoft Teams. You will leave seeing yourself, and your direction, more clearly.
