Centerpoint Institute

We are the leading Center for Life and Career Renewal in the Pacific Northwest.

Our mission... is to inspire people to discover creativity, passion,

and renewed commitment in life and at work.

Would you like to look forward to Monday again?

Founded in 1992, Centerpoint Institute for Life and Career Renewal is an educational, not-for-profit organization dedicated to changing the way we live and work... because life isn't linear! We offer workshops, resources, and support to guide you and your employees through any stage of the career process including:

Discovering what you want to do "when you grow up" — or your next career
Helping with the actual job search process including brushing up your resume or networking skills
Sharing tips on effective career management

Our Unique Niche

Our unique niche is helping people find the work they love and create ways to balance that work with the rest of their lives. The process of finding that direction doesn't begin with a resume or looking at the want ads or job postings. It starts by looking inside yourself — at your hopes, dreams, interests and abilities.

We believe that everyone deserves to find work they can love. People can't help but be successful when they're doing something that is fulfilling, stimulating and meaningful.

You're Not Alone

Working through the career process can be isolating. Friends and family want to help. They may offer ideas and solutions, but often that's not what you really need to move ahead. You need support and resources and that's what we're all about.

So if you've read all the books on choosing a career and you still don't know exactly what you want to do, you've come to the right place. We can help. Go to Getting Started to get started right now.

Look forward to Monday again! ™
