NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Al Adamsen

Like many, I struggled with launching my career. I graduated with a mountain of debt and no job, no clear direction, and huge anxiety about how I was going to pay back the debt.  Such were the times.  Fast forward, as a parent, business leader, researcher, and leadership and career coach, I've seen better ways.  This is what Livelihood.io is all about: creating a better way for students, early career professionals, and those in career transition to consciously craft their careers.  Please look around, take what'll be of value to you, and engage in the community and its resources and experiences to the extent you deem appropriate.  In the end, do what's right for you, and please go out and make some great things happen!

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Aiv Adamsen

I’m the Media Manager at Livelihood and an undergraduate student of Chemistry. I find my studies deeply fulfilling, but I often navigate the intense anxiety that comes with imagining an uncertain future in a rapidly changing world. That experience inspired me and my dad to co-create Livelihood, a space for people like me — those seeking direction, structure, and peace amid the flux.

Through the PAD Framework, I’ve found a steady handhold: a way to reflect, assess, and plan with clarity. I believe in learning as a lifelong process, and I’m committed to helping others find joy and stability in their own paths forward.

We are committed to your livelihood!

In this age of unprecedented development, the workforce is changing so rapidly that it can feel impossible to grasp. In this uncertainty, you are not alone!  

We have made it our mission to provide you with a clear path to understanding your individual strengths, growth opportunities, and what you have to offer.

The PAD Framework Experience will lead you through a series of exercises focused on the following dimensions: skills, behaviors, experience, education, activities, relationships, accomplishments, intentions, financial needs, and lifestyle. By assessing yourself in all of these categories in your Current State and envisioning what your Future State will be, the PAD Framework provides an organized method by which to plan your future development.
