Why this work exists and who's behind it.
Hi, I'm Scott, Founder of Cgility.
I didn't come to this work from a straight path.
I spent years working in ambiguous, loosely defined roles, where success depended less on job descriptions and more on understanding how value actually moved through a system. Expectations weren't always clear. Progress depended as much on judgment as skill.
At first, I thought that was just my experience.
Then I started mentoring people.
What I Kept Hearing
The Same Questions, Over and Over
Students finishing humanities degrees. Generalists who couldn't explain what they were "for." Liberal arts majors who'd been asked "but what will you do with that?" so many times, they started to believe they'd made a mistake. New grads are six months into their first job, still feeling lost.
They weren't asking for skills. They were asking:
- "What am I actually supposed to focus on?"
- "How do I talk about what I bring when it's not a hard skill?"
- "How do I show up without pretending to be someone else?"
That's when I realized: what I had learned to do out of necessity β orient myself in unclear systems β was exactly what they were missing.
Not confidence. Not capability.
Orientation.
The Gap
The Step We Skipped
Most career prep assumes you have something concrete to point to. A skill. A credential. A clear professional identity.
Humanities majors and generalists don't. And new grads often realize too late that no one taught them how to find their footing.
Cgility exists to give them the step that comes before: language for how they create value, regardless of title or technical skill.
A Closing Thought
This Isn't About Fixing People
It's about restoring a step we quietly skipped.
If you want to talk about how North might fit what you're building or if you just want to share what you're seeing with students, generalists, or new grads, I'm easy to reach.
