Most professionals don’t intentionally design their careers—they react to layoffs, titles, and market shifts as they happen. In this episode of Making It, career coach and former recruiter Chris Morga explains to host Michi why career drift is so common, how AI is reshaping career strategy, and what it really means to work by design instead of default.

Guest Bio:

Chris Morga is a certified professional career coach, U.S. Navy veteran, and former senior talent leader with over 20 years of experience inside hiring, recruiting, and workforce strategy. He's worked with global organizations like Cisco, Dow Jones, and Capital One, giving him a behind-the-scenes view of how careers actually move forward and why so many people get stuck.

After experiencing a layoff himself, Chris began focusing less on job chasing and more on career design. His work now centers on helping mid-career professionals build clarity, structure, and momentum in their work lives using practical systems instead of hype or hustle culture.

Chris is the creator of the Work by Design philosophy, which blends career strategy, productivity systems, and modern workforce thinking to help people make better decisions about their careers and income over time. His perspective is especially valuable for professionals navigating change, burnout, or transitions in an increasingly unstable job market.
