Over an individual’s life, the three parameters shift, with one parameter moving to the foreground and intensifying in strength as it takes priority at that time. One parameter, however, usually takes priority this parameter has greater influence in shaping an individual’s career decisions or transitions at that point in time. All three parameters are always active throughout the life span, and all influence decision-making. Challenge includes career advancement, often measured as intrinsic or extrinsic success. Challenge is an individual’s need for stimulating work that is high in responsibility, control, and/or autonomy. Nonwork life aspects are defined broadly to include not only spouse/partners and children but also parents, siblings, elderly relatives, friends, the community, personal interests, and hobbies. Balance is an individual’s need to achieve an equilibrium between the work and nonwork aspects of life. People seek alignment between their values and their behaviors. Authenticity is an individual’s need to make choices that reflect their true self. The ABCs of the KCM are authenticity, balance, and challenge. Individuals examine the choices and options available to create the best fit among various work demands, constraints, and opportunities given their personal values and interests. As a kaleidoscope produces changing patterns when its tube is rotated and its glass chips fall into new arrangements, the KCM describes how individuals change the pattern of their careers by rotating the varied aspects of their lives to arrange their work–nonwork roles and relationships in new ways. The metaphor of a kaleidoscope was used to describe how an individual’s career alters in response to alternating needs for authenticity, balance, and challenge within a changing internal and external life context.

With just a cardboard tube, some tinfoil, and coloured beads you can #DIY.The kaleidoscope career model (KCM) was developed by Mainiero and Sullivan in 2006 based on data from interviews, focus groups, and three surveys of over 3,000 professionals working in the United States.This triangular shaped kaleidoscope is unusual as uses a fibre optic light source with a rotating coloured disc to form the changing colours and patterns. Make sure to look through the Fibre Optic Kaleidoscope on the 5th floor.Our Kaleido-Draw on the 4th floor lets you control the fun to create your own unique, symmetrical patterns.The first is our Giant Kaleidosphere, which uses mirrors, lights and coloured patters to created continually changing and engaging patterns and shapes. We’ve several versions of kaleidoscopes at Camera Obscura.Cozy wrote six books about kaleidoscopes and curated the world’s first kaleidoscope exhibition.
