The Change Your Career Program
Life is too short to hate Mondays!
The hard part is figuring out where to start! How do you get from where you are now to where you want to be (and how do you figure out where that is anyway)?
For most of us, taking a giant leap into the unknown isn't an attractive option...
Who wants to make a career change that could leave you broke, struggling and stressed?
Unfortunately, that's the myth being sold right now: To find work you love, you must throw caution (and common sense) to the wind and say "screw it" to your finances.
If you just felt your heart sink, you're not alone. Yes, there are tales out there of people who did exactly that and succeeded (at least, according to Facebook). Unfortunately, there are even more real-life stories about people who tried it, failed in a matter of months and then ended up back at jobs that they hate, after draining their savings accounts.
You want your career change to make you feel FULFILLED, not more frustrated!
The most important thing I've learned over the past 8 years as I've worked with a variety of clients struggling to make the leap from security to satisfaction is:
It is absolutely possible to make a Career Change, and to do it in a way that feels good to you!
I believe that each area of your life should feel satisfying, including your work!
In 2008, I realized that I wasn't getting the fulfillment I was looking for out of my current career path, even though I enjoyed it (for the most part) and was very successful. I spent the next two years exploring, researching and outlining what I wanted from my life and came up with a plan to get there.
Now, I work with clients at all stages of the journey (from early-career to retirement) on creating that same level of satisfaction in their lives and careers.
I created the Change Your Career program to simplify the process, eliminate the feelings of overwhelm that hold most of us back and to help you start living the most satisfying version of your life.
The Change Your Career program will help you:
In addition to worksheets, videos and step-by-step action plans, the Change Your Career Program ALSO helps you manage all the emotions that come with feeling stuck, navigating change and making confident decisions. This is more than just a career class - you'll learn valuable life skills to apply to future changes you want to make!
These are the same mindfulness tools my private clients use to keep their lives & career moving forward every single day. No, you don't have to meditate for 3 hours every day to use these tools (unless you want to)!
If you're wondering if this course can help you make changes you want in your specific situation, here are just a few examples of the transitions our clients have made using this material:
Every person in this class is working their own path. The course will help you map the next steps in your journey and create the skills sets you need to consistently make the positive & conscious choices that will continue to lead you forward. So whether you decide to relocate, go back to school or just make a few adjustments to your current direction, you'll be able to feel confident making decisions for your future.
Each module has been designed to take you through the process in the most natural way possible, giving you time to do the research, make decisions, address challenges and set yourself up for a successful transition. Modules take between 1-3 hours to complete, on average, and past students have told us they set aside between 2-4 hours each week to work on the course.
We'll also clearly outline the following important points as you start every section, so you can budget your time & energy accordingly!
The Change Your Career Course Modules include:
Module One: Creating Clarity & Vision
The natural place to start is where you are now and then map a path forward. You'll use your past & current experience to uncover your true desires, create a priority list for your next job and we'll introduce mindfulness strategies to hone your future intentions and clarify your vision.
Module Two: Identifying & Breaking Through Blocks
Feeling stuck is the opposite of fun. During this module, you'll learn strategies for recognizing and breaking through common blocks that you can use over and over as you address change-related challenges (in any area of your life).
Module Three: Setting Direction & Decision Making
After creating clarity around your vision and beginning work on your blocks, the next step is to determine scope of focus for your career change. In this module, we lay the foundation for conscious decision-making that leads you into a confidence-filled future. With your new direction in hand, you'll start to map the route to your future!
Module Four: Building Your Network & Your Skill Sets
Once you've determined a direction, it's time to start creating the foundation you need for a successful transition. This starts with simultaneously creating a strong network and enhancing specific skill sets.
Module Five: Effective Action Planning & Successful Goal-Setting
An action plan is so much more than goal setting and to-do lists (though we use those too)! You'll take all the information from the first 4 modules to create a strategy based on knowledge, research and clarity. Then, we'll go beyond traditional goals to set intentions based on your underlying values & emotions (aka the things that help you create success)! During this module, you'll learn to utilize your connections to build your career path and create a strategic pathway that uses your current skills to navigate to the next step.
Module Six: Creating Your Intentional Exit Strategy
Once you've done all the work and have an action plan, it's time to start plotting your escape! A good exit strategy lets you plan a graceful departure and helps you leave with all the $$ and benefits you've earned. This is the KEY final step in a successful Career Change!
Your Bonus Online Modules include:
- The Career & Values Assessment
- Break Out of Your Comfort Zone
- Mindfulness for Real Life
- Mindfulness for Social Media
- How to Make More Confident Decisions
All this adds up to career change activation, with plenty of accountability and lots of motivation!
Once you've invested years in a career path, it can feel really, really scary to change!
What happens to all your experience? Do you have to start from scratch?
The short answer is no! And the long answer is exactly what we cover in this course.
It may not be realistic for you to hand in your notice tomorrow, but it is 100% possible to start working toward a positive career change today!
The longer you wait to start the process, the longer it will take to start experiencing a fulfilling career. Join me outside of that unsatisfying "comfort zone" and learn how good Monday mornings can feel (really, it can happen).
