Crafting
your
aligned
career

A course for women and folks of color who are ready for work experiences where they are supported to thrive.

Each one of us is on this planet to make a meaningful contribution and we often seek to do so in our body of work. We experience a greater sense of fulfillment when we are engaged with work that is aligned with our core values, with teams that acknowledges and supports our unique skills and experience, and with organizations that honor us and compensate us well for our contributions.

A challenge for women and folks of color can be when we experience work environments that are neither inclusive nor equitable. We feel a sense of disconnect from our colleagues, we become frustrated with limited opportunities for growth, we struggle to see how our work is making a positive impact on the world. And this impacts our lives outside of work. We experience higher degrees of stress, we are less present for our families and communities, and we are less likely to engage in creative or joyful pursuits.

Once we’ve had enough and are ready to find something else, many of us struggle with the job search process. We feel isolated and unsupported. We have a hard time seeing our gifts and talents, acknowledging our contributions, or finding ways to stand out from the other applicants.

what if you didn’t have to Navigate this process alone?

I invite you to join us for a 6-month journey where you will learn practical and eye-opening tools that you can apply to your life and to your job search process. Here, you will have the regular support of an ICF-certified coach and group of passionate, purpose-driven folks like you to take consistent and clear steps towards a vision of work that really lights you up.

IN THIS COURSE, YOU WILL:

  • Achieve greater clarity about the kind of work experience that truly excites and inspires you;

  • Learn tools to better understand your brain’s current response to worry and frustration and how to shift your attention so you can take more consistent and focused action in the job search process;

  • Connect with your core values to help you identify work environments that truly resonate with you;

  • Learn how to foster empowering and compassionate work environments so that you co-create the kind of team dynamic you’ve always wanted; and

  • Have dedicated coaching and community support in order to take these steps.

    You may even discover you’re having a little fun along the way!

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

  • A 1-hour Orientation Session

  • Twelve 2-hour community learning and coaching sessions
    With ample time for Q&A.

  • Real-time by video or phone (+ replays!)
    We’ll use the phone-friendly Zoom video platform.

  • Ongoing personalized support from a professionally certified career coach
    Ask anything, anytime via email, text, or in our WhatsApp channel.

  • Incredibly supportive community
    These are “your people”: kind, loving, eager to learn!

  • 1-on-1 "Study Buddy" (optional)
    Pair up with a fellow student for more ongoing support.

  • Lifetime access to course materials
    Slides, PDFs, video & audio recordings.

This sounds great! How do I know this is for me?

THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU, IF:

  • You are only looking for resume support;

  • You’re uncomfortable with group learning environments and prefer to do this work on your own;

  • You have all you need to connect with your ideal body of work;

  • You’d benefit from healing support (For example, if you are unable to look ahead, because you are really consumed by painful memories from the past.)

  • You need to miss more than three sessions (it’s important to us that you get the most out of our time together).

THIS MAY BE FOR YOU, IF:

  • You want to make a meaningful contribution through your work;

  • You want to applying for jobs more consistently and with greater ease;

  • You want to be part of a community that will cheer you on as you take steps towards your vision;

  • You want to consistently show up for your work as your favorite and most nourished version of yourself;

  • You are willing to see that taking this course is a courageous act of love for yourself and your community.
