Take Ownership of Your Career

The mid-career years bring exciting opportunities, along with new questions and uncertainties. That’s why we created this program to give you the time, space, and support to prioritize your career future.

Take Ownership of Your Career is a small group coaching program designed to help you take a proactive approach to your impact career.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You feel ready for a career change, but you’re unsure what you want next.

  • You’ve lost touch with what energizes you at work, and you want to rediscover that spark.

  • Your career so far has felt driven by chance, and you’re ready to take a  proactive and intentional approach to mapping out your career future.

  • Your life has changed in significant ways since your early career days, and you want to rethink your priorities and how work fits into your life. 

  • You’re satisfied in your current role for now, but you want more clarity on where you’re headed and your long-term career path.

If any of these resonate, you’re not alone!

Growing your career in the social impact sector can feel confusing, because there’s no one roadmap to doing purpose-driven work. And with the demands of your work, team, family, and the world, finding time to focus on your own career can be tough.

  • You’re working in or seeking to grow your impact in the social impact sector.

  • You’re committed to taking ownership of your career development.

Who It’s Not For

This program may not be the right fit for you if:

  • You have less than 15 or more than 30 years of work experience. 

  • You are actively seeking a new role or in need of more tactical job search strategies (please see our Career Transition coaching options instead).

  • You prefer individualized coaching rather than a group experience (please see our Career Clarity page for details on our 1:1 coaching program).

  • You would need to miss more than one group session; in this case, we encourage you to join us for a future round of the program.
