When can I start, what’s included, and what is the investment?

I’m already experiencing symptoms of burnout. Can this seminar be helpful even if I’m feeling demoralized and tired?

This series is intentionally designed to meet you where you are. Whether you are proactively considering a shift at work or feel like a change is inevitable, this series offers you the psychological insights, practical tools and group support you need to build momentum starting from wherever you are. Our model allows you to go at your own pace and focus on the aspects that are most valuable to you. Take the path that makes the most sense for you, knowing that you are well supported and don’t have to go it alone.

I’m not wanting to change my career field, just unsure how to find my inspiration again. Can this help me?

This series helps you discern your inspiring future goal, whether that’s a different career, a different job in your current field, or even staying within the same organization. The key is to put your finger on what needs to change in order to ignite whatever shift is most meaningful for you.

I’m self-employed. Can this help me discern my next move?

Our program is designed to help you get clarity, inspiration, and practical steps in whatever professional setting you are in. All of the exercises can be easily applied to your own circumstances and needs.

What skills are needed to participate?

The program does not assume that you have experience with career planning or psychology. Of course, anything you already know about your personality, values, and job satisfaction will only be helpful.

What will it mean to be part of the group? What are the expectations for the participants?

The benefits of being part of any group include the ability to share ideas, get support, and learn from each other. We will be asking that all members participate with their cameras on, and engage to the fullest extent that they feel comfortable.

Will this be anything like group therapy?

This will be a professional seminar designed to help each participant maximize their professional opportunities, whereas group therapy typically focuses on overcoming specific relational or psychological conditions. With such different objectives, this seminar will be very different from group therapy. You will not be required to share your feelings with the group or spend lots of time exploring your relationships with other group members. However, there are some powerful psychological resources that we intend to borrow from group dynamics: we know that being supported and understood by a like-minded group gives each of us a greater resilience against hardships. We know that words of support from others help us find greater courage and strength, and speaking about our stuck places with others can help us sort out our next steps. These elements of group dynamics, which can show up in group therapy, can be helpful to reach the objectives of our seminar.
