The program not only equips you with valuable strategies but also fosters a strong sense of community.

“Krista and Andy merge traditional coaching with tools from psychotherapy and created this wonderful balance between the practical and the emotional. My cohort members were rooting for one another, asking questions and offering alternate ways of seeing the challenges each group member was facing. I walked away with so many insightful nuggets that have helped me reframe how I think about my job."

About Krista
Andy successfully made the shift at 38 years old into his rewarding and inspiring career as a professional psychotherapist who has helped hundreds of clients move beyond their stuck places over the last 15 years.
About AndyOur first collaboration began at the Habitat for Humanity cabinet shop in Americus, Georgia. We recognized in one another the same passion to live a life of purpose and meaning—and hours spent sanding cabinets certainly helped us hone our listening skills.
In the years since, we have each developed expertise in different areas while both remaining focused on finding purpose and meaning. Our partnership creates unique value for those who join our Start the Shift groups.
This experience is potentially a great fit for you if you’re…
This would NOT be a good fit if you…
We have capped the total number of professionals at 12 in order to ensure a high-quality, focused experience.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
