There are 5 modules in this course

Your career doesn’t stall because of bad luck: it stalls because of unexamined habits, unacknowledged fears, and decisions made by default rather than by design. In this module, you'll build the self-awareness foundation every intentional career move requires: examining why you do what you do, reframing what’s possible, taking ownership of where you are, and committing to deliberate action going forward.

Skipping straight to the job search is the most common career planning mistake, and it starts with never asking what you actually want. In this module, you’ll build the habits, tools, and frameworks to generate a real career vision by creating the conditions for honest, deep thinking, mapping where you stand across every dimension of your work life, and using assessments and conversations to pressure-test the direction you’re starting to see.

5 videos3 readings2 assignments

Knowing what you want from your career is not the same as knowing why you want it. In this module, you'll dig into the personal drivers that should be shaping every career decision you make: your values, priorities, passions, and purpose, the parameters you need to protect, and the strengths you are most energized to use.

Your vision only becomes a career move when you pair it with specific goals, a plan to get past your fears, and a system that keeps you accountable when motivation fades. In this module, you’ll move from knowing what you want to actually pursuing it: setting SMART goals, confronting fear-based obstacles, building a prioritized action plan, and putting accountability structures in place.

What's included

4 videos2 readings2 assignments

Your career realignment is an ongoing practice of reflection, intention, and action, not a single decision. In this module, you’ll consolidate the skills you have built and leave with a committed next step that moves your career forward on your own terms.
