Career Change Group Coaching for Professionals
About this program
Career change at the professional level is a different problem
When you have ten or fifteen years of experience in a field, changing direction is not just a matter of learning new skills. You have a salary, a professional identity, a network built around a specific role, and real financial obligations. The stakes are different. The timeline is different. The decision-making process needs to be more careful.
This program was built for people in that position — not for recent graduates figuring out what to do next, but for professionals in their 30s and 40s who have done solid work in one field and are seriously considering a move to another. The group format matters here because you are not alone in this situation. Talking through the real trade-offs with other people navigating the same transition is genuinely useful in ways that one-on-one coaching or online research cannot replicate.
What the program covers
The ten-week program is structured in three phases. The first phase is about assessment — understanding what you are actually good at, what the market values in your target direction, and where the gaps are. This sounds obvious but most people skip it and jump to tactics. The second phase focuses on research and reality-testing: conversations with people already working in your target field, skills prioritization, and financial scenario planning. The third phase is about making and executing the decision — whether that means starting a job search, building a transition portfolio, or launching a side project to test the direction before committing.
Group composition
Groups are intentionally cross-industry. Having a former engineer, a teacher, and a marketing manager all thinking through career transitions at the same time creates more diverse perspectives than a sector-specific group would.
Changing careers takes longer than most people expect when they start. This program helps you plan for the realistic timeline and make decisions that hold up under pressure, not just in a hopeful moment.
