Cohort-based Course

A six-week journey to get unstuck and design the next chapter of your career

Course overview

A peer-group career accelerator for women in tech

Are you navigating a career inflection point and seeking something more aligned with your talents and expertise? Do you need clarity on the right path forward? Are you missing the support and connection to navigate this pivotal period?


Moving Forward through Community, Connection, and Co-Creation

When navigating major career inflection points, no one should have to go alone. In this six-week program, you'll join a group of like-minded women who are ready to design the next chapter of their careers.


This isn't just another career workshop – it's an experience that combines proven visioning and career ideation techniques with the power of meaningful connection.


What Makes This Experience Unique

As part of the cohort, you will be assigned to a small group of attendees going through similar career stages to cultivate friendship, community, support and connection:


* Small Group Setting: Work closely with a small cohort of women who will understand your challenges and provide support


* Proven Framework: Take advantage of the same ideation and visioning methods Christine Perfetti has successfully used with leading organizations, including Harvard Business School, GoFundMe, and HubSpot


* Authentic Connections: Build genuine relationships with women who will become friends and supporters


* Expert Facilitation: Benefit from the guidance and insights of Christine Perfetti, an experienced social psychologist, researcher, and visioning facilitator


Your Instructor: Christine Perfetti

With two decades of executive leadership experience and a Master's in Social Psychology from Brown University, Christine brings a combination of strategic insight and empathy when helping individuals navigate career inflection points.


As the leader of GoFundMe's research program and a trusted consultant to organizations like Harvard Business School, HubSpot, and Penn Medicine, Christine's superpower is the ability to help individuals and organizations create a vision for moving forward.
