Course overview
🤖 With AI and a constantly changing job market, do you have a robust career strategy that ensures you thrive and remain relevant doing work you love?
🎁 The best gift you can give yourself is inner clarity and empowerment to pursue and thrive in work that brings out the best in you. Our days are limited; therefore, conscious awareness of what we want, who we want to become, and how to get there is critical to our career success and happiness.
This course guides you from self-discovery to strategic action, empowering you to build an intentional career strategy that aligns with your values, strengths, and aspirations while thriving economically.
You can gain clarity on who you are, who you want to become, and how to take purposeful steps toward your career goals.
Learn the critical career management frameworks and skills not taught in schools or organizations.
👥 The Inner Quest is more than a course. It's a guided experience with 1:1 coaching from a certified coach who will address your unique needs and meet you where you are.

James put me in the driver seat of my personal and professional career, and for that experience I will be forever grateful."
🎙️"My vision got bigger each week."
🎙️"By sharing my vision with my wife, the exercises helped my professional growth and improved my communication."

A private, intimate experience
This course is limited to just 7 people so that my instruction and our discussions are personal, private, and memorable.
Active hands-on learning, not passive watching
This course builds on live workshops and hands-on projects to create an environment that produces deliverables and reflection. I'll teach a concept, show you an example, give you an exercise, and then you'll do it. You'll learn by doing, not watching. The intent is to create drafts of your content that you can then refine outside the live session as needed.
I will spend 7+ hours with you during live sessions and an optional 6 hours for office hours.
Learn with a cohort of peers
Connect and engage with like-minded people who want to learn and grow alongside you. Collaborating and helping each other through exercise will answer common questions and ensure each person makes progress.
Personalized guidance and feedback
The deliverables you create and internalize are key to enabling your transformation. I will hold a one-hour office hour weekly to provide personalized feedback and answer questions. My role as a coach is to pose questions that help you gain deeper awareness and not offer advice as you know yourself best.
Cohort collaboration
We'll have a private Slack channel for our cohort to post questions and answers, small wins, and provide the support that helps us build consciousness and energy.
Change happens when you do. So don't procrastinate - tomorrow is not guaranteed. But if you'd like, you can sign up to receive updates.
