Course overview

Move from trapped & frustrated to confident & energized in 4 weeks with ease

When you're smart and caring, people in every corner of your life rely on you. Investing time and energy to advance from your current position, conduct a job search, or make a career change feels daunting and impossible.


Conventional wisdom, like "Find your passion," "Do what you love," "Make a plan," "Set goals," "Take a personality assessment," or "Build your personal brand," might work for some but tend to trip up talented women and keep them trapped.


After 15 years of working with hundreds of high-achieving women, Dr. Stacy Kim developed The Lighthouse Method® proven to promote change in a way that is...

* Easy and enjoyable

* Step-by-step and streamlined

* Evidence-based and tested by her coaching clients

Testimonials for The Lighthouse Method®

        The course and Stacy's positive encouragement gave me practical ideas for defining and pushing forward my goals one step at a time. With her help, I was able to step back and see that it was time to start my retirement from work.

        Other programs I tried triggered my perfectionism, and made me feel inadequate. I felt overwhelmed by all the things I needed to be doing, to make a plan, be organized, and get it done. Yours was all about giving yourself grace, celebrating small actions, and focusing more on pleasure and process than specific results.

        I really enjoyed this course. The portal was great for sharing small wins and getting feedback. The videos and coursework helped to clarify the next steps in my career path. Stacy provides thoughtful feedback and cheers everyone on. My biggest takeaways were enjoying the process of career planning and taking risks - even the smallest ones :)

        During the process of taking the course, I had received an email about taking writing classes, which I have always put on the backburner, but something I have always secretly wanted – and I signed up. I don't think I would have signed up so quickly and confidently if it weren't for your course. 

        This was an amazing course with tons of resources for engaging on an area of life where one has felt stuck. In addition to the expertise and resources, the biggest strength of this course was Stacy's warm and individualized support! I'm thrilled to finally get going on a professional project I've been wanting to do for ages.
