Course overview
Move from trapped & frustrated to confident & energized in 4 weeks with ease
When you're a smart and caring woman, 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 talented and compassionate women, Dr. Stacy Kim developed The Lighthouse Method® a way to make big life changes that is...
* Easy and enjoyable
* Step-by-step and streamlined
* Evidence-based and tested by her coaching clients
Designed to fit into a busy schedule, this 4-week course combines the mutliple modes of learning:
* live interaction with Dr. Kim and other students
* short video clips
* downloadable workbooks
* an online community to offer and receive support
