Over the last three years, we have helped more than 1,000 women recognize and replace habits that were holding them back in their careers in our "Take Your Career to the Next Level" series.

We help get you started with small, clear, actionable ideas that are simple to incorporate into your everyday work. We know from research and our own experience that tiny changes in your habits can make all the difference in your career. We purposely designed the course so that you WON’T feel like we're asking you to overhaul your entire life or personality to get the career you want! 

We also recognize the shift towards AI as a powerful tool, so we’ve included proposals on how to help AI help you, acting as your consultant, advisor, and providing feedback when you want to pull AI in. 

In the first two days, we'll dive into four elements that are essential for your career: the goals you set, the connections you build, the way you show up, and the work you do. We'll walk you through exercises to help you map out a blueprint for where you need to take action to transform your career.

A blueprint for your career allows you to create a detailed design. It includes the foundational elements and strategies needed to build your successful career, such as skill development, authentic networking, branding or reputation, and a comprehensive framework to propel your career growth. Each element is broken down into discrete sections, so while you’re focusing on the bigger picture of your career, you’ll have action items you can put to work right away.

Over the following three weeks, you'll begin executing on your career blueprint and build on the actions you’ve already started. Sound daunting? We’ve got you covered because we’ve already been through this ourselves and then we taught a series on it!

We've taken what we've learned from running that series and incorporated it into this course to make it even more actionable and impactful, along with suggestions on how to incorporate AI into the career advancement skills you’re learning. Combined, this makes it a two-fer: you’re building your AI literacy as you take your career to the next level.

Our goals are to help you:

✅ Become more intentional about how you approach your career; knowing what you want increases your ability to get it

✅ Create a highly actionable plan with the help of practical frameworks

✅ Establish accountability that fits you as you practice and change your habits

✅ Connect with others who are going through the same challenges

✅ Learn how to leverage AI as a career coach

WHAT TO EXPECT:

This is a highly-interactive course with in-depth discussion, Q&A, examples, exercises, and tactics you can apply immediately. There are 7+ hours of live instruction on Zoom. We will focus on both the "what" you need to help reach your goals, and tactical pieces around the "how" to transform your career.

After the first two days, you will have the framework to establish your career blueprint and specific actions to take. For the three weeks that follow, you'll pick an area to focus on, and, with the support of your cohort and online materials, you'll start taking action. Weekly, you'll get accountability exercises to put the concepts into practice, have the opportunity to ask questions as you go, and access to a live Q&A discussion with Jen and Naomi.

#1. Goals You Set

#3. How You Show Up

Establish your presence and authenticity and build your confidence and credibility by commanding your personal power.

🔵 Harness the value of emotions

#4. The Work You Do

Apply ruthless priorities to achieve more without having to do everything.

🔵 When a No is better for you and your career than a Yes
