This program gives you the tools and mindset to take control, ditch the reactive career traps, and design a professional life that truly excites you

  • A Traditional REACTIVE Approach

    Reactively searching for jobs only when needed, often due to unforeseen circumstances. You're limited to advertised positions, fierce competition for roles that may not align with your passions and ultimately leave you feeling unfulfilled.

  • A Corkscrew PROACTIVE Approach

    Proactively design your career path from a position of strength and happiness. Cultivate meaningful connections, uncover hidden opportunities, and create a fulfilling work life that aligns with your values and aspirations.
