Each session will be structured to engage in dialogue, active listening, and mutual support in a confidential space. You’ll meet weekly to actively engage in conversations, share perspectives, and provide feedback.

What past program participants are saying
Jenny’s experience as both a career coach and product manager was enormously helpful in crafting my brand, refining my resume, and positioning me for the opportunities I am interested in. She is very knowledgeable and up to date on the industry and has a deep understanding for what hiring managers are looking for.
Love the thoughtful prompts and feel like Laurie does an amazing job of moving us along. Our group is very respectful and insightful.
Sara was a fabulous listener and very responsive to her audience. She led the circle with a design-thinking approach. I would take her class again anyday!
