Lesley J. | January Cohort

I feel much more prepared to tackle my job search, with bite-sized tasks and actions that do not make me feel like I'm trying to do a "couch to marathon" challenge in 5 days. I know that I am the only one standing in the way of my progress, and I have to be the one taking the steps to make change in my life. I'm ready to move forward.

Christian J. | January Cohort

I feel like I was given tools to practically breakdown the steps towards my goals and work towards reaching them.

Deja S. | January Cohort

I feel more excitement than anxiety. I’m looking forward to finding opportunities.

Tokunbo K. | January Cohort

I have more clarity about going after what I truly want to achieve for myself this year and beyond.

Everything has been informative and I have taken more "career" action in the past week than in the past few months! 

Mary M. | January Cohort

Thank you so much for doing this reboot Mandi! I definitely needed to get re-charged and work on my search with fresh eyes.  Going through all the questions in the Clarity exercise was really eye opening for me. Learning about tools such as Teal was so cool. I had know idea that it was a thing lol. Lastly, connecting with other women who are on this journey is helpful as I’m not alone.
