Is this program for me?
Are you considering your next career steps? Are you ready to strike out on your own, launch a business, or go freelance? Are you somewhere between your job and your side hustle? Are you on the verge of burnout and know that it is time for a change? Are you in transition between industries or specialties? Are you looking for alternative career directions that allow for more flexibility and freedom? If you answered yes to any of these - then this program is for you. We are an ever-evolving tribe that’s here to support you as you make your next move.
Are there scholarships available?
Yes. If you are experiencing financial difficulties or know someone that would benefit from the program and can’t make it happen right now then take advantage of our scholarships and get in touch with us right here
Is this the right time for me to do the program?
We’ve seen profound transformations in previous participants regardless of where they are in their careers. Some quit their jobs to start their own business, others shifted into new roles in their current organizations and rejuvenated their working lives, and so many have found meaningful ways to foster more creativity in whatever it is they do.
Just like financial investing, there is never a perfect time to start — but the earlier you start, the more time you have to get results. We like to think of it as compound interest for the soul.
What else?
Like most things in life, you get what you put in. This program is no different. It's up to you to take advantage of the many facets of the program which past participants have praised. You also will have lifetime access to our shaper community of beautiful humans from around the globe.
