Ready to Start
What the program requires from participants, who it's designed for, and how the process of joining works.
Who this program is designed for
The program works well for a specific kind of person in a specific kind of situation. It's worth being clear about both.
You've built a career that looks coherent from the outside. Title, compensation, organization, trajectory. By most external measures you're doing well. And you are. That's not the problem.
The problem is that there's a private question you haven't answered yet. Whether you're in the right field. Whether this particular role is where your actual capabilities and preferences align. Whether this organization, despite its many reasonable qualities, is where you want to be building.
You haven't quit. You're not in crisis. But the question hasn't gone away either, and the usual approaches, talking to a mentor, reading career books, waiting to see if clarity arrives, haven't produced a satisfying answer.
That's the situation this program is built for.
This program fits if
- You're mid-to-senior in your career with meaningful work experience
- You carry a genuine, persistent question about fit that hasn't resolved on its own
- You want a structured process, not general advice or motivation
- You can commit five hours per week for eight consecutive weeks
- You're willing to do real-world experiments rather than think your way to clarity
This program is not a fit if
- You're in an active employment crisis that requires immediate action
- You've already decided to leave and are looking for confirmation
- You're looking for career coaching or job placement assistance
- You need therapeutic support for significant personal distress
What the program requires
The program is designed to be effective, not easy. The requirements reflect what the process actually needs from participants to function.
Time
Two hours of group session per week plus approximately three hours of individual reflection and experiment work. Attendance at all eight group sessions is required. The program depends on continuity.
Honesty
The investigation only works if you're willing to look at what you actually find rather than what you hoped to find. This sounds simple. In practice it requires more discipline than most people anticipate.
Experimentation
You'll need to run real-world experiments, small actions in your actual life that test your hypotheses about what you want. These can't be replaced with more thinking. The data they generate is the point.
Engagement
The peer conversation component depends on everyone showing up fully, listening carefully, and asking genuine questions rather than performing insight. Passive participation undermines the cohort.
The joining process
Joining a cohort starts with a conversation. Not an application form.
Initial Inquiry
You reach out via the contact page or by email. Briefly describe your situation and what you're hoping to understand. No elaborate application required.
Introductory Conversation
A thirty-minute conversation with a facilitator. This is an opportunity for both sides to assess fit. You ask your questions. We ask ours. No obligation on either side.
Cohort Placement
If the program is a fit, you're placed in the next cohort with available space. Cohorts form on a rolling basis. You receive a pre-program orientation packet in advance of week one.
Week One
The program begins. You meet your cohort. The investigation starts with orientation and the first reflection framework.
Eight weeks is a real investment. It's also a finite one.
The program asks for genuine commitment over a defined period. Not indefinite engagement with an uncertain process. Eight weeks, then you have what you came for.
Most participants report that the discipline of treating the investigation as a real priority for eight weeks was itself part of what made the inquiry productive. Clarity tends to arrive when you create conditions for it rather than waiting for it to appear.
The program ends. The clarity you develop from it doesn't.
Start the Conversation
The first step is a conversation. No commitment required.
Reach out via the contact page and describe your situation briefly. A facilitator will be in touch to schedule an introductory call.
