"I was amazed at how easy it was to make small changes that have had such a profound effect in my life. When I first joined the Taking Control of Your Career Bootcamp, I was skeptical that I could actually make any change, but I'm already seeing results from taking small steps.

At the beginning, I joined the live calls from my office. Now that I am better able to manage my own time and the time of my team members, just 8 weeks later I can make it home for the group calls. I initially thought my teammates would be resentful of me as I changed my way of working. In fact, they are very complimentary of how respectful I am of their time and how much more efficient I am.

This program will show you why you're feeling stuck as well as how to take back control of your career."

"I fall into the same traps with each new job. I found the Taking Control of Your Career Bootcamp to be very valuable in helping me assess the reasons why I do so. It also provided tools to help me examine my core values, how I set boundaries, how to identify the appropriate tasks to take responsibility for in my work as well as how to evaluate my circle of influencers.

It has impacted me and my interactions with others well beyond my career. I found it provided really important "life lessons" and tools that you may otherwise never have the opportunity to come across, allowing you to evaluate and improve every aspect of your life. After you've been through TCCB, you will have a new way of looking at how and why you act/react to everything around you in terms of your personal values and standards."

"I was a little hesitant about being part of a group call when I first learned about the Taking Control of Your Career Bootcamp. However, while participating in the program, I found sharing experiences with peers in different companies and industries extremely helpful and insightful."

Kira Hillidge
VP, Healthcare

"I joined to figure out whether a career change would be right for me. But moments into the first session, I realized that it was so much more. The Taking Control of Your Career Bootcamp enabled me to better articulate my thoughts and understand my behavior resulting in increased self-awareness. I was amazed to discover how this impacted not only my professional life but my personal life as well. The TCCB experience has put me in touch with my own ability to look inside and make changes to achieve personal and professional growth."

Kate Dooley Knouse
VP, Regan Campbell

"Six months later the process is still working for me. I have changed my core belief and no longer believe I have to change careers in order to be happy. It's more about making a good living, doing what I know best and creating a decent work/life balance. I work for one of the best companies in the world, have a good job, have friends I love around me at work-I'm happier than I ever realized!"

Jennifer Ryan
Global Director
Fortune 100 Company

"I am far clearer on my personal and professional boundaries and have learned to take nothing personally - this is just business. The Taking Control of Your Career Bootcamp was an extremely eye-opening experience that provided me with a better sense of myself, who I am, and where I want and need to go, both professionally and personally.

I have taken simple, little steps so far - small changes to everyday routines, limiting unnecessary "noise" from news media, etc. to help me think differently about work and alleviate my frustrations. I appreciated the camaraderie of others experiencing the same challenges I face."

Heather Warta
Vice President, Hill & Knowlton

"The Taking Control of Your Career Bootcamp was really helpful not just from a career standpoint but even as a general guide for how to navigate through different situations. When I first started TCCB, I really didn't think I had a lot of options, based on what I had heard from others. But this experience helped me realize that what 'they' say doesn't really matter. Slowly I'm starting to see how I make automatic assumptions about what I 'should' or 'shouldn't' do, both at work and outside work, and I've been learning to challenge my thinking.

I found it helpful to hear what others were experiencing. A lot of what we discussed was pretty eye-opening, and it's made me rethink how I conduct myself at work and even in social settings. So far, I've been taking small steps, changing small things to keep reminding myself that I'm in a transitional phase-it's helped keep me more focused on changing how I go through my day and motivated me by helping me remember when I've felt that I was doing really well.

I learned that I have more control than I thought by understanding what is controlling and driving my thoughts and actions."

Taking Control of Your Career® Bootcamp FAQs.

Not Sure This is Right for You?

Q: Is this designed for people who want to make a career change?   

A: Our goal is to help you understand what is keeping you stuck in your career. We aren’t making any assumptions about what your next step will be. For some of you, you may decide that you are ready to make a change…maybe a simple change in company or perhaps a completely different career. Others may decide that they can find satisfaction within their current environment…if they make a few changes. Regardless of the avenue you choose, you will walk away understanding the dynamics and beliefs that have gotten you into this situation—so you never have to experience it again.


Q: I’m not sure I’m comfortable working in this format. Why do I have to work in a group?  

A: We’ve found that working with other corporate executives actually accelerates results significantly. Not only do they understand your situation—and the implications of exploring potential strategies—as someone in the same situation themselves they are invested in your success. As you listen to others discussing their situation you gain added insight into your own—and get the benefit of their ideas when brainstorming solutions. It’s as if you have your own private board of advisors.

And, all participants sign confidentiality agreements as part of our enrollment process.


Q: I need answers now. How can I do this more quickly?  

A: The Bootcamp design assumes you have many demands on your time and attention and limited availability. It's possible to move through the process more quickly if you have dedicated time, energy and attention available. Contact us to discuss working with us privately.



Not Sure You Should Participate Now?

Q: I barely have time to go to the bathroom. I can’t imagine having the time to participate. What do you suggest?  

A: We know exactly what you mean—we’ve been there! Prioritizing work and others’ needs over your own is usually part of the problem. You’ve probably been doing it for years. When will it be your time? However, we completely understand that sometimes you really can’t get away from work. That’s why all the concepts are provided as videos and each session recorded so you can time shift if you can’t make the call. We would encourage you to try though—interacting with others is part of the learning experience and helps accelerate your "a ha"s.


Q: I am overwhelmed with information. Am I going to be able to handle this?  

A: We hear you. The issue isn’t information—it’s understanding how to apply what you learn to your specific situation—and that’s where we’ll focus. The live calls give you the opportunity to brainstorm solutions within a confidential environment. You can’t do this alone—if you could, you would have. We promise not to inundate you with tons of emails and "homework". There are some exercises you will need to do on your own… because you’ll need time to reflect on what you’re learning and how it applies to your specific situation. You can access content 24/7—you are in control of the information flow.


Unclear on Logistics?

Q: How does the Bootcamp work?  

A: Remember, this is a “virtual” bootcamp—you only need to plan for a weekly conference call, everything else can be accessed 24/7. Here's how we’ll deliver it to you:

  • A private one-on-one session to help you uncover exactly what is keeping you stuck
  • Short (20-30 minute) content-rich videos covering the concepts that contribute to feeling trapped at work
  • 8 weekly 1 hour facilitated conference calls with other corporate executives to brainstorm solutions
  • MP3 recording of each call you can immediately download – if your schedule changes and you can’t make the live call you can still access the content
  • Worksheets, exercises and other resources to support you through the process

Exclusive Online Forum
You're not in this alone. We're here and so are your fellow participants to get the most out of this powerful experience. This password-protected Forum is where you'll be able to:

  • download all the resources
  • network with other corporate executives who are in the exact same place you are
  • ask questions

Bonus -- Opportunity for Private Coaching
Every Friday throughout the program we will have 4, 30 minute coaching sessions available. Participants are welcome to schedule themselves in the calendar on a first come first served basis to receive one-on-one assistance with their specific situation. If you have an ongoing conflict with our regular open coaching days, please let us know so we can accommodate you.


Q: The schedule doesn’t work for me but I’m interested. What options do I have?   

A: We limit the number of participants in each group to ensure you get the personal attention you need. We will add sessions if necessary so contact us to let us know you’re interested and we’ll try to accommodate your schedule.


Q: How much does the Bootcamp cost?  

A: Before we get into specifics, first consider the cost of staying trapped, stuck and unhappy at work. How do you calculate the tangible and intangible toll it is taking on you and your life each day? How much more energy would you have if you were able to get out of your own way and focus on doing what makes you happy? How would your life be different if you were excited about your work?

The Taking Control of Your Career® Bootcamp is designed to help you get to the root of why the strategies that have worked for you in the past are no longer working. You’ll also end up with a strategic plan so that when you run into a speed bump in the future you will know exactly what to do.

The Taking Control of Your Career® Bootcamp is the most efficient and effective way for you to create a custom solution for yourself. We’re offering this bootcamp to you for $997. That’s 10-15 hours of live interaction, private coaching and access to weeks of valuable content using a validated, proven method that has worked for hundreds of executives. That’s about $66 per hour to get yourself back in control and on track in your career.

On top of all that this is going to SAVE you time and aggravation that you would have spent struggling to resolve your situation. Imagine how much easier life will be for you once you understand how to manage your way out of this situation. You will be happier and more effective at work and home--getting more and better results with less effort and less stress. What is THAT worth to you?

We offer a monthly payment plan as well as discounted early bird rates. You are not going to find a custom solution that is more practical, more proven or more reasonably priced.


Q: What type of guarantee do you offer?  

A:

100% Satisfaction Guarantee

You are protected by our 100% guarantee. We stand firmly behind our products. We KNOW our Taking Control of Your Career® Bootcamp has the potential for transforming your career and life just as long as you attend the sessions and do the work.

But, just in case you don't agree, you have until the end of the second session to decide if this is for you. Just let us know by the start of the third class if you don't want to continue, and we'll refund your investment.


Q: What are my payment options?  

A:We offer an early bird discount. If you enroll by August 30th 2012, your price is $849—or if you look at it on an hourly basis, only $56 per hour and that’s based on “live” interaction only!

We understand that sometimes it’s easier to budget if you spread out payments. You can choose our 3-pay option and we’ll charge your card in three equal installments of $315. You’ll notice this works out to a slightly higher total price. That’s because we’re charged non-negotiable fees every time we process a card and those costs are being passed on to you.

We also offer gift certificates which start at $25 that can be used for the Bootcamp.
