"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."

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."

"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 Content Overview

The program is structured to help participants get out of their own way
quickly—and stay that way. We don’t want repeat customers!
Here’s a sampling of what we’ll cover during our time together.

Live Facilitated Sessions
Session 1: 11am EST, Session 2: 1pm EST
Are you in a different time zone? Click here to see when your session begins.

May 10, 2012 New Beginnings  

We begin by creating a clear picture of your desired outcome which ties directly to your values and beliefs. We’ll also cover the benefits of feeling stuck or trapped, tips for increasing your physical and mental energy and a quick (less than 5 minutes!), easy way to change your mood.

May 17, 2012 Setting Yourself Up For Success  

It’s easier to succeed when you have an environment that completely supports you. You’ll learn how to easily analyze yours in order to find the gaps and quickly add support where you most need it. We’ll also review several techniques for viewing your corporate situation in a neutral, productive way—allowing you to move within it effortlessly.

May 24, 2012 Values & Standards  

Values impact your behaviors, decisions, relationships and direction in life. Yet we rarely give conscious thought to whether they’re aligned with our current work environment. Standards are what we honor because we believe they will lead us to our goals. Logically you’d think high standards would result in a superior result but just the opposite often occurs. We’ll also cover how to maintain your standards when others do not share them and staying true to yourself without making it an issue for others.

May 31, 2012 How Your Best Intentions Work Against You  

If you’re like most high achievers, you welcome and thrive on responsibility. Sometimes though your life can feel like one long "to do" list. When you’re beholden to so many deliverables, it leaves little time to figure out what is working – or not – in your life. This week we’ll cover how to retrain your teammates so they keep responsibility for their own jobs, how to redefine your role and the concept of "responsibility without authority" – having one without the other makes success impossible.

June 7, 2012 Core Beliefs - Includes Private Session  

Understanding how personal beliefs drive behavior is critical to freeing you from the feeling of being trapped. Because this is a deeply personal and important aspect of learning to move yourself into action, you’ll receive a one-on-one coaching session to uncover the Core Belief that is currently out of alignment…so you can change it. You will also learn how to replace a belief that is no longer serving you and how to manage through “the dip” which naturally occurs when learning a new skill.

June 14, 2012 Who is in Control of Your Life?  

Control is like catnip to high achievers – we all want it. But surprisingly few exercise control in the one area where they actually have it. This cycle of relentlessly trying to get control over an uncontrollable situation is exhausting and self-defeating. Resetting expectations so you can focus on your job and activities that fulfill you will provide the energy you need to regain your perspective and take action.

June 21, 2012 Setting Boundaries  

If you’re surrounded by those who constantly violate your boundaries it will create conflict, drama and drain your energy. When you set and maintain appropriate boundaries you will experience an almost immediate reduction of stress. We will review the 5-step boundary setting process; discuss how to hold the line without alienating others or compromising your standards, and the implications of not being able to say “no”.

June 28, 2012 The Path Forward  

Your work each week will have helped you uncover your personal traps and provided strategies for overcoming them. Now we’ll do a quick review and focus on how to use the strategic plan so you’ll never get in this situation again. We’ll review how to appropriately take responsibility, how to manage workplace expectations and perceptions and the best habits for self-management when "overwhelm" strikes again – as it inevitably will.

Break
July 12, 2012 Bonus Session – Stick Strategies  

We’ll host a bonus Q&A call 2 weeks after the Bootcamp concludes to cover “stick strategies” – strategies that others have used to make sure the concepts we’ve covered and the changes you’ve made are sustainable. This is also an opportunity to ask any remaining questions. We want you to have all the information you need to sustain your progress.

Throughout Private Coaching Sessions  

You’ll have access to weekly one-on-one coaching time to support you during this process. A scheduling link will be provided so you can schedule a 30-minute private consultation at a time convenient for you.
