You deserve a fulfilling life

A six-week program to help you build, not only your next step, but your life.
A community for peer accountability to help you stay focused.

An overview

Learn what Build Your Next Step is all about, what is going to happens and how you will participate.
This is Build Your Next Step

Design Your Life

Someone with your experience should be able to have a fulfilling job and a fulfilling life.
Many of you are in a precarious situation. Fired or worried about how secure your job is. Or how secure your profession is. 
What are the next 5 years going to bring? 
What can you do to become future-proof? Improve your skills or gain new ones? Are you ready to adapt to a changing situation?
The first and most important step is a change of mindset.
We offer a six-week program to help you build, not only your next step, but your life. And another six weeks of peer accountability to help you stay focused.
The course is built around core concepts and practical tools, peer exchange, real-life exercises, peer-accountability and group coaching.
In a small group of peers, you will give and receive the support you need to actually apply your learnings and change your life. 
Life is not a problem to be SOLVED. Life is an ADVENTURE to be engaged. Do not get stuck trying to find THE solution. Find the WAY.

In this program, you will learn to

Closely examine the “life story” that has brought you to where you are today.
Align your ‘life’ view and ‘work’ view. Often making money and having meaning in your life are not always aligned.
Understand what gives you energy and what sucks you dry, so you can design a life that fills you up.
Shift your thinking. Learn how to focus on life as a journey to be experienced fully, rather than a means to an end.
Fix dysfunctional attitudes by understanding the root of things that might be blocking you.
Design and build new options for your next career step.

Practically, how does this work?

The programme is delivered over a six-week period.
