Design Your Next is a self-leadership program for women who want meaningful change and are ready to define success on their own terms.

Ready for change but don't know where to start?
Questioning whether your work is fulfilling you?
Struggling to find clarity, confidence, and momentum?
Looking for focus and a way to make an impact?
Feeling stuck and stagnant?

Success and fulfillment are not always the same.
We push ourselves to succeed on prescribed life and career paths, living on terms that no longer serve us but are hard to change. We end up overwhelmed, stuck, burned out, and craving fulfillment. It can take years to figure out our next chapter, if we are able to get there at all.

Over 8 weeks in a virtual cohort, you'll build:
• A personal brand narrative
• Ideas for your future
• A structured action plan
• A community to support you

🌟
We are launching with a Founding Cohort pilot on August 16.
