Start small,
create something big
Just Start is an 8-week playground to help you build momentum and figure out what’s next by launching a mini career experiment.
When the rules of work change, it’s time to change with them.
There’s no doubt that work feels uncertain right now. Layoffs continue to hit every industry, and AI is re-shaping how companies hire. In this new world of work, it’s more important than ever to define how you uniquely show up.
But after years of climbing the corporate ladder and doing “what you were supposed to do”, you’re at a crossroads—continue on the same, stable path or take a risk into something new.
In this program, we analyze all of the things that make you unique and choose one idea to experiment with. You’ll build momentum through small wins, get clarity for your next step, and walk away with a 1-year roadmap to help keep you on track and accountable after the program ends.
You have a million ideas.
But which one do you choose?
Instead of picking the perfect idea or jumping head first into an idea, designing a mini career experiment is about giving you a signal and confidence to scale it up or down.
This program is for you if…
You’re a curious, creative, multi-dimensional (and sometimes indecisive) human who doesn’t fit neatly into one box
You want to find work that’s meaningful but find yourself applying to similar roles you’ve carried in the past
You’re curious about working for yourself but not yet committed to that idea yet
You have lots of skills, interests, and ideas but aren’t sure how to package them in a way that’s simple and compelling
You want support and accountability form a community of other people carving their own paths and those who have already made the leap into what you want to do next
You feel under appreciated and trapped in a job that puts pressure on your output, rather than feeling valued for your contributions
You’ve been affected by a layoff or are on a career break, which has given you space to finally think about what’s next
