We all have our own unique kaleidoscope of our career and life. That’s why the Reinvention Xcelerator Coaching Community™ is fully customizable to your own journey. The components of this program have been road-tested by hundreds of our clients, ages 30s through 60s — and beyond.

Our clients come from all different walks of life. We have corporate go-getters, nonprofit executives, artists, and writers. We’ve taught new entrepreneurs and independent consultants, and even have clients looking to “reinvent retirement.”

This is something we hear a lot, so to be clear: There are no more “safe” industries. It’s impossible to train for something and be guaranteed a job for life. Companies change and so do we, which is why you don’t need to be threatened by future trends in your industry. The industry isn’t what’s made you successful — you are. 

Even within a “secure” industry, technology and the state of our economies change so much that your field could be decimated within the span of your career. (Case in point: magazine publishing)

Or the skills that got you the job are not the ones that can keep you the job. An IT professional, for example, has a very different role today than she might have had 20 years ago. The same is true for engineering, nursing, and banking, (just to name a few.) In fact, we’d bet there isn’t a single industry that hasn’t experienced some kind of massive change which has caused instability for its employees.

True job security comes when we have a firm handle on our skills and talents and know how to deploy them in multiple industries. The real safety comes from knowing what matters to us, and making decisions accordingly. Only then are we guaranteed to be able to respond no matter what life throws us.

The great thing about having the complete Reinvention Xcelerator Coaching Community™ system is that it is totally self-paced. You can dip into the course materials and community whenever you have a spare moment, and we’ll be there to help you whenever you need it.

Even better, you can spend as little or as much time going through the Sprints in the way that works for you.

Great question! While impressive resumes should seem like the ultimate secret sauce, careers are only a piece of the puzzle. In this program and community, we actually don’t talk about LinkedIn resumes and cover letters. (You can find consultants for that.)

Instead, we help you answer some of those questions that keep you up all night, like:

• • Am I going to do all this work, landing a new job, and then hate it?
  • How can I have a great job, AND do other things that matter to me?
  • Will this actually make me happy?

 If you’re going to invest in change, you need to address the root cause, not just surface symptoms. A killer bio is a great way to get your foot in the door, but it’s not going to help identify WHAT will make you happy. Once you have clarity on those insights, the rest of the pieces click into place.

Some other courses focus on the ‘”branding and repackaging” part of reinvention — with the idea that the road to a happy career and life is just about pitching yourself.

And while that’s certainly important, it’s also incomplete. Career reinvention isn’t just about selling yourself. It’s about creating the life you want on ALL levels.

You don’t just need to “look good.” In fact, the pressure to look good IS the problem. You need clarity about a career and life that will make you happy. You’ve got experience, and you’re not clueless about the tactics of a job search. You know the importance of hustle, networking, and a good LinkedIn profile. This isn’t news to you.

But sometimes it feels like you have too many ideas and options. Should you leave your field for an entirely new one? Take early retirement and try consulting? Transition into a nonprofit? Launch a passion business? Go back to school? Partner with a friend?

And what about life? Yes, work is important, but you can add some fun into the mix. 

This can feel so overwhelming. And that’s why we don’t just focus on the pitching side of career reinvention, but the entire solution. Because what good is positioning yourself in your career if you’re not excited about your life overall?
