FAQs

What if I can’t make it to the class times?

The class will be recorded, so you can view it at your leisure; however, because there are group exercises, which provide important feedback and information, I would encourage you to attend each class.

How much time does this class take per week?

Aside from the class time, you want to set aside 5 hours for exercise, thinking, and research. This success of this class depends on your commitment to completing the exercises assigned.

How does the class work?

There will be homework assigned to be done before each class (the first included). The first 1.5 hours of class time include a combination of lecture, group work, and individual work.  The optional last half hour provides time for Q&As.

“From my first conversation with Ann, I knew that she had a unique insight and knowledge about the career design process. In her online course, there wasn’t a single session that didn’t offer me something new to think about or apply to my career plans.
In the past, I had felt like I was at the whim of the ups and downs of working life, but Ann helped me realize that I had more impact on my working life than I realized. Now I’m working at a new position, and the skills I learned are invaluable in giving me a more proactive approach to creating a better career.”

 – Greta Milles, Commercial Real Estate Professional, Philadelphia

“What’s remarkable about Ann is her ability to systemize the world of career design in a way that appeals to my technical sensibilities. She offers reflective exercises to help me articulate my values, goals, likes, and needs—and beyond that, a whole host of strategies for confronting the uncertainties and managing the risks in career changes.
While most of us rely on a certain amount of blind luck in our decision processes, Ann knows this landscape intimately. She’s passionate about it. This approach makes her a trusted advisor for turning a transition into a safe, controlled jump. Besides which, she’s dedicated to passing on her knowledge to students and clients: she equips us to keep updating our goals, checking in with our dreams, and positioning ourselves to let new opportunities flow in.”
