Career Masters Program - a unique group learning space for advancing your career

We learn best in partnership with other people. We develop our self-vision and that of our career through practice and activation of both: analytical thinking and creativity. We thrive on change when we are clear about the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of it and we have the necessary resources to reach our goal. 

The Career Masters Program offers you exactly that space for gaining clarity about where next in your career and how to get there, as well as gives you the instruments for ongoing career development. 

It is grounded in both: in the art & the science of career development. 

Career Masters is a 5 Modules program of individual and group  learning that runs across 3 months. All sessions are conducted online to provide safety and flexibility to participants. The learning group size is maximum 20 participants.

The program includes:

  • Individual insight into your personality, talents and drivers at work (Hogan Assessment) 
  • Individual 1h assessment feedback and impact session with a coach
  • 5 x 2h interactive group online sessions (with content recording available to participants)
  • Home assignments between the modules for individual reflection and experimentation 
  • Post-program community follow-up gatherings (optional) that include: mini-workshops, speakers on the topics related to career development, self-branding, job search

The sign up for the program is preceded by an individual 1:1 30’ interview with the program directors to evaluate the program fit for your needs. 

Career Masters program and community help you to clarify your career vision and get it implemented for progressing in your current job, finding a new one or pivoting to a new professional field.

  • Clarify your Career Vision: you get a magnifying glass that helps you gain clarity about what you desire in the context of your professional fulfilment. What job and workplace is the best fit? How “where you are today” supports your vision? And what is it? What are your next career goals? And how to reach them.
  • Develop your Personal Career Strategy to implement the vision and get to the next milestone in your career: promotion at the existing workplace, new job or new profession.
  • Get Inspiration and Tools to stimulate progress in your career and build up an abundance of options to choose from.
  • Understand yourself better and express your authentic self at work:
    • Craft your Professional brand and have a bigger impact at work
    • Get better insight into what is unique about you 
    • Find out what could hold you back in your career and in finding the job that best fits your aspirations
  • Learn to skilfully navigate in the new world of work

With Careers Masters you get to exchange knowledge with like-minded, yet, a diverse group of people, create your supporting network and connect beyond your immediate professional circle. The blended design (individual and group work)  and interactive format gives you a booster for new insights, higher confidence and energy levels.

The Career Masters Program is designed specifically for mature professionals with 8+ years of work experience, including in leadership roles, who look to change their career, or bring it to the next level. 

Participants are curious to learn about themselves and others. Equally, they enjoy sharing their experience within a group. And are ready to commit to an intense, 3 months self-development journey.

This program is for you if 3 or more of below statements resonate with you:

  • I want to find a job that makes me feel more fulfilled 
  • I feel my talents can be applied in a better way
  • I have been looking for a new job or promotion, but without much success
  • I want to have more visibility and recognition at my current workplace
  • I want more clarity about where I want to take my career next
  • I want to pivot towards a new professional field but don’t know which one and how to do it
  • I want to get to know my blind spots and talents better
  • I want to proactively create and develop my unique professional brand
  • I want to gain more confidence
  • I want to change my usual patterns at self-positioning 
  • I want to learn how to best position myself in a new world of work context 
  • I often ask myself: “For how long will I continue to do professionally what I must do and not what helps me fulfil my deepest needs and desires?”

Individual Career Coaching - a personal development space

When we step on the path of development and growth towards the next version of our professional-selves, it is good to have a partner. It makes the journey more energising, efficient and safe. You will reach your desired destination much faster. A coach is a trained professional that gives unbiased attention through listening, inquiring and challenging you. So you can find the path that is right for you. Together we find internal and external resources you need for achieving the result you want. 

Before committing to a coaching engagement, we schedule a 30-minute ‘chemistry call’ over the phone. The goal is to get to know each other, discuss your goals, expectations, and motivation to engage in coaching. We will also clarify all questions you may have. 

Based on this initial conversation, we evaluate the mutual fit and decide if we  want to work together.

The coaching sessions are conducted either in person or via video conference. The session typically lasts 60 minutes. The frequency can range from bi-weekly to monthly depending on your needs.

The content of the sessions is highly individual and depends on your goals and needs. Coaching is not a one-size-fits all exercise. So don’t expect your coach to lead you by the hand and tell you what to do. Coaching is about helping you develop your ability to find your own solutions to complex problems. 

For coaching to be most effective, it requires your commitment and dedication to continue working on your objective in-between sessions. In the session we will co-create new insights, ideas and tailor strategies. It is outside the coaching conversation, where you will practice, experiment and develop yourself.

Coaching is about increasing your self-awareness, ability to set your own direction, and lead yourself to it. Coaching helps develop your complex problem-solving skills, ability to feel more in tune with yourself and with other people and navigate change more skilfully. 

We will form a coaching partnership to jointly explore your objective (e.g. “I want to get more clarity on my next career step.”) Through coaching, you will find an answer to your question much more quickly than going through the process by yourself. In addition, it will be an answer that you will have found yourself, not an answer that has been handed – or even have been pushed on to you.

You will develop a higher capability to answer other complex questions in your life with more ease.

This development often goes hand-in-hand with higher self-confidence and stronger resilience.

For the duration of the coaching, you will get a partner without a personal agenda other than being  focused on helping you to reach your current and future goals and help your personal and professional development.

Coaching brings most benefit to people who  believe that any improvement of their career starts with themselves. They are motivated and committed to spending time on their own development and are curious to find out more about themselves.

Coaching is for you, if you want to 

…get more clarity on what you really want.

…learn how to develop your strategy to reach your goals.

…learn to prioritise your wishes and goals

…become more confident in pursuing your vision.

…become more skilled and focused in executing your career plan.

…better understand your behavioral patterns and their impact on your career development.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Personal Branding Workshop that Christian and Anna provided. The format was hands-on, with a method that felt fun and engaging. It was a great opportunity to think critically about my personal branding and learn how to communicate that branding effectively.

Ute R.Marketing Executive
"I really admired Anna’s calmness, professional approach and excellent demonstration of what personal branding actually is! In a very interactive workshop, she inspired all the participants to identify their own unique elements that make up their own personal brand. We all have a personal brand; it is the fine-tuning and tweaking that makes us shine and stand out from the crowd.”
