Watch Andrew introduce the Career Coaching Circles program
The Career Coaching Circles program offers you a collaborative space in which to get your questions answered and learn from the questions and answers of others.
Each circle has a theme, but you are welcome to raise any topic about job search and career development as an early to mid-career professionals. Andrew will shape the agenda for the circle based on the questions you post in advance. There will also be the opportunity to raise your questions spontaneously during the circle. Andrew will also make polls and ask the circle questions so that the circle can address the issues that are important to you right now.
The circles are held on zoom and last 1.5 hours. We record the circles so you can catch up on the events you missed.
After the circle, Andrew posts exercises, videos and readings to support the questions that came up. While you are subscribed, you will have access to the archive of all prior circles & the supporting materials.
While you are subscribed you can join as many circles as you like. There are at least two each month.
