Who This Program Is For

This program is built for you, a mid-career professional who is:

✔ 6–10 years into a career that no longer feels aligned, and you're craving more meaning, growth, and fulfillment in your work.
✔ Burned out, underwhelmed, or disappointed in your current role and wondering if this is really all there is, but unsure of what you want next.
✔ Feeling stuck and confused about your next step despite revamping your resume, applying to countless roles, or even enrolling in new courses.
✔ Overwhelmed by conflicting advice on what actually works in a job search (ATS optimization? Networking? Referrals?), with no real results to show for it.
✔ Tired of taking random certifications just to feel “qualified”, but still feeling invisible to recruiters and unsure how to position yourself effectively.
✔ Craving a clear roadmap and support system to help you stop second-guessing and start making career decisions that actually feel aligned and strategic.
✔ Excited by the power of learning in a group—sharing insights, hearing real stories from peers, and realizing you’re not alone in the challenges of pivoting.

If you’ve been wondering “what’s next?”, CTAP is your next step; whether you're preparing for a new role, promotion, or just exploring what’s next, this package equips you with the tools, strategy and confidence to position yourself for the opportunities you actually want.

I See You… Because I Was You!

8 years ago, I was stuck in a toxic job, desperately trying to pivot from agency to corporate recruitment.

For almost 15 months, I applied strategically, networked with over 100+ recruiters, and positioned myself for interviewsbut nothing worked. I felt embarrassed and defeated. After all, I was a recruiter who couldn’t find a job.

That’s when a former boss and mentor encouraged me to explore career coaching, something I’d always done informally and loved. I revamped my resume to highlight my coaching skills, including pro-bono work I’d done, and shifted my job search toward coaching roles.

Within 3 months, I landed a career coaching job at a university with a $13,000 salary increase and a free MBA.
Turns out, I wasn’t unqualified, I was just looking in the wrong place.

And the best part? I found my passion: helping others navigate their own career pivots with confidence and clarity.
