Have the Career You Want:
A 5-Week Teleclass to Get Your Career Back on Track

Laid off? Furloughed? Confused in this job market?

Looking to move on because you’re overworked, underpaid, or just plain ready to be satisfied, while you make a good living?

Are you looking for an effective way to get support and important information about how to make necessary life and work changes?

Don’t want to make a large investment of time and money, during one of the most stressful times any of us have experienced?

Would you find it helpful to hear how others are making the same kinds of changes?

Are you doubting that there’s a way to use the skills and experience you’ve developed over the years, and don’t know how to translate these to the new economy?

You know you aren’t alone.

Daisy Swan and Jeffrey Levine have worked with hundreds of clients through several economic downturns (and upturns, too) and have successfully helped them to create a more satisfying career. Jeffrey and Daisy have developed this teleclass to offer practical and useful guidance, and provide tools and information to help you move past your anxiety to make the changes that you want to make.

Engage in lively and useful discussion and exercises with others who are also working on developing a new career during this time of transition.

• Be clear about what you need to be satisfied in your work
• Know what to do, step-by-step, to create the career you want
