Ground Control
A Pause with Purpose
Ground Control is a 7‑week structured journey combining reflective coaching and group support with guided exploration of your identity, values, and possibilities, so you can launch your next chapter with intention, not just land somewhere fast.
You’re not lost, you’re in between.Â
Career transitions can feel disorienting, like floating in space without gravity, structure, or direction. In this 7-week group coaching program, we’ll explore what happens when you stop rushing to the next job and start listening to what this moment is trying to teach you. This experience isn’t about resumes or job applications. It’s about identity, uncertainty, and the opportunity for transformation.
