Ready to make the move into a career you love?

Imagine if you could feel a sense of joy in your work AND earn what you’re worth?
 
But the real question is, How?
How do you figure out what it is that makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning and leave your mark on the world?
 
That’s why we’ve created the Career Advance Program, to help people who are stuck in a JOB find a CAREER!

Registration is currently closed.

We’re so sorry you missed getting in with our first group of Career Advancers!

We decided to close access to the program for a time so we could focus on serving the first group that jumped in.

Good news though! We can let you know when the program will open up again.

Is this program for me?

Do you have an advanced degree and feel stuck in your career? Do you feel like you’ve got some great things you want to bring to life, but you’re not even sure what they are much less how to do them?

This program is for you. 

Our current members are either about to leave or have left the academy already, and are working to build great careers with their degrees. 

We’re on a journey together to do work we love and earn what we’re worth.

Join us!

WHAT WE COVER

1. Vision

These modules walk you through creating a vision that excites you by taking stock of who you are and what's important to you. It's a self-guided exploration of your past and future, to create a vision for a life and career you're excited for!

2. Growth

Before we start on turning your vision into an external reality, these lessons help you to identify some internal struggles and patterns that need to be dealt with to really make your vision come to life!

3. Your Irresistible Personal Brand

This series of lessons gives you a step-by-step guide & exercises to pull out your story and create your brand identity in a way that will make employers love you and other leaders want to connect to you. Your clear personal brand sets the scene for building your network and your job applications (+ free access to the bonus course 'LINKEDIN FOR JOB SEEKERS', an immersive guide to building your brand using LinkedIn).

4. Your Network that Opens Doors

Networking is vital, both for exploration and career growth, and too many career-builders are afraid of it. The program gives a clear and easy method to build your network every week, whether you're an extrovert or an introvert. (+ free access to 'BOSS-LEVEL NETWORKING', a 17-lesson, in-depth guide to conquering fear and following up after a networking opportunity) You'll also grow your network through the Community, and I'll personally make introductions where I can.

5. Your Skills & Competence Map

These lessons teach you how to name, map, and demonstrate the MANY skills and competencies you already have, how to tell whether you need to upskill, and making a plan to do it.

6. Final Tools

To put the finishing touches on, these final lessons cover applying for jobs, asking for introductions, and handling interviews.

7. Action & Wrap-Around Support

Where the rubber meets the road! As you apply what you've learned in the course, you'll also spend a year with access to a supportive community, monthly live sessions with Chris, daily opportunities for check-in and feedback on your materials.

Ready to Reinvent Yourself?

I hope I’ll see you inside!

Program Testimonials

"Your course helped me through such a difficult time by offering hope, encouragement, courage, perseverance, and BELIEF that I could change my circumstances. "!
“It’s hard not to be engaged when you make it so personal. I will keep singing your praises for a long time!: the videos make it engaging and starts the ball rolling; the booklet material finishes the job by asking for that time/thinking investment. But it is all driven by your good storytelling. This is a GREAT course. (And wearing the same shirt does wonders to increase familiarity)… I could go on… “!

Let's work together to create an exciting career vision and bring it to life!

About
Chris

In 2018, I was running projects for a think tank. I was interacting with leaders in government, politics, the corporate world, and non-profits. As I watched these leaders–many of whom had master’s degrees or PhDs–I realized, They’re playing this career game differently. And I also realized,  Nobody teaches this.

But there’s more. These people had the freedom to do the work they loved. They saw the impact they wanted, and they made it.

This course stems from my transformation. I was a lost humanities PhD who needed to build a career. After some stumbling, I worked for the think tank, then moved into policy work, helping other countries launch refugee programs and then led the policy design for a new Canadian program. I started a consulting business in 2019 and still enjoy this work as I run Roostervane.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

Our program is built on everything I have learned after thousands of interactions with grads. The Roostervane site has everything you need to build an amazing career. But the program packages everything together for you and walks you through applying it to your career in a clear path complete with exercises and wrap-around support for the whole year.

I know money’s tight for some students. Please don’t stretch yourself financially in any way you can’t handle. There are lots of resources on the Roostervane website for free.

Short answer, I believe it will–but it’s impossible for me to guarantee it.  But I hope it gets you more than that. This course is meant to create an entire career foundation for a lifetime of work that you love.

The principles in this course work well for everyone, but especially for people who have had a bit of experience and are ready to build a career they love. So YES!  So if you have a job, but haven’t quite figured out where you belong yet, come on in!
