This is your opportunity to turn your career-change daydreams into reality! Just $247!
Here's the Program in a Nutshell:
The Six-Hour Career Energize Program is designed to help you move from "No idea" or "No idea how" to tangible ideas and action plans. This program is the antidote for "I know I want to do something but I'm not sure what," or, "I want to make a change, but I'm not sure how to get started."
In three two-hour sessions plus your between-session homework, you will develop your Big Idea List, identify your Life-Stage Career Filters and ultimately down-select to two or three ideas to explore and potentially experiment with as you strive to make the right career move for you.
The Program Includes:
-A pre-session preparation guide
-A between-session homework guide
-Exercise documents for identifying your ideal career change; building your Big Idea List; identifying your Life-Stage Career Filters and guidance on how to explore and experiment with your leading choices before making a decision.
-An engaged, supportive cohort
-Focused guidance from executive & career coach, Art Petty
-Unlimited e-mail access to Art Petty after the program.
All for just $237.00
Are You Ready to Jump-Start Your Career Shift?
Does this sound like you?
I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard these statements.
Ironically, they're usually coming from individuals with a lot of experience and accumulated wisdom who want to make a change to something that fits their interests and their sense of purpose at this stage of their lives. They just don't know how to get started.
The Blockers that Rent Space in Our Minds:
In years of coaching individuals through career changes, almost everyone struggles with the same issues:
-Too many ideas
-Too few ideas
-Fear of change/loss of income/loss of prestige
-No idea how to get started
-A sense that it's the wrong time.
These are real issues, for sure. We can't just snap our fingers and end up in a new career. And there's some risk involved if you do it wrong. (Don't ask my wife about everything I did wrong when I changed my career 20 years ago!)
But, What If There Was a Process to Get the Risk and Fear Out of Designing a Career Change?
The good news is there is such a process! It's called the Career Reinvent Framework, and I've worked with hundreds of professionals to refine this into a powerful tool for helping individuals get started, find direction, and keep moving on their important career projects. The six stages of the framework help individuals move from "no idea" or "too many ideas" to here are the top two or three options, and here's how I'm going to make a choice.
The Six Stages of the Career Reinvent Framework:
Determination: assessing and deciding on the right kind of career change. Like-kind job or a true career shift?
Self-Discovery: mining you, your experiences, superpowers, and interests to look for pointers to possible "next" options.
Exploration: casting a wide net for ideas and then adding in your life priorities to help filter down to top prospects.
Experimentation: getting the risk out by designing active experiments and testing ideas before leaping.
Preparation: focusing on the business planning, including time horizon, captial and lifestyle issues prior to launching.
Launch: planning for "Go Time" and launching into your next career.
In your Six-Hour Career Energize program, you work with me through the first three stages to jump-start your career change project. And, I provide you with a roadmap and resources to help you navigate the rest of the process.
The Career Reinvent Framework Gets the Risk Out and Provides Direction and Focus:
The feedback is universal! Working through the framework reduces ambiguity, provides a road map, and gets the risk and fear out of making a career change!
Designing Your "Next"
Getting the Risk Out!
Getting the Fear Out!
Those are three HUGE benefits!
From No Firm Idea to Two or Three Options to Explore!
You Enroll in the program and I immediately kick out the pre-session work assignments. Expect to spend several hours working through them (and asking for some input from others) in preparation for our first live session.
Our first session focuses on translating your homework into ideas. You'll leave with understanding your "ideal flavors" of career change and the start of your BIG IDEA LIST (B.I.L.). Your B.I.L. is that unfiltered, wildly creative list of all possible ideas.
Between Sessions 1 and 2, you fine-tune your B.I.L. and begin to work on your LIFE & CAREER FILTERS. These filters are your life priorities at this stage, ranging from type of work to income requirements to geographic preferences, alignment with your values/sense of purpose and many others.
Our goal in Session 2 is fine-tune your LIFE & CAREER FILTERS and to begin to assess the ideas from your B.I.L. against them. You will leave this session with guidance and homework on evaluating and prioritizing your ideas and down-selecting to your top two or three options to explore.
Session 3 is all about evaluating your top 2 or 3 options for fit with your filters and designing a plan to EXPLORE the options. You leave the session with a gameplan to explore and evaluate your top options and guidance on how to make a final choice.
You maintain unlimited e-mail access to Art and based on group demand, Art will faciliate a monthly or bi-monthly update group session at no extra charge. 6

Feedback from Art's Career Programs
The career program with Art gave me a safe place to work with some amazing, incredible people from different backgrounds and so many unique strengths. Their willingness to help me was exhilarating.
The terror I felt from being deemed obsolete kept me awake at nights. Art and my group members helped me calm my emotions and work deliberately on creating my "next". Importantly, I learned that I shouldn't conflate my identity with my job. This whole experience was liberating!
I learned how critical it is to turn ideas into actions. Art's process provided the structure I need to make this career change, and his willingness to serve as my accountability partner long after the program ended were difference makers for me.
Art is a catalyst -- an inspirational, heart-filled substance that has helped me reorganize around an utterly new mindset of my skills, creativity, and superpower. I trust Art with my ideas - no matter how undercooked - and he can illuminate possibilities, expose vulnerabilities, and offer next steps.
