Reimagine Your Career with a Connection Council

A research-backed, six-week program for women to learn, grow, connect, and co-create their next acts

When you join our six-week program, you will be embarking on a journey with a small group of women in mid to senior career stages who provide each other with the friendship, community, and connection to co-create their next career and life chapters.

This fall, we are running our guided career visioning cohort on the Maven Training Platform. As part of the program, you will be assigned to a Connection Council with a small group of your peers to design your next act.

“At the beginning, I wasn’t sure what to make of the process of designing my life. I’m a planner but I thought that long term plans were useless because the next pandemic could come any day.

I really appreciated all of the support and feedback I got from my council. It’s amazing that I ask people in every strategic conversation, what do you want to achieve?, and then can’t see it from the inside until someone else says it. Thanks for bringing us all together. What a gift!”

– Stephanie Gerber Wilson, Leadership and Marketing Consultant

We are running our fall program on the Maven platform from
November 12 – December 17th. The six-week program costs $345.

“I am a strategic thinker with ambitious goals, but I recognize I need collaboration and shared experiences to be successful. Joining this group has been a transformative journey, marked by openness and mutual vulnerability, embodying the essence of ‘Lift Up.’

Christine has thoughtfully crafted a program that goes beyond conventional playbooks or manuals. What I needed was a space to connect with like-minded women—where we can listen, challenge, and provide real-time feedback to each other. Together, we are all learning and growing.”

– Mary Noone, Campaign Strategist

How does the program work?

During the six-week program, you will be assigned to a Connection Council of like-minded women navigating mid-career to late-career inflection points and pivots to design the next act of your career and life.

Groups meet on a weekly basis for six weeks, facilitated by Christine Perfetti, a social psychologist, researcher, and expert in group facilitation and visioning approaches. How our program is unique:

Small Group Setting: Work closely with a small cohort of women who will understand your challenges and provide support
Proven Framework: Take advantage of the ideation and visioning methods Christine Perfetti has successfully used with leading organizations, including Harvard Business School, GoFundMe, and HubSpot
Authentic Connections: Build genuine relationships with women who will become friends and supporters

Our upcoming program will be held every Tuesday from 1 – 3 pm Eastern from November 12 through December 17th. Pricing: $345
