A NOTE FROM SAM
You don’t need everything figured out to start.
The MAP is designed for thoughtful people in the middle — not at the beginning, not at the end.
This is about building a career path that actually feels like yours.
Not Ready for the Full MAP?
Start with a focused class. INDIVIDUAL CLASSES
Each class focuses on a single area—like mindset, understanding hiring, or starting a new role—so you can move forward with more clarity and confidence, at your own pace, and get targeted support for what matters to you most.
Mindset Foundation: Your Inner Compass
Before strategy, networking, or resumes, there’s inner work that needs to happen.
The Inner Compass is a self-guided mini course designed to help you slow down, reconnect to what matters, and build a grounded sense of direction before you move forward.
Through guided reflection on your values, strengths, and purpose, you’ll learn how to quiet external noise, rebuild self-trust, and approach your next steps with clarity instead of pressure.
This course is for anyone who feels stuck, disconnected, or unsure—not because they lack ability, but because they’ve lost their internal compass.
