They say things like:
"The best thing that I’ve gotten from YCH is action. I made a solid and responsible plan for leaving my job. I didn’t wait for permission, more education, the right time, or more money to start working towards my Homecoming Career."
"I came out of Your Career Homecoming with a confidence that what I was about to invest my time in wasn't going to be my next failure. It was going to be the foundations of something solid."
"I just got a job offer for a company that is perfectly aligned with my needs and wants. I'm excited about the job, but even more excited to be the man that I want to be."
"There is something alchemical about the magic of Your Career Homecoming. If you are really ready for a transformation, this is so much more than an 'online class.' It’s an experience that is transformative and supportive, and for me, it really, really worked."
"I never would have given myself permission ever to consider this as a really viable path. But when I looked at all my data, when I looked at the lifestyle and the impact I want to have and how I work best with people, it was crystal clear."
"Being a journalist doesn’t feel like a pipe-dream anymore; it feels like it’s inevitable at this point. Almost like what I was always meant to do, I just didn’t quite know it before. I’m happy in a way I haven’t been for a long time. I feel like what I want is materializing in front of my eyes. Not to be trite, but it feels a bit miraculous."
From one month to 11 years after YCH, find stories you can relate to.
Take in the transformational short-term and long-term benefits of doing work that supports the life you want to live and the person you want to be, and how we helped them get there.
the real treat:
If you’re like most people researching career support, you’re looking for case studies “like you” — same job title, same industry, same background. We get it. But here’s what we’ve learned from helping hundreds of career changers:
Your job title isn’t what connects you to these stories. Your challenges are and goals are.
The person who finally gave themselves permission to leave a prestigious job they hated? They might have been a doctor, an entrepreneur, or a marketing director. But the feeling was the same. The person who was terrified to start something new at 45? They could have come from tech, education, or finance. The fear was the same.
.
as you binge these stories, we encourage you to:
The specific job someone landed matters less than how they got from stuck to sure. If you do listen to someone with a similar starting career, keep in mind that your best fit career is likely entirely different from theirs.
Were you burned out? Laid off? Feeling unfulfilled despite success? Start there.
Pay attention to how people describe their mindset, behavior, and lives before and after. That’s the real story.
