Advance your design career to new heights.

Our Thrive By Design 8-week program is specialized for design professionals to catapult their careers to new heights.

The larger outcome, even beyond any goal of the client, is to help the client reach higher performance in all areas of their life. There is a set of specific questions that are followed in each unique session. And each session also has a training component, where the TBD teaches the client a new habit, tool, or concept that furthers their education and growth in that area. In short, there is a curriculum in TBD, a true roadmap for progress that allows the coach and client to consistently feel that each session is adding value and advancing the client in life, no matter their goal.

The program was designed to help you 

• Leverage your skills and strengths so you can identify your career paths and build a strategy that will get the job and compensation you deserve.
• Develop a toolkit that will adapt your career path for the future, and crack the code of what employers/clients are looking for.
• Learn the key methods of representing yourself to land that next opportunity. 
• See and understand which industries, markets, and opportunities are right for you. 
• Identify yourself and frame your work and your skills
• Negotiate when interviewing for new jobs and promotions for advancement and a raise.
• Represent what you are worth and learn how to earn the compensation you deserve
• Prepare for the first 90 days of your new role and learn how to ‘show up’ once you're in the doors so that you can continue to progress in your new job.

The goal of this program is to have you leave with an understanding of exactly what the next career path is right for you.

Thrive By Design is for you if… 

• You’ve been a design, strategy & innovation professional for 10 - 30 years. 
• You are career-driven and not satisfied with just having a job that pays a salary, while keeping your passions as hobbies on the side. 
• Your goal isn't necessarily an increase in compensation, but being valued and honored for the magnitude of impact you bring to the table.
• You’re thinking long term, not just about the next job, and you want a proven strategic game plan to know that you’re investing in building a solid career not guessing every single career move.
• You are tired of moving randomly from one job to another, feeling like you’re not advancing in your career.
• You’ve read every article, tried different workshops, and even worked with career coaches but you are still stuck.
• You want the dream career where your employers/clients truly value design, they look to you to change the world, and they pay you handsomely for it.

Thrive By Design is not for you if…

• You just want another job
• You are more casual about career advancement goals, and not looking to make advancements or pivots in your career.
• You do not have a healthy respect for quality of life, respect for people, and their talent

Through the TBD Masterclass program, you will get:

• 2 months of Thriver Weekly Group Sessions - Live group coaching in a small private group with other ambitious, driven, creative professionals on a weekly schedule.
• 8 modules of an online program taught by Angela Yeh - Walk you through Self-Assessment, Opportunity Mapping, and Framing & Branding yourself.
• 3 private 1:1 sessions with Angela to develop a career strategy plan specifically for you.
• Unlimited membership in a private online group for Thrive By Design Masterclass members for the life of the program.
• Lifetime membership to online community to connect with 100+ Thrivers, our design community.

The program is designed to work with your current working situations. People have spent as little as two hours a week to two hours a day.

The amount of work you can put into this is how quickly you will see results.

Thriver Group Sessions are one of the most valuable aspects of the program. Sessions will be held during weekday hours. These are Zoom recorded so you can go back and listen. 

In group sessions, we discuss everyone's current situations at work, do interview role play and resume/portfolio review, and plot strategies around actions they need to take. 

For thrivers who are not able to make the group session - They can send their works to us. We’ll review their works during the session so they can watch the replay at a later time.

Keep in mind many Thrivers have full-time high consuming jobs and they are all making room to fit the Thriver Sessions in their busy lives. They know that doing the work to refine their own abilities is the main factor in calling in their best future.  So they are committed to putting aside this time in their schedule. This is a commitment to yourself to call in your best future. Some claim this time as lunch and or person development time.

After you graduate from the program, you’ll have all the training and resources you need to identify and qualify for opportunities for the rest of your career. 

Throughout the program, you will be given 8 modules with action steps exercises. Each module teaches you a different perspective of all the various issues affecting you in your career transition. However, you're not expected to complete all your Action Steps thoroughly in 8 weeks. After you graduate, you will still have to access these modules. So you can go through the program at your pace and work schedule. 

We also have a private Linkedin & Facebook community for you to connect with other design professionals. From there, you’ll always be able to ask the community any question you want in our private group.

The investment for this program is above $5K but below $12K. Right now, it's on the lower end of that range, although I'll be raising it several times in 2022 and may get to the higher end by the end of this year. This is quite small for the life-changing results as well as the ability to come back to these tools again and again throughout your career in the future.

After you graduate, you can continue attending group sessions and receiving ongoing coaching and community access if you sign up for our Accelerator Program to stay connected with other design allies. Some choose to get that help and others can run with the clarity that they get from the Thrive By Design 8 week program.

Within weeks of the program, Thrivers will immediately recognize and identify how their career and their expertise are evolving. it's not just about industry, company name, title, or compensation. It's much more nuanced than that. Within a few weeks, you're going to realize what is unique about your body of expertise and how it's evolving and you'll be able to quickly identify what channels of opportunity are viable for you next and how to.
