Pathfinders Lab: Change the Course of Your Project Career

A cohort-based program for experienced project professionals who are ready to stop guessing about their next move and start growing with purpose.

Who is this for?

You have been leading projects for years. It still feels like no one really sees you.

Pathfinders Lab is for mid-career project professionals who:

  • Act as a leader, often without the title or formal authority.
  • Are tired of being the person who keeps things on track instead of the trusted advisor.
  • Feel invisible or overlooked when it comes to opportunities, influence, or recognition.
  • Are unsure which moves, roles, credentials, skills, will actually shift their career.

If you are experienced, capable, and restless for a clearer path, you are in the right place.

What Pathfinders Lab helps you do

From uncertainty to clarity. From invisible to influential.

By the end of the Lab, you will:

  • See your professional identity clearly and name what truly sets you apart.
  • Articulate your value in language leaders and hiring managers actually hear.
  • Build a practical roadmap for your next 12 to 18 months of growth.
  • Strengthen your network with peers who understand your world and actively support your progress.

This is not another certification course. It is a dedicated space to apply project thinking to your own career and make decisions with more confidence.

How it works

A structured cohort, not a loose collection of webinars.

Each Pathfinders Lab cohort includes:

  • Live small group sessions focused on value articulation, strategic positioning, and influence.
  • Guided exercises and frameworks you can use to map your story, your options, and your next moves.
  • Peer mastermind circles for feedback, encouragement, and real-world problem solving.
  • Practical tools to keep using after the Lab so your growth continues, not just the sessions.

Everything is designed to fit alongside a full-time role, with focused, high-leverage work between sessions.

What you get in Pathfinders Lab

Pathfinders Lab is a nine-sprint cohort experience built to help you stop guessing and start making moves with clarity and leverage. You will not be left to figure it out alone. You will have structure, support, and clear deliverables you can use right away.

Inside the Lab, you get:

  • Nine, 30-minute sessions of personal coaching
  • Ten group coaching sessions
  • Eight special events
  • Professionally recorded video short that you can post to LinkedIn
  • Six months of Explorer-level access to the Pathfinders Lab ($150)

The work is organized around four areas that drive career-change at this level:

  • Your vision, so you choose what you want next with intention
  • Your reality, so you name what is true and work with it
  • Negotiation skills, so you can ask for what you want and hold your ground
  • Visibility, so your leadership is not hidden behind your title

This is leadership coaching (usually $3k to $8K for comparable programs)
at a price that is accessible to mid-career project professionals.

Why now?

Project work is changing faster than the job descriptions. Traditional project management paths and credentials do not fully match the roles you are already playing.

Pathfinders Lab gives you:

  • A way to step back from the task list and look at your career as a system you can design.
  • A community that makes you visible, confident, and connected instead of navigating alone.

If you are ready to stop waiting for recognition and start shaping what comes next, this is your inflection point.
