I built the Career River framework because I was stuck and struggling with the old linear model for success. Once I started applying this approach to my own journalism career, everything clicked into place. I landed a job better aligned with my goals, and I’ve since trained thousands of professionals on how to unlock new opportunities by embracing the journey.

The Career River Difference

“I am about two months into my (new job), and I have absolutely loved it! I have learned so much already, and it's all thanks to keeping an open mind in my career goals.”

“I felt such relief and a sense of openness and possibility, and also just less pressure.”

Explore Risk-Free.

I believe in this process, but I also believe in fairness. Once you’ve completed the work for the first two training sessions, if you feel this approach is not helping your job hunt, I’ll refund your $25 and you can disenroll from the course.
