1. The Benefits of Joining the Escape Club

The Escape Club Group Coaching model combines the best features of two valuable career development resources - the career coach and the networking group. As your career coach, I will guide the group through a structured, step-by-step process and provide each member with personal feedback and coaching.

At the same time, you will benefit from support, encouragement, ideas, and resources from all of the other members of your Escape Club group. We limit our groups to six members so that there is plenty of time to focus on each individual. Each week, you’ll report on your individual progress and turn your top issues and questions over to the group for brainstorming and discussion in the privacy of our confidential and supportive environment. You’ll be amazed at the brilliant ideas and insights that can arise from seeing your situation from six new perspectives.

And imagine how much easier it is to stay focused when you’re meeting weekly with a coach and support team. We’ll keep you motivated and accountable, provide you with objective feedback on your goals and progress, and cheer you on every step of the way. When you’ve got a whole group of advocates working and brainstorming on your behalf, you can achieve more than you ever thought possible.

2. How the Workshops Work – 6 Weeks to Career Change

Our Escape Club Workshops meet once a week for six weeks in New York City, and are limited to 6 people per group.

You’ll have support and personal attention at every step in the process:

Before the first session, you’ll have a one-on-one call with Pamela to discuss your personal goals for the workshop.

The specific agenda for each weekly session will be customized to meet the needs of group members. However, your Escape Club Workshop program will cover the following topics:

  • Session 1 – Orientation and Goal-Setting
  • Session 2 – Assessing Your Career Values and Priorities
  • Sessions 3 – Your Career Vision
  • Sessions 4 and 5 – Your Career Change Plan: Creating It and Implementing It
  • Session 6 – Taking It to the Next Level

Throughout the six weeks, you’ll have email check-ins with Pamela and your designated support partner from the group. You’ll also get feedback on all of your assignments including your career values inventory, your career vision statement, and your career change plan.

Your Escape Club Success Manual will provide the worksheets, templates, checklists, and other materials to support you throughout the process of making your career dream a reality.

Two weeks after completing the six-week program, group members will reunite for a one-hour Progress Check conference call.

3. About Me

I am a certified career coach, successful entrepreneur, and author who walked away from a six-figure salary and a VP title to become a certified career coach and pursue my passion for helping others find more fulfilling work. I specialize in helping people achieve career breakthroughs - whether that means making a big career change, scoring a big promotion, or taking their business or income to the next level.

My years of research and work with successful career changers inspired my recent Random House book Escape from Corporate America: A Practical Guide to Creating the Career of Your Dreams.

But I’m more than just a career change coach. I’m also someone who knows personally what it’s like to feel stuck in the wrong career. But I figured out how to make my escape.

“This book might just change your life!”
– Bestselling author Barbara Sher

“It is the most stirring and useful book on careers that I’ve ever read. … This masterpiece will give you the skills to make the leap from a mind-numbing job to a great career and the courage to follow your heart.”
–Robert Sutton, Stanford Professor and author of The No Asshole Rule

“Comprehensive, informative and witty, this book will be indispensable to those looking to start new careers with concrete plans and well-defined goals.”
–Publishers Weekly

Today, I love my work and my only regret is that it took me so long to change my life. Luckily for you, you don’t have to go through the mistakes and confusion that I experienced.

I designed my Escape Club Career Change program to quickly and efficiently guide you through a structured process for diagnosing current career issues, setting career goals, exploring career options, and developing individual career action plans

Here are just a few testimonials from satisfied clients:

Pamela helped me find the focus that I needed to stop procrastinating and start acting!
Kevin C., Real Estate Broker

I left every session with what seemed like a million new ideas. The best thing for me, though, was having the structure and follow-up from Pamela so that I could stick to my plan.
Susan K., HR Manager

I didn’t like my job, but I also didn’t know what my dream career was supposed to be. Pamela really helped me solve that puzzle and I had a lot of fun doing it.
Lana P., Computer Programmer

What an awesome and life-changing experience! I highly recommend Pamela. She will help you find work that you love!
Angela T., Publicist and Writer

6. Is This Program Right For You?

The Escape Club Workshop is right for you if:

  • You spend your Sunday evenings dreading work on Monday.
  • You feel stuck or unsatisfied on your current career path but aren’t sure what you want to do instead.
  • You rarely feel energized or excited about your work.
  • You don’t feel passionate about your work and feel that you’re just collecting a pay check.
  • You don’t see a future that you can get excited about on your current career trajectory.
  • You fantasize about quitting your job to do something else, but aren’t sure how to get started.
  • You feel ready to make a change, but can’t seem to find the focus or time to move forward.
  • You are overwhelmed by ideas and options and don’t know how to choose the right next step.

 

“Freedom lies in being bold.”
- Robert Frost

 

7. Your Satisfaction Is My Personal Guarantee!

Come and attend all six sessions of the workshop.

If you are not thoroughly convinced that the workshop is worth every penny of the tuition you’ve paid, just let me know at the end of the last session.

Sit through every hour of every session before deciding. And your participant workbook and all material are yours to keep, just as a thank you for giving the Escape Club Workshop a chance.

8. Register for the Escape Club Career Change Workshop

The great thing is that the investment for the six weekly 2.5-hour career coaching sessions is only $595. That’s less than $100 per session — a fraction of the price of one-on-one career coaching and less than you’d pay for an hour with a good personal trainer or massage therapist here in New York City. And you’ll be enjoying the benefits of our Escape Workshops long after that workout or massage becomes a distant memory.

And to make it even easier to register, we are now offering a payment option. You can pay the $595 all up-front or make 3 payments of $199.

Due to other commitments, we’re not sure when we will be able to offer our next Escape Club Career Change Workshop program in New York, so now is the time to sign up if you are serious about transforming your career before Halloween.

I hope to have the opportunity to get to know you this Fall!
