The Career Leap, a life-altering program

Calling leaders, entrepreneurs and senior executives...

Have you grown out of your current role and ready to craft your next step ?

Are you not fully clear what your options are?

Or you don't know how to make a right choice among many opportunities?

Or how to actually move forward with your choice?

Do not despair!

There's an exciting new method to guide you how to discover & pursue your next career move

This is an invitation to get on an adventure of self-discovery, out of sight choices and purposeful actions.

Like any adventure, it takes a commitment, time and effort. And a knowledgeable guide.

Hello, I am Misha.

Until recently I was a partner at a "big four" management consulting firm. I managed $100M+ worth of projects; navigated dozens of corporate cultures; advised hundreds of clients; guided hundreds of careers.

Even before I found words to describe my values and missions, I was acutely aware of the gap between my work and the kind of difference I wanted and was capable of making.

Even when I became a partner at a "big four" management consultancy and got a title, paycheck and recognition...

Throughout my 15-year career I tried to fill that gap in many ways in and outside of my work. Unsuccessfully.

I got deeply involved with work-life-balance, inclusiveness and mentorship initiatives within my company.

I released a music album and became a board member of a very special charity.

I liked my company, my colleagues and my clients, and there were times when I was really excited about my work. But it never felt this is it.

I couldn't shake off that creepy feeling that I'm just wasting my life away.

So I inquired, studied and explored...

I'll never forget this July morning. There was probably a thousand things that contributed to this moment and it's still a mystery to me how it happened. But suddenly I knew exactly why it wasn't "it." More so, I had language to describe it and a method to explain it to others. This was my moment of truth.

That was the start of The Leader's Leap method.

Since then I guide professionals to discover their meaningful and fulfilling careers and I work with leaders to magnify their value-based impact.

Finally after years of wondering and an unexpected moment of truth, I'm doing the work that makes a difference for others, taps into my unique talents and allows me to live my dream life.

Leaving career after 30 years

Rebecca W., 52, NC, Registered Nurse

I finally got the tools to transition out of a 30 year career into something that will provide an income, and be work I am aligned with completely and thoroughly enjoy doing. That seemed like an impossible concept until I met Misha.

I would recommend the program to anyone who is even considering a new or different career.

We Live in a Time of Unprecedented Opportunities

1. The quarantine made remote work acceptable by most. There are very few geographic limitations for your employment options.

2. Society has been going though a massive shift. Businesses are transforming; new ones are showing up. This process always comes with many opportunities that weren't available before.

3. There hasn't been an easier time to start a business. When I had The Career Leap idea, I built a web page in an hour. A few posts on Facebook and LinkedIn landed me the first 3 free clients.

4. There is an unmatched access to learning. You can pick up knowledge and skills, study with teachers in many locations, and even acquire a degree inexpensively online.

If not now, when would be a better time...

The opportunities available to you are BOUNDLESS

Just 2 simple questions...

1. Where to look for them?

2. How to know what's the right one?

Many leaders and entrepreneurs feel restless. Regardless of their perceived success.

The experience of restlessness comes with the constant need to take actions while not being able to feel satisfied.

But restlessness isn't the problem. It's a symptom that your paradigm of thinking isn't serving you anymore...

Paradigm of thinking is a network of believes, knowledge, assumptions and judgements. It's hard for you to notice it, because it's very similar to fish not noticing the water it swims in.

While your paradigm of thinking operates in the background, it mightily constructs the rational for your actions, justifies your results and shapes your experience of life.

So if you aspire to discover new ways to make and magnify your impact through your work

you have to create a new paradigm of thinking.

That's exactly what The Leader's Leap method is designed for.

So, that next leadership role that where you would be most empowered and impactful - even though you don't know exactly what it is or how to make it happen - you'll discover it in this new paradigm of thinking.

The Leader's Leap method is designed for you to have an abundance of moments of truth.

You know this feeling: seemingly out of nowhere, there's a thought, often a simple one, that solves a puzzle of questions you've been trying to resolve for a while now. Suddenly, there is clarity about the situation and your next step. That's a moment of truth.

Moments of truth show up naturally when you're dismantling your old paradigm of thinking.

A new paradigm of thinking starts with awareness of self.

You will discover, understand and articulate intrinsic aspects of you that hold keys to how you experience meaning, fulfillment and your unique ingredients for success, what motivates you and how you work with others.

The new paradigm of thinking provides access to new ideas, actions and experiences.

This access will take you to ideas of how to be a leader that you've always wanted to be.

They key is to turn your moments of truth from "useful insights" into powerful choices and actions

Transition later in my career

Barbara P, 43, Technology, Financial Services

I am making a transition later in my career & knew I needed some assistance in my next steps. Career Leap challenged me to view opportunities from a different perspective & to focus on things I had overlooked. Misha provides the hands-on guidance & support you can’t get from a book. The exercises & tools we used were captured in a way that I can always access them to keep me on track!

In order to make your dream career a reality, you must master these 3 ingredients...

1. Your Unique Career Criteria

Your Unique Career Criteria represents a set of your unique qualities, ways of being, preference that are key to you experiencing meaning and fulfillment, accessing your success and peak performance, and is essential for your social and emotional well-being at work

If you currently don't experience a sense of meaning and fulfillment, wondering why you're not making more money, not being appreciated or not growing at work - most likely your job and career aren't aligned with your Unique Career Criteria.

The key 4 criteria are: Career Values, Strengths, Motivation Mechanism and Interpersonal Profile.

Once you uncover your Unique Career Criteria, you will know exactly why you aren't happy in your current job or career, but more importantly you will be able to evaluate career options, industries, organization, business ideas to see whether they are the right fit for you.

Fundamentally Unique Career Criteria allows you to know and articulate who you are, and, based on that, choose your career direction.

2. Creating a game plan

Develop a list leap ideas aligned with your unique career criteria
~ organizations and roles as your career opportunities (including current organization)
~ business ideas
~ career ideas (including expansion of the current career)
~ appraise your relationships with your important constituents (e.g. your current and prospective employees, bosses, peers, clients and vendors)

Evaluate ideas and make choices
~ look at what and whys of leap choices
~ assess knowledge, skills and experience gaps
~ perform deep dive
~ making a choice

Develop a Game Plan
~ come up with a list of priorities and phases of the career leap transition
~ define actions in each phase
~ identify bottlenecks and decision points
~ develop ideas for structures

3. Unstoppable mindset tools

Key to discovering your potential career leaps, making choice and have a successful pursuit is having mindset that allows for that

As humans we create many beliefs about ourselves, others and situations we end up in. Some of these beliefs don't serve us - I refer to them as disempowering beliefs. Through the Theory of Beliefs you can develop mastery in identifying and dismantling disempowering beliefs as well as replacing them with a new empowering context

Now you have tools that you can use to reflect, redesign and reinvent your career at any point of your life. You can use those tools in all areas of your life.

What happens when you discover your leap?

Alex M., NY, Banking, IT Executive

Stuck, bored, but the paycheck was important

I’ve been lucky to have had a relatively successful career, but in the recent years, I’ve become bored, unfulfilled and frankly hating every weekday morning. I knew the day would be filled with meaningless crisis, droning meetings, or an end-of-day deadline to fill out some gigantic spreadsheet. But the paycheck was important, and I had officially resigned myself to being a career professional stuck in a rut, and headed towards a dead-end.

A few months of a carefully thought out and rigorous curriculum of course-work, working sessions and homework with Misha, I find myself suddenly excited with my career prospects ahead! He helped my truly identify my career values, what makes me tick, understand my strengths and be able to present myself in a way that I am truly passionate about, with evidence to back it all. I’m clear and confident about the next steps in my career - something I have not felt in a long time!

Ina G., PA, Data Science Executive

Ina G., PA, Data Science Executive

Pandemic reshuffled a mix of my personal circumstances and priorities. The Career Leap framework allowed to fit early open-ended exploration within a more structured approach and a sense of path, avoiding "analysis paralysis."

Misha has an exceptional ability at framing and formulating complex, fuzzy and unstructured matters. I wanted to thank Misha for all his help, facilitating exploration and revealing blind spots.

Anna S., 41, Connecticut, Architect

There is a method to discovering your passion

Misha allowed me to step away from 'my job as means of survival' mindset and recall what I am actually passionate about in life and in my career.

I've got back my spark, interest, and curiosity. As a result, several new work opportunities surfaced immediately and I'm currently pursuing them.
