A 30-Day Career Accountability Coaching Experience

Stop second-guessing your career. Start making decisions with confidence.

A guided coaching experience for women in cybersecurity who are ready to understand what they want, define success on their own terms, and move forward with a clear plan.

You have built a successful career. So why do you still feel stuck?

You may have the experience, credentials, and accomplishments you once worked toward, but that does not always make the next decision clear.

You may be questioning whether to stay in your current role, pursue leadership, change specialties, step away from an unhealthy environment, or build something of your own.

The challenge is not that you are incapable of making a decision. The challenge is that you have spent so much time meeting expectations, solving problems, and proving yourself that you may not have had the space to determine what success means to you now.

This program creates that space.

This experience may be for you if...

  • You are successful on paper but feel disconnected from your work.
  • You are unsure whether to stay, leave, pivot, or pursue something bigger.
  • You keep overthinking your options because you are afraid of making the wrong decision.
  • You have outgrown an earlier definition of success but have not replaced it with one that reflects who you are now.
  • You are tired of looking for another certification, job title, or external achievement to give you clarity.
  • You want to make your next move from confidence rather than burnout, fear, or pressure.
  • You want support from women who understand the realities of building a career in cybersecurity and related fields.

You do not need to have your next move figured out before joining. The purpose of the program is to help you uncover it.

What happens during the 30 days

The experience guides you through four connected phases. Each week combines short coaching lessons, guided reflection, practical exercises, community accountability, and opportunities to receive live coaching.

1

Week 1

Get Grounded

Before deciding what comes next, you will slow down and assess what is happening now. You will examine your energy, current pressures, sources of frustration, and the beliefs shaping your decisions.

Outcome

You will gain a clearer understanding of why you feel stuck and what needs your attention first.

2

Week 2

Decode Yourself

You will examine your strengths, values, motivations, work preferences, defining experiences, and recurring patterns.

Outcome

You will develop language for who you are, what you bring to the table, and what conditions help you do your best work.

3

Week 3

Redefine Success

You will separate your own definition of success from the expectations you have inherited from workplaces, family, peers, and professional culture.

Outcome

You will identify the priorities, boundaries, and non-negotiables that should shape your next chapter.

4

Week 4

Decide and Move

You will turn your insights into a practical decision framework and an achievable plan.

Outcome

You will leave with a personalized 90-day roadmap and a set of next steps you feel prepared to take.

Designed to keep you moving without overwhelming you

This is not a program where you passively watch hours of content and hope something changes. Each part of the experience is designed to help you reflect, apply what you are learning, and build momentum throughout the month.

Short coaching lessons

Watch focused, prerecorded lessons designed to help you understand each concept without adding hours of work to your schedule.

Guided workbook exercises

Complete structured exercises that help you capture your insights, recognize patterns, and make decisions based on evidence rather than fear.

Daily reflection prompts

Use practical prompts to connect each lesson to your own career and life.

Community accountability

Share your reflections, wins, and questions with a group of women navigating similar decisions.

Live group coaching

Join Dominique for two to three live coaching sessions during the program to ask questions, receive support, and work through common challenges.

Flexible participation

Complete the lessons and exercises within the program schedule while working around your professional and personal responsibilities.

What you will receive

  • Four weeks of structured coaching content
  • Short prerecorded video lessons
  • A guided digital workbook
  • Reflection prompts and practical exercises
  • Access to a private participant community
  • Two to three live group coaching sessions
  • Session recordings when available
  • A personal career decision framework
  • A completed 90-day action roadmap
  • Access to program materials after the cohort ends
  • A closing reflection and next-step plan

By the end of the program, you will have...

A clearer understanding of yourself

You will be able to name the strengths, values, motivations, and patterns that should influence your career decisions.

A definition of success that belongs to you

You will clarify what you want your career to support in your life rather than continuing to chase goals that no longer fit.

A practical way to evaluate opportunities

You will create a personal framework for deciding whether a role, promotion, pivot, project, or professional opportunity aligns with your priorities.

More confidence in your own judgment

You will gather evidence from your experiences so you can make decisions without constantly looking outside yourself for permission.

A 90-day plan

You will leave with specific actions that move you forward without requiring you to have the next five years figured out.

A renewed sense of direction

You will leave with greater confidence in where you are headed because your next steps will be grounded in self-awareness, intentional decision-making, and a clearer understanding of what success looks like for you.
