Now available on-demand! After several successful live cohorts, the resources and tools of the Impact Career Sprint are now available whenever you’re ready to get the momentum you’re looking for in your social impact job search.
In this carefully-designed hybrid experience, combining individualized coaching sessions with on-demand workshops sharing tested strategies and tools, you’ll move step-by-step to get clear on what you want (and how your skills will transfer!), explore your options, and make sure you have the materials and strategy necessary to find and land your next role.
Hi, I’m Caroline Ouwerkerk, social impact career coach and facilitator of the Impact Career Sprint.
I’ve spent over 5 years as a full-time career and leadership coach, helping mission-driven professionals around the world find, land, and love their next role in social impact.
After working with hundreds of clients individually, I’m excited to finally offer my tried-and-tested tools, resources, and strategies in a new hybrid format.
Through the perfect mix of energizing on-demand workshops and personalized private coaching, you’ll get the momentum you need to accelerate your job search. This hybrid format offers a faster pace at a more affordable price than my typical individualized coaching program, and is a great option for folks looking to move quickly in their mission-driven job search while getting focused support from a seasoned coach.
