Let’s face it; if you’re here, you’ve given more than a passing thought to returning to work.
Maybe you're wondering where you fit in today's workplace: should you go back to what you left? would they take you? should you pivot into that new role or industry that seems interesting?
Perhaps you've been applying for jobs and can't seem to land an interview.
Or maybe you're getting in the door, but you don't know how to talk convincingly about that big gap in your career.
Whatever the case, you're probably feeling stuck. And here's why:
Without structure and support, most would-be career relaunchers get completely lost. They become paralyzed by the competing advice they read and hear - most of it unreliable. They’re intimidated by digital job search and networking tools. They lack clarity and confidence about what skills they offer and what work they can do - and they feel totally defeated when they realize that they’re going about it all wrong. As an already busy woman, you can’t afford to waste your time and energy doing it wrong.
And you don't have to! We, and our renowned Career Relaunch Course, are here to support and guide you every step of the way.
The Prepare to Launch U Career Relaunch Course is offered three times per year, Winter, Spring and Fall, by application.
The Course
With weekly live coaching and instructional calls, and ten modules of online learning, the Career Relaunch Course fully prepares you to return to the workplace.
First, you will uncover your values, strengths, skills, and much more to learn Who You Are Now.
Then, you will begin to define Where You Are Going, and identify (and develop strategies to overcome) What is Getting In The Way.
Ultimately, you will learn the skills (like networking, interviewing and negotiating), create the tools (like résumé, LinkedIn profile, and elevator pitch), and receive the emotional support and inspiration you need to successfully Relaunch!

Testimonials
for Prepare to Launch
U
“Prepare to Launch U is the best self-investment I have made in years! Susan and Kelley are a Dynamic Duo! They have great energy, business savvy, and a down to earth woman-to-woman approach to helping you reach your goals. The cohort is a great mix of women with varied work experience, from across the country, and at different stages of their lives. We are still connected even though the course ended! You are so lucky to have found Prepare to Launch U. You will be at your goals in a fraction of the time, just like I am!”
– Armanda T., Teaneck, NJ
“Just weeks after completing the Prepare to Launch U course, I landed my first interview and got my first job offer for a great, but not perfect, job. Worried that the hiring manager was the only “boy who would ask me to prom,” I almost took it. Then I rewatched a few of the PTLU lessons and decided “HECK NO, I am not settling for this. I will take my time and find the right opportunity and the right fit!” I am continuing my search, a whole lot wiser and smarter, and very grateful to Susan and Kelley for helping me. I would not have had the courage to say ‘no’ or to even begin to navigate my way back to work after 18 years at home without PTLU!”
– Julynn S., Charlotte, NC
“The PTLU course was a catalyst for me in many ways. While I was well versed in job search techniques,, and hadn’t been out for that long, the course provided me with key skills and insights delivered in a forum and context that stuck. Many of us who’ve opted out have lost confidence and courage (even though we are loathe to admit it) and have no clear vision of where we want to go, other than knowing that the status quo is not fulfilling. Kelley and Susan helped guide me to that clear vision; they bolstered my confidence, gave me useful strategies and tactics, and provided an amazing support system and treasure trove of invaluable knowledge. The weekly assignments and cohort calls instilled discipline and accountability throughout the process, and the lessons - particularly those on networking, resume-building and identifying job opportunities - were practical and engaging. PTLU is, hands down, the best money you will EVER spend, not just as part of your job search process, but on yourself and your own personal growth.”
– Silvia C., New York, NY
“I was struggling with updating my resume for about 4 years (off & on) and all of the online research I did just confused me. Then I found Prepare to Launch U. The mini-course was a great first step, but I wasn’t sure I could afford the full course. I know now that it was definitely worth the investment! We did weeks of important foundational work and it wasn’t until week 6 that we got into writing a resume - and to think that was where I was trying to start! I’m now in the middle of my search and I can see how well Susan and Kelley prepared me for the challenges of the networking, interviewing and negotiating that I’m doing. And it's been great having a cohort of other women on the same journey beside me and cheering me on!”
