Launch Your New Career
in 30 days
(without the overwhelm, resume hang-ups, and
"what-do-I-do-next" syndrome)
Is it time to change careers?
If you’re a burned-out, bored, or under-utilized professional looking to build a career you are actually excited about, then you already know that you need to change careers.
So I'll spare you the spiel.
After all, you probably KNOW that working in a thriving career will allow you to have more time, make more money and have a greater impact on the world.
You've probably heard that the average person changes careers 5-7 times in their lifetime, that only 14% of workers believe they have the perfect job, and more than 50% want to change careers.
HERE'S WHAT YOU
MIGHT NOT KNOW
Even if you're fortunate enough to have a career that pays the bills...changing your career can:
-
MAKE YOU MORE MONEY
Even if you're happy with your current salary or hourly rate, once you change careers to a field that is aligned with your strengths, your ability to deliver value will increase your perception and authority, allowing you to command a higher salary or rate. -
INCREASE TIME WITH LOVED ONES
When you choose a new career, you can decide new ways of working that give you more flexibility -- be it remote, flexible-time or part-time work. -
REDUCE YOUR STRESS
Working in a career that is aligned with your strengths allows you to decide what kinds of problems you love to solve. As a result, you are more confident in your abilities, excited to learn, and willing to face challenges in pursuit of your craft. -
IMPACT THE WORLD
Your strengths are your unique abilities and unconscious competencies. When you marry your gifts with the needs of the world, you'll have created a career that you not only love, but also impacts the world. -
PROVIDE FREEDOM
The confidence to choose a new path and make it your own puts you in control of your life. You will no longer be afraid to try a new career when your life and priorities change because you have built the skills to thrive in an ever-changing world by simply being the best version of you.
Even though the reasons to pursue a new career are obvious, the path to doing it successfully is anything but
CHANGE MY CAREER?
AWESOME.
But where do I start?
Perhaps in your most courageous moments, you've made a decision to quit your job and do something completely different.
You updated your resume, applied to jobs online, researched companies, googled "how to quit my job" and were even giddy over the prospect of never walking into the same office again.
Here's why most career changers stop:
Without a clear step-by-step plan coupled with mindset work (I'll explain what that means), most career changers get completely lost.
They fall victim to hang-ups (the online forums always make it look so easy), but more importantly hold onto beliefs that keep them locked into the status quo and stuck with a lack of clarity over what exactly they need to do next to launch their new career.
Here's why this is crippling:
As a busy professional with clients to serve, projects to run, teams to manage and bills to pay, you can't afford to veer off course.
And the moment you veer off course with your career change, it's almost impossible to recover.
Which means...
Even if you're late to the career change party, you want to do it right.
You know there's still a golden opportunity for you to jump in, clean up your career mess (and convert your new career into an income you're proud of).
The 4 Reasons Why Most Career Changes Fail
Reason 01
LOOKING FOR JOBS BEFORE DOING INNER WORK
(and being disappointed when the next job isn't better than this one)
Changing careers can feel easy, too-good-to-be-true and friction-less, but that comes after doing the deep inner work.
What am I interested in doing next? How will this impact my lifestyle? What are my fears about making the change?
These are just some of the many questions you may have to answer along the way.
Most career changers just approach a career pivot as "just another job to apply to". But the thing is, you can't treat career change as just another job application. It's a move that when done right can deliver you fulfillment (and income) over a lifetime. Without the reflection and personal growth ahead of time, it will be tough to find a next career or role that truly satisfies your desires for growth, passion, and excitement.
Reason 02
RUNNING AWAY FROM A JOB
(instead of running to your new career)
We don't make our best decisions from a place of fear, but there is a TON of fear around the reason why career changers are looking to make the move.
"I need to get out of this job now." "I'll do anything, but this." "I'm so tired, I can't keep figuring this out."
These are common thoughts running through the head of a career changer.
Most career changers are running away from a job they hate and instead of pausing to figure out what they truly want, they rush headlong into the first job they get. This isn't a career change. This is a job change and you'll likely be looking for a new job soon.
Reason 03
THINKING IT'S TOO LATE TO CHANGE
(so why even bother)
The time will pass anyways and next year, you'll wish you started a year earlier. Career changers often hear their intuition telling them "This isn't you're your path. It's time for a change." but start thinking overly critical thoughts such as "my time has passed" and...
"Why should I bother?" "Career changing is for 20 year olds." "It will look like I don't know what I'm doing."
There is no one right time to change careers, but what we do know for sure is that you won't get the time back. It's never too late to start living your values, living up to your full potential and making the impact you want to on the world. Whether you have 30 more years of working in front of you or 15 years, that's still a LONG time to be living a bigger, more audacious, and more joyful life.
Reason 04
CHANGING TO A CAREER THAT SOMEONE ELSE WANTS FOR YOU
(and not thinking through what you truly want)
Call it what you want to -- vocation, calling, career, craft -- but how we want to deliver impact to the world is not only an amazing choice, but it's also a sacred responsibility. The world is waiting for you to step up to the plate and express your deepest desires and strengths. In return, you'll be compensated both financially and energetically for your work.
Most career changers realize that their current situation isn't working for them, but they change careers based on what they think they "should" do or what someone else (parents, peers, society) expects of them. Make this choice yours and you'll see that your career is a sacred foundation from which you can build the life of your dreams.
Here is What You Probably Don't Realize
Even though the market for talented professionals is hot (think of when you tried hiring an employee last and realized how hard it was to find REALLY great people), it's not easy for employers to find you.
The main reason for this, as you've likely seen by now, is that while the barriers to submitting job applications are relatively LOW,
the barriers towards LANDING A JOB doing your best work is fairly high.
But as long as you can avoid the biggest mistakes that most people make, the path is paved for you and your new career.
One that allows you to achieve more freedom, create more income, and deliver more impact while utilizing your gifts.
The key ingredient to all of this is having the plan.
And with your permission, that's what I'd LOVE to show you.
INTRODUCING
The 5-Step Career Change Framework to Discover, Align, Reorganize, Design and Launch Your New Career in 30 days
I've taken everything I've learned as a Columbia-trained mindset coach and a 3-time career changer (who has gotten offers from multiple top MBA programs, a coveted job at McKinsey, and started my own company) and channeled it into a comprehensive, step-by-step, program that not only teaches you the high level theory, but the actual execution of how you can do the same.

"May offers the perfect blend of spiritual and practical life and career advice. She understands where I am coming from and knows the right approach to help me reverse my negative thoughts. She not only helped me progress in my career, but she also helped me get into the right mindset to break free of burnout, anxiety, and bad vibes. She changed the way I think, how I feel, and how I interact with others on a daily basis, at work and in my personal life. My favorite compliment from others over the past few months has been when people voice how calm and collected I am, when previously I was known to be frantic and a worrier. I truly believe in the magic that is May and recommend her to my friends who are looking for positive change in their life."
Cathy
Sales & Marketing
"Working with May has opened my eyes to a new way of thinking, working, and living. I was challenged to re-evaluate my values and goals to really find out what was worth my time and effort (in terms of a career) and how can I incorporate the those values and ideals I hold so important in my life. May helped me navigate through difficult decisions and high stress/anxiety to push me further along my chosen path, for which I am so thankful to be on. The reward of digging through my past, my failures, and my strengths is not just moving the career needle forward, but also to have a greater understanding of what my passion and mission in life is. My journey is nowhere near over, but I am lucky to have have May supporting me every step of the way!"
Lian
Advertising Account Manager
"I'm grateful to have met May and to have her as my coach. May has been instrumental in guiding me through the many questions I have in life. Whether they are personal situations, work related or future oriented, May has always found the tools to help me. She is a generous listener, and will ask you the right questions to reflect upon. I see things with much more clarity and know I always have someone to count on. I highly recommend May as a personal coach! "
Julie
Marketing VP
"May Empson is an incredible coach. A lot of coaches are hard to relate to, or come off as scripted and inauthentic, but May talks to you like a real person, who understands what it is to struggle, to doubt yourself and to be unsure. One of my pet peeves in any kind of coaching practice is coaching for coaching's sake. Previously, I've had coaches try to sell me on package after package, instead of focusing on how to best solve my problem or help me reach my goal most efficiently and productively. May is cognizant of setting deadlines and identifying measurable, concrete actions to help you get from your start point to the end point you desire. Along the way, she also helps you get outside of yourself--trying new approaches to really see all the possibilities, whether in your current career or in forging a new one. More than anything, she is compassionate and empathetic, a person who is truly invested--beyond a paycheck--in helping others find what will make them truly happy in life. Despite all my fears and doubts, May helped me take the steps needed to help begin building my new career, and provided me with long-term support and tools that I use daily as I continue to build my freelance content strategy business."
Avni
Content Producer & Strategist
"As my coach through a dark period, May remained in my corner as a compassionate listener. She started each 1:1 session by understanding where I was in that moment, and then found ways to nudge me towards positive change. Early on, she introduced me to the Artist's Way, after which I wrote daily morning pages and took myself on artist's dates for 12 weeks straight. It was what I needed to reconnect with my inner voice. May somehow knew it would help me. She was always very generous with her time and advice, and held space for us during and in between sessions. Slowly, over the course of several months, I found new light in my life and saw new possibilities open in front of me where I had previously seen only dead ends. She helped me see what I might have missed, and pay attention to things that she knew I valued. One of the most memorable pieces of advice from her that I still carry with me is, "when you pick something up and tell me that it is a problem for you, you can't just put it back down and then ignore it..." She held me to account to confront hard things, kindly and gently, but also firmly. May's coaching and reliable presence has been an integral companion on my healing journey."

What people asked before signing up for Career Revelation Academy
Sure, it would be awesome coming into Career Revelation Academy with an ideal career in mind. But your success definitely won't hinge upon you knowing exactly what career you want from the outset. This is what the course will help you discover. Through asking yourself deeper questions, the way I would with my 1:1 clients, you'll start to piece together what that ideal future looks like for you. Hint, it's not what you might have imagined at the outset which is why digging deep will truly yield valuable results as you begin to change careers.
You will get one module released each week, but Career Revelation Academy is a self-paced program, which means you get to put in as many or little hours you want a week.
A good rule of thumb is approximately 1 hour per week watching the lessons and 2-3 hours putting them into action.

Let's talk about overwhelm for a second, shall we?
Overwhelm happens when we don't have a step-by-step, easy to follow, proven plan to stick to. I created Career Revelation Academy to be the antithesis of overwhelm.
You're not going to "do all the things at once".
You're going to follow the step-by-step lessons, put it all together, and gradually become confident in your career choice and ability to make the change.
There's nothing wrong with tapping into all your resources, including your university or alumni career centers.
What these centers don't include are the mindset strategies and values work that helps you make the right career choice and expand your vision of what is even possible.
Instead of just focusing on landing you a job, we're going to ensure that you're landing a job in the field that energizes you and where you will do your best work.
Career Revelation Academy is both a personal development AND career change program that addresses your practical and spiritual/personal needs.
Once you enroll, you'll have an ID and password you can use to access the digital course.
