Sound familiar?
“So what are you doing with your degree?”
You have a polished answer ready — but if you're being honest, you're not sure it's the right one.
“You have plenty of time to figure it out.”
Maybe. But every month spent spinning your wheels is a month not spent building momentum. The longer you wait, the harder it gets to change course.
A part time job here, a club there, going through the motions of class. None of it adding up to a clear direction. College gave you an education. It did not give you a process for figuring out what to do with it. Career centers helped with resumes and job postings — but not with figuring out what direction actually makes sense for you. That is exactly what this program does.
The cost of drifting is real.
Your first job matters more than you think.
52%
of graduates are underemployed within a year of graduating
79%
of graduates who start in a college-level job remain in one five years later
3.5x
more likely to still be underemployed 10 years later if you start out that way

Clarity isn't something you either have or don't have. It's something you build, deliberately, at the right time. Right now is exactly that time.
The question is not whether you will figure this out. It is whether you will figure it out on purpose or by accident.
What this program does differently
Most career programs are built around a personality type. This one is built around your experience.
The Career Design Program isn't a personality assessment or a list of job titles matched to your Myers-Briggs type. It's a structured process built from your own experiences and values — grounded in your own experience, not abstract preferences or hypothetical scenarios.
For you
A flexible six week program that gives you a real process for figuring out what actually fits — and a real person invested in your outcome.
Why it works
You'll build a Career Design Playbook that documents who you are, what you value, and where you're headed. It's yours to keep and return to at every career crossroads for the rest of your life.
How it works
A flexible six week program. Real work between every touchpoint.
The program combines self-paced work through your participant guides and personal Career Design Playbook with regular live touchpoints with Greg — where you share what you've built, get direct feedback, and keep moving forward. Greg provides ongoing support throughout the program, by text, phone, or Zoom, as needed. You are not working through this alone.
Phase One
Your Experiences
Your experiences already have the answers.
- Draw on everything you have done and extract what is actually there.
- Identify your real skills with specific evidence — not adjectives, proof.
- Find the tendencies that show up consistently across everything you have done.
- Map the conditions where you consistently come alive and do your best work.
Phase Two
Discern Your Direction
- Clarify what you value and what you will not compromise on.
- Generate real career options beyond the obvious and expected ones.
- Pressure test your directions against your own evidence and values.
- Arrive at a working Career Direction Statement you actually believe.
Phase Three
Design Your Next Move
- Build four professional narratives ready for any professional context.
- Practice until they sound like you — not like a prepared speech.
- Create a concrete Career Strategy with 90-day actions and a one-year vision.
- Leave with something real to say in any professional conversation.
Your touchpoints with Greg
Guided Track
An orientation call to launch the program. Three check-ins — one per module — at 20 to 30 minutes each. A wrap-up call to consolidate what you have built. Five touchpoints total.
Dedicated Track
An orientation call to launch the program. Four dedicated sessions with Greg at 45 to 60 minutes each. A wrap-up call to consolidate everything. Six touchpoints total.
What you walk away with
Clarity. Confidence. A Career Design Playbook built from your own experiences.
Every participant builds a personal Career Design Playbook — a comprehensive record of who they are, what they value, where they are headed, and how to get there. It is not a program artifact. It is a living document you return to at every career crossroads for the rest of your life — every job decision, every pivot, every moment of wondering whether you are on the right path.
Built during the program
- Your real skills identified with specific evidence from your own experiences — not adjectives, proof.
- A clear map of the conditions where you consistently do your best work.
- Three distinct versions of your possible future — including one you have never let yourself take seriously.
- A working Career Direction Statement grounded in your own evidence and values.
- Four professional narratives practiced until they sound like you.
- A concrete Career Strategy with 90-day actions and a one-year vision.
What you can do after
- Walk into any professional conversation with a clear narrative and something real to say.
- Evaluate any career opportunity against your own values and criteria.
- Answer “tell me about yourself” without freezing or falling back on your resume.
- Make career decisions from evidence rather than anxiety.
This program is for you if...
- You have graduated in the last one to three years and are uncertain about your direction.
- You are in your first job and already wondering whether it is the right fit.
- You are tired of giving vague answers when people ask what you want to do.
- You have been waiting for clarity to arrive on its own and are ready to stop waiting.
- You are willing to invest real time and effort over six focused weeks.
- You are ready to do the work between sessions, not just show up to calls.
It is not for you if...
- You are looking for someone to hand you a list of jobs or tell you what to do.
- You simply want resume coaching or interview prep. This program goes significantly deeper than that.
- You are not ready to look at yourself clearly about what you actually want.
- You are expecting a quick fix or a shortcut.

About the facilitator
Built by someone who has spent over 25 years helping people figure out what comes next.
I earned my doctorate from Colorado State University and have spent over 25 years at the intersection of career readiness, experiential learning, and leadership development. I've taught and advised undergraduate and graduate students across multiple institutions, held senior administrative roles in higher education, and watched thousands of smart, capable students arrive at the same crossroads: unclear about their direction, not because they lacked ability, but because no one gave them a clear process for figuring it out.
My roles have included Dean of Experiential Education, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, and Director of Career Development at Johnson & Wales University, Director of the Frontline Manager Leadership Program at the University of Denver, and Vice President of the National Society for Experiential Education. Today I serve as Interim Director of the MA in Leadership program at Wartburg College, where I also teach graduate leadership courses. That work keeps me close to how students and young professionals think about their careers right now, and it shapes how I design every eXperience Works program.
This work is built on everything I've learned in those roles, designed to give students something colleges want to offer but rarely have the bandwidth to deliver one-on-one.
My approach starts with one idea: your experiences are the most reliable source of self-knowledge you have, and most people have never been taught how to unlock them. The program gives students a way to do that.
When I'm not working with clients, I'm usually hiking in the Colorado mountains or on the mats training Brazilian jiu jitsu, both places where I've learned that the good stuff is usually just past the point of comfort.
