    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why do we need the Your CORE program?

    A personal strategy provides a clear direction and purpose of your actions, especially at the stage of “what’s next?” of your professional journey,

    Your personal strategy will let you elucidate first for yourself, and then for others. It outlines your professional identity at the new stage of professional life.

    Who needs Positioning Strategy program most?

    People who have completed one stage of their professional journey and are ready for the next one often ask “What’s next?” They feel uncertain about whether and how they can succeed in a new territory.

    They don’t need fluff; they need a practical guide and a customized toolbox to move from the “past, completed” to the “desirable next” professional self. They need a strategy for navigating their move and establishing their position, similar to how businesses develop their market entry positioning strategies when they enter a new market.

    Examples: (a) college graduates who need to formulate their self-identity as a professional; (b) educated migrants who have accumulated sizable human capital in one city/country but decide to move to a new market; (c) career changers.

    What will a participant (you!) get from Positioning Strategy program?

    There are several deliverables of this program. These are (a) awareness of the type of personal positioning that fits you best in the current stage of your professional life, (b) Personal Strategy plan — a sequence of actions that leads to solving your “what’s next?” challenge, and (c) the message to a potential employer or supporter.

    People who invested in their journey toward professional freedom and happiness by taking the “Your Personal Strategy” course have described the outcome as:

    • empowering
    • provides clarity of next steps
    • gives focus, voice, and energy in planning and executing the strategy I chose
    • boosts confidence in what exactly I will say in job interviews
    • enhances pride with their background and knowledge of how they can use it

    How does the Positioning Strategy program work?

    The course is comprised of three steps which allow you to customize this product for your personal and professional life:

    This video from Dr. Julia Ivy will provide you with a full picture.

    How long does it take to finish Positioning Strategy program?

    The time required to complete one module of our course can be tailored to your schedule and preferences. Each module consists of engaging content, including 3 hours of video lectures and a couple of self-check questions to reinforce your understanding.

    Please feel free to CONTACT US. We’re here to support your learning journey and ensure you have the best experience with our course.

    How long will I have access to the course?

    Please note that your access to the course content is valid for one month from the date of enrollment. We encourage you to make the most of this time by completing all modules and assignments within this period to ensure a comprehensive learning experience. Once your access expires, you will no longer be able to view or engage with the course material.

    The Positioning Strategy Assessment - what does it measure?

    It helps you identify which of the four strategies is best suited to your current self and goals. This guides you in making informed decision on how you can navigate your personal and professional life.

    Can I apply Positioning Strategy program principles to different areas of my life?

    Absolutely! The principles and frameworks taught in the course are applicable not only to your professional life but also to other areas such as personal development, relationships, and goal achievement. The skills and mindset cultivated through personal strategy can positively impact various aspects of your life.

    Are there prerequisites or language requirements?

    There are no prerequisites. Our courses are open to people of all backgrounds and stages of life as long as they face the “what’s next?” question.

    All courses are conducted in English. Video lectures include English subtitles and the option to slow-down, pause, or replay lectures for better retention. There are tasks that require writing; therefore, we suggest students have a conversational knowledge of English when pursuing a Certificate of Completion.

    Is Positioning Strategy course the same as career coaching?

    Career coaching and mentoring offer guidance and support in navigating professional growth, while personal strategy goes beyond by providing a structured framework to develop a tailored strategic roadmap for achieving specific goals, maximizing potential, and unlocking long-term success. It empowers individuals to become strategic thinkers and architects of their own professional journey.

      • Recent graduates or those who have relocated.
    • Jobholders Questioning Their Career
      • Individuals seeking to discover their unique edge.
    • Transitioning Professionals
