Bridging the Gap
The good news is you’ve gotten a job. The bad news is no one ever showed you how to succeed in that job. Regardless of your chosen profession, you’ll need to navigate bosses and clients and presentations and emails and projects and feedback and negotiations and so much more.
We can help you fill the gap between what you learned in school and what you actually need now that you’re working. We do that by taking a deep dive into the following topics…
Emotional Intellegence
Emotional intelligence is the foundation of your professional life. It’s the foundation of your personal life too, but that’s a different prep course. At Pathfinder, we’ve taken the best that psychology has to offer and developed our “Identify-Manage-Use” framework. We’ve combined research on emotional intelligence, affective neurobiology, and cognitive behavioral theory to arm you with a framework for managing work’s complicated interpersonal dynamics. Expect to gain deeper insight into how you function, stronger interpersonal observational skills, and better tools for an emotionally intelligent work life.
Resume and Networking
Your resume and networking game will be your entry point into professional life. For resumes we go beyond the simple words on your page and teach the mindset and approach necessary to build an exceptional personal narrative layered with compelling professional themes. The networking module introduces you to formal, informal, and digital spaces where networking takes place and arms you with the tools, scripts, and mindsets to navigate them.
Interviewing
Interviews are the final gatekeeper between you and your next role. PathFinder’s 3-part framework addresses pre-interview prep, how to excel in traditional, behavioral, and case interviews, and how to advocate for yourself during post-offer negotiation. Interviewing is a little-understood but critical skill, so we spend significant time ensuring you understand what firms expect.
Problem-solving and Communication
Problem-Solving Module: Learn how to plan and manage your workload effectively before jumping into execution. We cover structured problem-solving, research techniques, and data-driven decision-making so you can approach challenges with clarity and confidence.
Communication Module: Master the core communication skills that matter across every career path. From delivering impactful presentations and running effective meetings to writing professional emails and navigating performance conversations, this module equips you with tools to succeed in any workplace.
Retirement
Securing a robust retirement isn’t just about money. We identify and plan for the physical, social, and financial milestones you need to be targeting throughout your career. Whether or not you’ll want to stop working someday, we give you the tools and mindset you’ll need to ensure you have that option.
