"I knew I did not see myself in my current career forever but figuring out the first step to a new one was a big challenge for me. Careerage Group Sessions introduced me to a cohort of people working through similar transitions and helped me define how I wanted to move forward. The sessions are live and interactive which was unique compared to other products I had engaged with in the past. With the team's guidance you will leave these sessions excited, motivated and maybe even with a few new friends! Highly recommend for anyone struggling to find passion at work or wanting to make a career shift of any size."

"I never realized the value I would gain from contributing to a supportive community of strangers and hearing their advice for me. Getting to know people who share similar experiences in their careers and lives was really validating and inspiring. More than anything, I walked away with a completely new realization that I am not alone on this journey and that anything is possible if I just think outside the box I've put myself in."

Kira M.

"Careerage helped me zoom out and understand why I work beyond just making a living. There are no easy answers, but having a framework to use for thinking about work, value, and purpose has been helpful as I try to figure out what the next chapter of my professional life will look like."

Evan C.

"Working with Matthew was a critical for piece for me in achieving my long sought-after next step in my career (twice!). The first was when I was discerning between choosing a C-Suite job at a nonprofit or a less senior level role at a corporate Foundation. The most recent time was a 3-year slog in applying to a dozen jobs and navigating many months of interviews and rejections. Matthew was an important sounding board in decision making and a source of great encouragement when my endurance waned."

Adriana A.

"You know when you walk into a room of new people and you're looking for a friendly person to link up with? That's Matthew. Immediately we clicked and it was clear that our values of inclusion and understanding were aligned. Matthew has been one of my go to thought partners ever since and he never stops pushing me to think outside of my head and lead with my gut. He helped me problem solve, think strategically, and align my own values into my work - even when at times it felt like the alignment wasn't clear. Matthew is a wonderful colleague and friend that I know is committed to my long-term access and is willing to dedicate time to ensuring I don't feel alone in my leadership journey."

Maria S.

"Matthew is very thoughtful in his approach to problems and strategies. He was excellent at asking me questions that urged forward my own thinking and approach to my career. There was a time when I felt stuck in the mud professionally and he really drove me to be more proactive and take control of my trajectory. The tools he provided helped me formulate my next steps and gave me a sense of order around my decision making. I came away with a new perspective and had formulated new ideas to find success. I highly recommend consulting with him and benefitting from his knowledge and expertise."

"It's like you unlocked a superpower in me that I never knew I had.Every once in a while the universe throws you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it. This is the only way to describe my experience working with Matthew Grande and Careerage.While in the midst of navigating an extreme career transition, I happened to come across an opportunity to have a seemingly simple career chat with an individual I had never heard of before. Open to the possibility of possibilities, I went into this conversation with absolute zero expectations.As our zoom call began, immediately, Matthew was able to cultivate an environment that felt unique to any career discussion I had in the past. Matthew asked a series of probing questions that forced me to reflect on what values were important to me in a career. These questions had me reflect on what my ideal situation would look like and build out from there.Up to this point in my life, everyone always asked me some iteration of what type of Job/Career I was looking for and if I had the work experience to go into it or not. Matthew was the first to ask me what type of values I would like to have in a position, what opportunities would motivate/interest me, what values in a company culture would help me excel.Matthew and Careerage is one of those communities that you keep in your life, a wealth of individuals all sharing a growth mindset, demonstrating resilience, and driven by crafting their ideal Career unique to each individual. The mentorship provided by Matthew during this transition was invaluable to me, if you are reading this, I highly recommend trying Careerage out for yourself. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain."

Alexandra M.

"Before working with Matthew, I struggled to delegate, prioritize, and say no to projects. The effect of this on my career is that I had very little time to advance the projects that were most meaningful to me and I stagnated in roles because I was both doing too much and not doing enough to progress my goals.Working with Matthew was hard. It forced me to take a hard look at the things that were on my plate and assess whether they should be there. Thankfully, Matthew gave me plenty of exercises that gently helped me find the answers and take charge of my career. He helped me see the places where I’d floundered and to identify places where I could flourish. Matthew has a saying that reminds me to check in with my goals: “is this the highest and best use of my time?” It’s the question that redirects me to client relationship management over clearing out my inbox, reminding me how to prioritize my next action.After working with Matthew, I know I’m in control of my career and my career path. I have the space to plan the next moves both in my career and in my personal life! I didn’t expect that I would get more time back to spend with friends and family through this process, but I’m more effective and efficient at work and I can be more present at home. I am so grateful for his kindness in coaching—as well as the firm nudges—that helped me pick the path I wanted to take. I feel lighter and more in charge of my journey through our work together."

"It's like you lit a fire under me...I feel a spark that I did not have before.I had a feeling inside of me that change was becoming necessary. I'm not completely unhappy but I'm feeling that deep feeling that change needs to happen in a major way.I feel like I have so much potential to unleash and was afraid to explore what it would mean to seek that out somewhere else, having been with my current company for so long (9 years). I feel excited about what I do, but somewhat unsupported in executing.I really appreciate Matthew’s thoughtful approach in getting me to dig in to what brings me joy (in and out of work), what types of things I might want to invest my time and energy into, and how that could translate to "work".I'm still nervous about what comes next and finding the place that feels like a perfect fit for me, but I am excited for this next chapter and am happy to finally have the encouragement and support from someone like Matthew.”
