Upgrade Your Climate Career, and Climate Career Membership

4/6/2023

In the past year, I’ve made a bit of a pivot, or two. I realized that for this (ClimateWealth.io) business to work for me, I want it to be completely automated, so I can go and take care of things when and where needed, or fun things like going to visit my mom in Michigan.

I started building an automated career course called “Start Your Climate Career,” and the target audience was people NOT in climate. 

Along the way I realized that I knew way more people who were overworked and undervalued in climate work.

I’ve been there. I’ve felt stuck in my career. I’ve burned out. I’ve started my own thing, and worked the corporate side of life. 

Now, my FIRST course will be “Upgrade Your Climate Career,” along with a Membership. 

Far too many times, speaking with climate friends and colleagues, I hear stories about their work being undervalued. Friends accepted lower pay and reduced titles.

These are people whose hearts are in the right place. They’re doing everything they can, in their position, to address climate change. They’re going above and beyond, yet they still feel stuck. There is still something missing. 

Now, I’m ready to AMPLIFY the work of friends and colleagues with an online course that will enable them to upgrade their climate careers, and their wealth.

Locking in higher pay sooner in your career means more financial security, faster.

This is especially important for “diverse” people… aka, this is a way for me to address the wage gap, and to help others get what they deserve.

You don’t get what you deserve, you get what you tolerate…

…this is the phrase that propelled me when I was the lowest level analyst at PG&E, and within a year I was co-founder and CEO of a funded ClimateTech startup. 

I’ve been re-working the content from “Start” your career to “Upgrade” your career, and I’m still feeling inspired because I imagine my clients getting the new job or promotion that they deserve, making at least 10% more, and more likely making 20-35% more after my course, and on their way to a more fulfilling career. 

The content is designed to be 8-10 weeks, however we’ve had some early members, crush it, and go through it, and much less. Remember, the most important part of the “course” is the homework, including discovering your “Why” and developing a vision.

…This is what makes what I’m putting together different than other climate courses. If people want to learn the technical side of climate, there are great courses out there. I’m excited to elevate people’s perspective whole lifestyle. 

My content includes systems and tools that go beyond facts. I’ve been through a dark night of the soul. I’ve been through shadow, and darkness, and here I am.

Along the way, I’ve gathered tools that have made all the difference, and I know that challenging the status quo, whether with a new job or a new career direction can touch on insecurities, or bring up insecurities, or trigger insecurities to the point of shutdown. 

This is why I’m excited about my course(s) and membership.

There is the course, and then there is the membership: two live calls per month, recorded and shared in case someone can’t make it, along with additional resources and posts. This membership is the regular, scheduled accountability partner I wish I had when I was figuring out what to do next. I

It’ll be a community of people. We’re in this together. We’re figuring out what a limited career means, and we’re never alone. This membership is the community we want and need. 

During each call, we’ll ground, and envision, and hope, and commiserate. We’ll ask “what did you do in the past two weeks?” and “what do you want to accomplish in the next two weeks?” and “what’s holding you back or in your way?”

If you’re ready for a promotion, bay bump, title boost, new job, or new sector, I hope you’ll join us. 

Both start in May - and I’m pre-selling them at a steep discount right now. There are so many events and so much support for climate work during April, I wanted to make sure there was more support in May and ongoing… 

This newsletter will have more great content now that I’ll be writing and sharing more with the world, so get excited! 

In any case, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE FOR THE JOURNEY. This newsletter is 9 years old as of April 1st. Woah. Thanks for being here. 


Until next time,
Elena
