QLA 4-week Career Challenge
A group coaching program to build clarity, regain traction, and make your next move count.
In your early career, the path forward is often clear. Growth and learning opportunities, promotions, and well-marked milestones give the illusion of certainty.
But before long, the structure disappears.
Suddenly, the next step isn’t obvious. Progress slows. The role you thought would lead somewhere starts to feel more like a holding pattern. Conversations with managers go nowhere, and opportunities seem to materialise only after you start looking elsewhere.
This is the moment where career momentum fades. Not because you’ve done something wrong, but because you’ve outgrown the playbook.
The 4-Week Career Challenge exists to help professionals in their 20s and 30s navigate this shift with clarity, confidence, and strategy.
This is a short, focused group coaching experience designed to help you reset, refocus, and act – without spending months second-guessing yourself or sitting in indecision.
A space for thinking clearly, acting decisively, and learning from others
This program isn’t about lofty career visioning or generic advice. It’s a practical sprint led by a respected career coach known for helping high-performing professionals build traction when the path ahead feels uncertain.
I’ve coached hundreds of clients across finance, consulting, government, tech, and education, guiding them through career pivots, promotions, restructures, and job transitions. My work is rooted in strategic thinking and real-world experience.
In this program, you’ll:
- Build a personalised plan for what’s next (even if you’re still figuring that out)
- Get language to clearly articulate your value, goals, and direction
- Develop stronger decision-making frameworks that cut through noise
- Learn how to navigate career conversations with managers, mentors, or future employers
- Leave with renewed clarity and the tools to keep moving forward
- Discover how to unlock opportunities in the hidden job market.
Whether you’re preparing to leave your current role or trying to get more out of your career, this is the space to get unstuck.
Who this Challenge is designed for
This program is for professionals who are switched on, driven, and ready for progress but find themselves sitting at a crossroads.
You might be:
… Waiting on a promotion that keeps being delayed
… Questioning whether your current role is still a good fit
… Starting to explore new opportunities, but unsure where to begin
… Tired of overthinking and ready to take action
The structure is designed to suit those who are ready to take ownership of their career and benefit from working alongside others on a similar path.
There’s no pressure to speak up during sessions, though many participants find real value in the shared learning that emerges from group discussion.

Coaching Feedback
“Working with Ben was an invaluable experience. I was feeling stuck in my career and uncertain about my next steps. What sets Ben apart is his authentic communication style and unique ability to strike the right balance between being supportive and challenging. He helped me unpack my goals and ambitions, while pushing me to step out of my comfort zone, take action and achieve real outcomes. Thanks to Ben, I not only gained clarity on my career path but also developed the confidence to pursue it.”
— Chiara
“By following the steps outlined in the Quarter Life Framework, and with Ben’s help to consistently challenge my own thinking, I was able to map out what I really wanted my professional life to look like in the foreseeable future.
Not long after I began working with Ben, I landed my dream job that aligned perfectly with the skills I wanted to develop and it afforded me the opportunity to grow in new and different ways. It also has opened additional career pathways that I had not previously considered.”
— Andrew
Why it works
This isn’t a course you’ll forget to finish or a program full of theory. It’s an environment designed for driven professionals to think more clearly, make real decisions, and build traction fast.
My approach blends insight, strategy, and structure. You’ll get the frameworks to navigate uncertainty, the guidance to stay focused, and the reassurance that you’re not doing this alone.
