Michael Gardon's Linkedin Analytics

I help high achieving professionals BREAK corporate dependence and build Self-Directed Lives. I believe that to transform our circumstances, we have to BREAK what's not working, on purpose. And do it smartly. My Career Design Lab is where your golden handcuffs and unfulfilling career go to die, and where we reimagine work aligned with who you want to be, who you want to serve and what legacy you want to leave. Like you: I know what it's like to be burned out, unfulfilled and secretly DYING for new opportunities. I know what it's like to seek my identity and self worth from a job only to realize the mirage. I know what it's like to sacrifice my health and family for "achievement." The difference is I did something about it. In 2018, work wasn't working for me, so I broke it and methodically designed a new life with intention. I used my job as an investor in my future. I figured out my advantages and then built a side business that I took to full time corporate exit, then scaled to over $1m in revenue. I built an entire process to help me figure out my re-invented career and now I use that to help other corporate pros smartly build futures that are Self-Directed, intentional and successful - that is my purpose. Previous, my career spanned: Financial Futures and Derivatives Trading 3 Startups Freelance Consulting Corporate Innovation I infuse major lessons from these unique experiences to help you craft a dynamic, portfolio career that is adaptable, intentional, purpose driven and never dependent on the whims of corporate structures.
