As Seen In:
This is not your traditional career search.
You want clarity, confidence and conviction.
You’re at a crossroads or a major transition, ready for a change but feeling stuck.
You’ve been doing what you “should” do your entire life, and the trade-offs aren’t worth it anymore.Perhaps you’ve heard that voice inside that keeps whispering; “This isn’t working. You’re meant for more than this…
You want to be thoughtful about planning the upcoming phase of your career (and life) so it can be fulfilling for both you and your family.
You’re not sure how to make it all work and you want support figuring this out.
Or maybe you DO have an idea of what you want, but fear or what you “should” do has kept you from taking action.
That inner voice has an important message.
If you’re reading this, it’s because you’re ready to change all that.
— whoever you are and whatever you do, there’s one thing that’s certain:
Finding purposeful and fulfilling work that’s aligned with your values and priorities, and that uses your unique gifts, creativity and abilities, can profoundly change the quality of your life.I felt like I had climbed to the top of the ladder only to realize…crap! Wrong ladder.
This led to a lot of soul searching. I studied mindfulness, neuroscience, optimal performance and behavioral psychology. My overachiever went nuts in the personal development space.What I discovered Changed my life.
It’s NOT about making a list of your passions and interests and where they overlap with other companies. Mining your network and reaching out to people through LinkedIn.
Scheduling so many coffee dates, you feel like a wind up toy that keeps repeating itself.
If your goal is to get paid well for doing something useful and fulfilling…It’s time to take a different approach.
You’re at a crossroads or a major transition, ready for a change but feeling stuck. You don’t know exactly what you want to do next, and you want to be thoughtful about planning the upcoming phase of your life so it can be fulfilling for both you and your family. Or maybe you DO have an idea of what you’d like to do, but fear or a belief of what you “should” do has kept you from taking action.You’re stuck.
You’re not sure how to make it all work and you want support figuring this out.
You want clarity, confidence and conviction.
What you’ve been doing hasn’t been working. But you aren’t sure what to do instead.I’ve been there. And here’s what I discovered:
“If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.”

IF YOU FEEL THERE’S SOMETHING MORE, SOMETHING BIGGER, YOU’RE MEANT TO BE DOING IN THE WORLD, BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS OR HOW TO GET THERE, IT’S TIME TO TAKE A RADICALLY DIFFERENT APPROACH.

About Vanessa Loder
Vanessa Loder is a women’s leadership expert who has been featured in Fast Company, Forbes, Glamour Magazine, The Huffington Post and several other publications. Her Tedx talk “How To Lean In Without Burning Out” has over 153,000 views.
In her previous life, Loder was a successful private equity investor who advised fast growing companies. She is a self described over-achiever whose unfulfilling experience of continual career climbing left her burned out, exhausted and eager to find another way.
Earning her MBA from Stanford and working in finance for almost ten years, Vanessa felt that she had climbed to the top of the ladder only to realize it was the wrong ladder!
After quitting her job in finance to seek meaningful work, Vanessa discovered the traditional career search was not helpful.
She began studying mindfulness, neuroscience, optimal performance and behavioral psychology. Her personal transformation, subsequent research and work have led to thousands of women clarifying their next career move and creating success in an entirely different way.
Vanessa currently lives in Lafayette, CA with her husband and two children.
FEATURED ON:
This program is for women at a transition point. Ready for a change. Feeling stuck. Seeking meaningful work.
Maybe you’ve experienced one of these situations:
- You’ve been successful at your job, but it’s come at a cost.
- You’re in a career that you know in your heart isn’t right for you.
- The success you’ve achieved hasn’t felt worth it because of all the stress and strain it’s putting on you.
- It’s hard to explore what you really want when your hair’s on fire and you’re running like a maniac.
- You want the next phase of your life to be a little less hard driving and a little more satisfying.
- What you really want is to step back and reflect, and be more deliberate about this next phase.
- Maybe you’re planning on quitting your job in the next year, and want to start thinking about what’s next so you’re prepared for the transition.
- Or maybe you’ve been given some time and space due to life circumstances; a paid sabbatical, less caregiving needs, or some other situation. And you want to use this time wisely.
- Perhaps you’ve taken time off to raise children or be with family, and now you’re looking for something more – either part or full time. Maybe having children helped you realize you only have one life and if you choose to work, you want it to count.
- Perhaps you’ve tried to follow your passion or do something entrepreneurial, but it hasn’t generated enough revenue.
You could use some clarity and direction.
You’re tired of doing what you “should” do, but aren’t sure what you really want instead. You feel like you’re wasting precious life moments not following your true path.You’d like a career where you’re learning and growing with space for creativity.
You’re ready for a job that gives you energy rather than leaving you drained and exhausted. And you want your life to include time for family, play, hobbies, love, and work.But you aren’t sure if this is even possible and you’re scared it won’t work.
We live in a crazy world where people are running a million miles a minute… and only a few of us are pausing to ask:
“What is this all FOR?”
The process I teach in this program is completely different from anything else you’ve seen.
It’s about going inward to find what’s true for you and surrendering to that.It’s about following your heart and intuition instead of your ego, mind, and wallet.
It’s fine if you don’t know what that means yet – you’ll learn.While the path of discovering the work you’re meant to be doing is unique for each person, the road map TO get there is the same.
This program combines neuroscience, mindfulness, optimal performance and behavioral psychology in a unique blend that will help you navigate this transition with clarity, confidence and ease.Join me! Discover work and a life you truly love.

Please Note: This Program is NOT for people who aren’t willing to make the effort to create change.
If you’re frustrated with your current situation, but aren’t ready to take action on changing it, this is not the best program for you. Or, if you’re looking for a more traditional career search and only need to do some formal networking to find a new role, this is also not a great fit.

Frequently asked questions about cwyl
WHEN DOES THE CAREER PROGRAM START?
The current program begins on TBD.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS ONE OF THE LIVE CALLS?
You’re busy, I get it.
That’s why if you’re traveling or working on a project with a crazy deadline, you don’t have to worry about missing out on one of the classes because they will all be recorded. You can access the recording within twenty four hours of the class.
PLUS, you get lifetime access to Create Work You Love Career Program.
That means you can never “fall behind.” You’ll learn at your own convenience and the training materials will be there for you for as long as you need them.
The first LIVE Welcome + Kick Off Call —coming 2023.
After that, the LIVE Group Coaching Calls will take place every Thursday from 11:00am – 12:15pm PST. TBD
You can download this course onto your phone or tablet and get all the class materials, guided meditations, exercises, and action steps while you are on the go.
WHAT IF I FEEL STUCK AND DON’T KNOW WHAT I WANT YET? WILL THIS HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO NEXT?
Yes. This program is designed to support you in figuring out what’s next.
89% of CWYL Graduates said they have more clarity on their next steps as a result of the CWYL Program.
100% of the women from the last CWYL said they have greater clarity on not just their careers, but their lives overall as a result of the CWYL Program. 100%. You can’t fake that.
It’s ok if you have no idea what you want to do, we’ve been there before and will lead you through the exact steps necessary to gain clarity.
Rest assured. You will leave this program with greater clarity. Period.
WHAT IF I ALREADY KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO, OR I’M NOT AN ENTREPRENEUR, IS THIS PROGRAM FOR ME?
Yes. If you already have an idea of what you want to do, great! This program will help you refine your vision, and, more importantly, take action on it despite your fear. Many of the women in this group know what they want to do, but they’ve struggled to make it all work or they seem to be stuck in inertia. That’s why we designed this course as a group program, because there is tremendous support in applying the tools to get unstuck with the support of other people who are in the same process. The group will support you tremendously as you move towards more of what you want.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM THE MBA PROGRAM VANESSA AND LISA TAUGHT?
This program is designed specifically for women who want to create work they love. While a couple of the tools we’ll be using, like the values exercise, are similar to the MBA Program, the majority are not. And the only tools that are repeated are those that I (Vanessa) use on myself on a regular basis. Trust me, with some of this stuff, you can’t do it too many times! You’ll discover something new as you review old material. And, most of the material will be new to you, focused on your career transition.
HOW MUCH TIME DO I NEED TO COMMIT TO VANESSA’S CAREER PROGRAM?
Probably not as much as you think! Approximately 2-3 hours a week works very well. There is a 60 minute Course Module and a 60 minute Live Group Coaching Call each week, plus your buddy call (which typically lasts close to 60 minutes), and about an hour’s worth of action items to complete each week.
WILL THIS CAREER PROGRAM WORK FOR ME?
Transformation is 20% insight and 80% action. This program only works if you commit and take action. If you’re expecting The Career Program, or anything else, to magically solve all your problems, please do not sign-up.
Plus, I actually care that you implement this material.
It has changed my life, and I want it to change yours too…for the better.
I know that if you do the work, you will achieve results in your career and life. It’s not always going to be easy, I won’t pretend otherwise, but it will be SO worth it.
IS THIS CAREER PROGRAM FOR WOMEN ONLY?
Yes. Sorry gents…not for you at this time. Get on the men’s waitlist by emailing info@vanessaloder.com.
WHAT IF I’M NOT READY NOW? WILL YOU BE OFFERING THE PROGRAM AGAIN?
If you want to join the Career Program, I strongly suggest you do it now. There’s always going to be “something” that gets in the way.
Plus, once you join this program, you can repeat it in the future at NO additional cost! So it’s a no-lose situation. If your life circumstances change, you can always repeat the program in the future.

What is it worth to you to gain clarity and take action with confidence?
For me, when I was faced with a similar choice, I decided it was worth a LOT. And I began investing in myself. In my needs, my growth, and my own personal development. It is by far the best investment I’ve ever made.You are your own most important asset. Whether you choose to do this program or something else, I invite you to invest in your own development.
