Have you been hearing more about the topic of group coaching lately? I know I have! Companies like Medley and The Cru are on the rise along with many other niche players to help individuals grow and develop in the areas of leadership and career coaching. When we were all locked in our homes over the past few years, we lost many of the connections we’d normally make through work, volunteer, and other activities. I get the sense that many people today are looking for additional support to know they are not alone in facing their personal and professional challenges.
I launched the Digital Orchards fellowship program to bring together a small cohort of early to mid-career professionals who want structured guidance on how to navigate a career change into tech AND want to work with like-minded individuals to achieve that goal.

Are you curious to know whether a group coaching program is right for you?
Check out the statements below and see how many you put a Yes next to.
I appreciate the ability to share my career change concerns with a group of trusted individuals facing similar challenges and get & give feedback to expand our collective understanding of changing careers.
I’ve tried working on my own but haven’t seen the progress or results I want.
My goal is to have a clear and well-defined tech job search strategy at the end of the program month.
I know I’m capable of achieving this big change, but I struggle with overcoming a lot of self-doubts (I mean, I don’t know how to code - can this pivot even work?!)
I prefer to work alone and struggle in silence.
In the past, I’ve really enjoyed being on a team where we struggled together and then finished a project or won a competition - the confidence boost was amazing!
I thrive when I know that others will help keep me accountable for my big & audacious goals.
Scoring: Give yourself 1 point for every YES you write down. (Except #5 - deduct a point for that one - just checking to see if your inner fears had popped out!)
Where did you land?
4-6 = We welcome you to join the DO Fellowship, my friend!
1-3 = Let’s learn more about your goals.
< 1 = Maybe a bit more research will help?
Despite the humor woven throughout the quiz above, many of the benefits of participating in a group coaching program to support you during a career change into tech should be obvious. Expert guidance from a coach who has seen it all, camaraderie from a cohort who is in the trenches with you, and a rise in your confidence that you will succeed.
In my program, you will learn from an experienced coach (that’s me) the information & tactics you need to achieve your tech search pivot AND you will get support from folks going through the same challenges as you are. Everyone will end the program with a clearly articulated plan for a successful job search. Sign up today to learn more! digitalorchards.com/fellowship
