Redesign Your 9-5

A 2-Day Masterclass For Mid/Senior Career Women Professionals Who Are Done Settling

MAY 1, 2 @ 9 AM PST

During this 2-day live training, you will discover:

  • Why your current career isn’t working for you anymore, even if it looks good on paper.

  • How to reclaim, name, and own what you want, so that you can design a strategy to go after it.

  • How a simple, sales-inspired approach for networking, visibility, and influence can help you get what you want.

Let me guess.

You worked hard for 15+ years and have been wondering what’s next.

You feel disconnected from your work after all these years you’ve put into your career. What once felt purposeful and exciting now feels transactional and… blah.

You’ve been spinning out on the “what’s next” question for months. So you pour your energy into internal job applications just to be rejected, and when you look externally, every job description makes you roll your eyes.

You’re scared of having to start all over again or make the wrong move. And because your immigrant parents have given up so much for you to live a more ‘stable and secure’ life, it feels selfish to want even more, so you’re caught between two worlds.

I’m Carolyn.

I help women professionals who feel uninspired and bored with their daily grind find fulfillment and happiness in their work without ever sacrificing wealth.

As the eldest daughter of immigrants, I followed a scripted path to do well in school, follow the rules, and appreciate the opportunities I already have. This worked earlier in my career, but it started to backfire.

While my career looked great on paper — I helped Yelp go public in 2014, ran sales and account management teams that oversaw $30 M+ in annual revenue — I started to feel like I had become someone else, living and working for other people’s dreams while my mental and physical health suffered. It wasn’t until I was hospitalized for two days for early labor symptoms due to excessive work stress that I reevaluated my priorities and started to see more clearly what was most important to me.

In 2021, I started Wildlight, helping 1st/2nd-generation women professionals who are done settling. My 15 years of strategic sales and leadership at high-growth companies such as Yelp and ClassPass and my introspection from 3 years as a stay-at-home mom, helped solidify my coaching methodology. Not only have I helped 200+ women design more fulfilling careers and lives, while negotiating for $ 1.5 M+ collectively in more pay, but I do all this to model what’s possible for my daughters.

Here’s how my clients have redesigned their 9-5s to align with what they truly want.

Su, Product Marketing

Through the group program, training, and Carolyn’s guidance, I realized how much I valued being recognized for my work and getting paid fairly. Having that focus and the negotiations training allowed me to advocate for a raise and nearly a two-level promotion at my company.

Pam, Product Manager

I worked with Wildlight when I pivoted from account management to product management (what I truly wanted). Carolyn and the program helped me realize that my passion for product was evident and that I already had many skills to make a good product manager.

Veronica, Automation Consultant

Wildlight helped me confidently transition from corporate to building a freelance career on my terms. When I accidentally undersold myself for a project, Carolyn and the trainings from the program helped me find the courage to renegotiate, and I ended up with an even higher rate than I originally asked for.

Heidi, User Researcher

After many years in corporate, and with my kids being older, I realized I was ready to start my own business. There’s so much to consider and Carolyn’s guidance has simplified this process, helping me understand my story, positioning, and how to communicate effectively to successfully land clients.

By the end of the 2 days, you will…

  • Know exactly why your job or career doesn’t feel right, so you have clarity instead of being convinced you’ll feel this way forever.

  • Know what to do about it so you have an action plan instead of spinning in circles, wondering what to do.

  • Understand how to redesign a career that fits your life and the things you care about, without starting over again.

You will be ready to redesign your 9-5 to fit the life you want. You might realize your next move is to…

  • Stay at your job and negotiate for a raise, promotion, and workplace boundaries that better fit your lifestyle and personal needs.

  • Admit that your growth in your current role has stalled, and that it’s time to activate a targeted and aligned job search, not one that’s random and rage-led.

  • Start a freelance or consulting business by leveraging your skills, abilities, and network to take more ownership of your work and time.

Whatever it is, gaining clarity and creating momentum will get you out of survival mode and empower you to create the life you want.

All are welcome to attend. I've designed my webinar through the lens of a woman professional, 1st-gen graduate, 2nd-gen immigrant perspective in mind. While it’s inclusive to everyone, I’ve worked hard to create a safe space for these groups, so the only ask is that this is acknowledged when signing up.
