I want to thank Karen Elders for having me on the Launch Career Strategies podcast and for the chance to showcase RISEUP@work and the work I care about most: helping people actually grow once they are hired.Here is the observation the conversation kept returning to. We prepare people intensely for access. The resume, the interview, the offer. Then the structure disappears. Getting hired does not come with a map for what comes next, and what comes next is where careers are actually built, or quietly stalled.That gap is not a soft problem. It is a market. In LinkedIn's Workplace Learning Report, 94% of employees said they would stay longer at a company that invested in their career development (CNBC, on the LinkedIn report). The pain of the post-offer years lands on the employer as attrition, lost momentum, and wasted potential. Today, nobody owns the solution.RISEUP@work is built for exactly this space. In the episode, I walked through the frameworks we systematize: the offer as base camp, the push-pull test before an exit, managing up, and the climb from performance to positioning. These are not slogans. They are the encoded output of three decades inside Fortune 100 companies, a doctorate on what drives professional commitment, and 1,500 coaching relationships, now built into a platform and community so the guidance scales beyond any single room.We have now launched and are welcoming our first cohort of early adopters, the professionals who would rather build momentum than wait for permission, and their engagement is teaching us exactly what to build next.This is the clearest short articulation of our thesis I have recorded. If you want to understand what we are building and why now, it is worth the time.Thank you for backing the years after "Congratulations, you got the job."
