Carol and the iRelaunch team are internationally known experts in returning to work after a career break. Plus, iRelaunch updates the Roadmap in real-time so you always have the most up to date strategies at your fingertips.

Proven techniques and results

Everything in the Return to Work Roadmap is based on our extensive experience and results directly with relaunchers in many fields, after career breaks as long as over 20 years. We've got hundreds of success stories to prove it! Assessments, exercises, podcasts, videos, articles and worksheets are the results of our research and coaching work with relaunchers just like you. And, since it's an online course, you can start anytime and move at your own pace.

So just how does the Roadmap work?

5 Phases:
One for every step of your relaunch

Our unique 5 phase approach guides you through every step of the process. From figuring out "what you want to do all over again" to the tactical parts of the job search process customized especially for the relauncher, the iRelaunch Roadmap allows you to determine what steps are best for your unique needs.

Your Roadmap also includes our proprietary Relaunch Readiness Assessment, an invitation to join our private Facebook Group, and access to our Success Story Gallery - including hundreds of tips for networking, confidence building and more.

Here are a few kind words from relaunchers about iRelaunch's Return to Work Roadmap...

Kim McNeill

"I am LOVING the Roadmap and am only on Phase 1! I have listened to the first podcast, read the article and have downloaded the 3, 2, 1, (podcast) series to my iPhone. I made 6.5 pages of notes from that first podcast alone! I shared the course info with my friend in California who then signed up for the Roadmap course too, and we will be forming a group to help support each other."

Daniel Taetzsch

"The phases and steps display the years of work that Carol Fishman Cohen and the iRelaunch team have put into researching this unique career challenge...the Roadmap enables the relauncher to quickly get up to speed with access to a wealth of resources. Allowing the career relauncher to go through this process on-line at his/her own pace and availability is brilliant."

Roadmap Owner

"You stand as a source of endless inspiration to me personally and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet you at a time when I was ready to take the necessary steps to relaunch myself. What you did for me, and for so many others, is so powerful and life changing. I know you hear it every day of the week, but what you have provided through iRelaunch is an invitation to those who stepped away from professional life to reopen that door and to walk through it with a renewed sense of purpose, commitment and confidence with which to meet the future. -- from successful relauncher who relaunched after a 17-year career break"

I'm ready!

Phase 1: Make the most of your break

If you're thinking about returning to work, there are plenty of things you can do while on career break to get you back to and keep you at the top of your game. Phase 1 shows you how to reconnect personally and professionally, maintain momentum with buddies and groups of peers with relaunch goals, especially through the iRelaunch Return to Work Forum and start on your way to becoming a subject matter expert all over again during your career break.

Phase 2: Defining yourself: Clarity for the road ahead

Phase 2 will help you determine your readiness to return to the professional workforce. You'll take stock of what's working and not working in your life while you build your confidence and understand your work values. You'll determine your 4C's of relaunching, part of our custom program for determining the best professional fit for you.

Phase 3: Explore the right job for you

What's the best job for YOU? In this Phase, you'll use the next part of our custom program for determining the best professional fit to map the key functions for your ideal job and build your new career path based on the personal career exploration you completed in previous steps. At the end of this Phase, you'll determine your career exploration goals for the next 30 days.

Phase 4: Discover, build and activate your network

Studies show that tried and true networking is still the best way to find a job. In Phase 4 you'll build and activate your contact pools, learn the do's and don'ts of networking, and informational interviews. You'll also discover why LinkedIn is a gift to relaunchers.

Phase 5: Launch your search!

Now you're ready to get into the nuts and bolts of applying for the job and getting the offer! Phase 5 covers using social media to research potential employers, the elevator pitch, cover letters and resumes (including when and how to describe career-break activities) and LinkedIn profiles. We'll share some secrets about tricky interview questions (and how to ace them). We'll also cover salary negotiation.

It's your turn...

No matter what the reason for your break, it's your turn to find a fulfilling and enjoyable career.
