A four-week, small-group program designed to help translate your experience, navigate the job market, and move forward clearly and confidently.
This is a structured cohort experience with live sessions, coaching, and peer support, built specifically for government professionals navigating the transition into a private-sector role, including in tech.
Government-to-Private Sector Transition Cohort
The next cohort starts Tuesday, January 27.
Why this program exists
Leaving government service is not a simple career change.
Moving into the private sector often means stepping into a different set of expectations, language, and norms. Titles, responsibilities, and impact are interpreted differently, and many accomplished professionals struggle to explain their experience in ways that resonate outside government.
This uncertainty can make the transition feel isolating and harder than it needs to be. The Government-to-Private Sector Transition Cohort exists to provide structure, clarity, and support as you navigate this exciting and often scary next chapter.
What the Government Transition Cohort is
The cohort runs for four weeks and is designed for active participation. Each week includes a live group session, supported by coaching and a private peer community between sessions.
Duration: Four weeks
Format: Live virtual group sessions
Session length: 60 minutes per week
Cohort size: Small, intentionally limited groups
Coaching: One 1:1 coaching session included
Community: Private Signal group with ongoing discussion and regular facilitation during the program and for two weeks after it ends

You feel uncertain about how your experience translates
You want structure, accountability, and direct feedback as you navigate next steps
You are ready to engage actively in a small group setting
This cohort may not be the right fit if
You are primarily seeking resume editing or job postings
You are looking for a one-time information session rather than a multi-week program
You are not able to participate in live sessions
What clients and workshop participants say
While this specific cohort is new, the approach and content draw directly from my work in one-on-one coaching and from feedback on my government transition workshops.
For those employed by the Federal Government and in the current market searching for a job, I would highly recommend Robyn's 3-part, 45 minute webinar series for navigating their career transition. She provides excellent information and resources to be more competitive and successful when applying and interviewing for your next job. If you're entering the market or have been struggling to find your next job, this webinar series is worth your time. Robyn also offered individual coaching sessions for those wishing to discuss their personal situations and dive deeper into exploring areas for improvement in their job searches. Robyn is a wealth of expertise and skills as a professional and coach you will want to learn and benefit from!

I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to chart a new course including conducting job searches, interviewing and more. I had the good fortune to attend several webinars Robyn offered in support of those looking to make a shift to the private sector. She has a wealth of experience in the private and public sectors and landing jobs in leading corporations like Tesla and Meta. I found her webinars hugely insightful and practical with tools to help you navigate career changes.

Robyn's positive energy is contagious. If you're at a crossroads in your career, definitely consider hiring her. She'll guide you through your options and help you think about possibilities you wouldn't have considered on your own. Given today's dynamic work environment, the ability to pivot smoothly is critical and Robyn makes that possible!
