Through the Independent Study Program, you’ll recognize your capacity in all areas of your life – not only your career. Proven to uncover and build upon your individual brilliance, this powerful training guides you to identify and break through self-imposed limits and puts you on the path to a richer experience.

Throughout the program, you will connect more deeply with the essence of who you are and the highlights of your journey. At the completion of the program, you’ll be able to recognize, embrace and communicate your strengths, style and passions, and learn to bring that power to all areas of your life.

Specifically designed for the busy professional, the all-online Independent Study Program enables you to go at your best pace to completion in the time frame that works best for you. You can participate from the comfort of your home, office or favorite study space. Each module consists of content-rich audio classes, written summaries and accompanying worksheets to support you to take aligned actions.

Here’s a sneak peek into the modules:

Module 1: Reveal Your Brilliance (critical for focusing your career and tailoring your resume!): The key to successful career development is your ability to understand your dynamic brilliance – and how to share it. In this module, you’ll radically expand your abilities in this area.
Modules 2 & 3: Express Your Unique Definition of Success Parts I and II: Each of us carries self-sabotaging, limiting beliefs that keep us from achieving success on our own terms. In these two modules, you’ll break free from these as you consciously choose your personal success criteria – and design a blueprint for achieving them.
Module 4: Align Your Life & Work: To create lasting change, you must master the tool of focus. This module is all about teaching you to be more productive. The skills you develop will yield a solid payoff in the years ahead.
Module 5: Create Your Prosperity Model: Now it’s time to take a close look at your financial situation and what you truly need to earn, given your new Unique Definition of Success. This module guides you to develop a practical plan as you explore new opportunities for prosperity in your life and career.
Modules 6 & 7: Choose and Manage Your Super Support Team: In these complex times, leaders must remain both empowered and centered to succeed. These modules teach innovative and valuable tools to build a high-functioning support team that handles everything you need done in life and work that’s outside your personal zone of genius.

"Before I started the Brilliance-Based® Career Success System, I still felt like there were missing elements, that things were not coming together as quickly as I desired. I had this major shift as a result of this program. I feel like I am in more of a power position. I have to say, it was one of the biggest shifts I have made this year. It was quite profound." -- Lynn Smith

"I was updating my resume and the work I did with the Brilliance-Based® Career Success System (particularly the SIQ, needs, values and priorities) was instrumental to me. Thank you so much, Debra!" -- Jessica Zambarano
