BG5 Career and Business Cycles Certification

Upon completion of this one semester program, you will become certified to offer BG5 Career and Business Cycles Sessions to your clients to empower them to successfully navigate the natural cycles of their careers, businesses, and life.

Just like life – our careers, work, and businesses also have natural rhythms and cycles. From starting our careers; to changing positions, jobs, or professions; to retirement. From starting a business; to seeing it flourish; to closing the doors, selling it, or passing it along to the next generation.

Knowing how the cycles affect, change, and flow through our lives in terms of our career or business can help us:

  • Let go and move forward when a cycle has completed.
  • Support and empower others in times of transition to give direction, guidance, and understanding.
  • Recognize daily, yearly, and broader cycle themes to take advantage the frequency.
  • Understand how broader cycles affect our career or business role at certain times of our life.
  • Gain a deeper insight into the Life Aspects of our BG5 Career Design.
  • Naturally relax into the flow of the cycles that affect our of our career, business and life purpose.
