The Becoming You Certification Program is a five-month hybrid training — three days in person at NYU, followed by monthly online sessions through final certification.
You'll master the complete methodology, the assessments, and the frameworks for guiding others through the work. You complete the program with a one-on-one certification interview with Suzy Welch and a licensing agreement to deliver the Becoming You methodology independently.
In partnership with the NYU Stern Initiative on Purpose & Flourishing

My partner and I participated and are basking in some amazing post-event a-ha!s and have been digging into next steps both as individuals thinking about career next steps and as a couple. Also, I walked out and immediately called my soon-to-graduate son and asked him to attend.

I loved Becoming You. It gave me the language to wrap who I am in a bow. I’m an extrovert who wants a big, fun life where I can use my voice, but I didn’t always have the data to back that up. The class assured me that I am exactly who I think I am, but it also gave me some notes on where I need to be more authentic in those values.
Shelbi J.
'Wow' is all I kept saying to myself, as I was blown away by the actionable information I gained in class. I can't stress enough how valuable the mix of qualitative and quantitative feedback was. I'll be able to forecast the next era of my career much more informed about who I am and what I'm primed to offer.

I left the class with a full heart and a mind brimming with possibilities. A faint light now guides me toward my purpose, and I’m ready to do the hard work to follow it. The work we did in class has become my compass - pointing me exactly where I need to go.
