"There are not enough words in the English vocabulary to express the level of gratitude I have for Dr. Sanders and the Design Not Default Program. When I started working with Dr. Sanders I was frustrated with my career, and I could not figure out the exact reasons why. After a few conversations with Dr. Sanders I was able to pinpoint exactly where my missteps happened, and how I had by default landed in my current position. Dr. Sanders worked with me to envision, actively construct, and develop measurable steps to design the career I wanted for myself. I learned how to avoid the pitfalls that appear to be progress but leads to a dead end. This program has been far more valuable to me than the investment I made to participate in it. Dr. Sanders is an expert, and she will help you design the career YOU WANT! I highly recommend her and the DND program. "

Hello, my fearless and powerful friend!
It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Dr. Randee and I am dedicated to helping women advance into senior and executive level positions. I want to see you elevate in your career trajectory.
I am often asked, "why" do you want to help...because I was once you. See, I took the traditional path to climb the career ladder – pursued higher education, even acquired a PhD; started at the entry level and worked my way up – analyst, manager, and director and BAM!!!! “Who placed that glass ceiling there?”
In my mind, not me – I’m a pretty BOLD and outspoken woman, who desired to go higher and was met with opposition. At that pivotal moment, I decided to take the opposition and turned it into an opportunity. In my process, I gained clarity on my career goals, discovered my strengths, and created a road map to get me from where I was to where I wanted to be.
Trust me, I know what you are going through. You are not alone. Give yourself permission to design your great self.
If you know you are ready to achieve a stronger sense of self, develop your voice, and own your power to lead so that you can attain that high level position that you are ready for...let me show you how!
Dr. Randee L. Sanders is a Career Strategist who has 20 plus years of experience in leadership development and organizational engagement.
