Challenge Hero

Developed by Dr. Rose Shumba β€” award-winning mentor, NYT-featured expert, and career-change guide.

You Know Which Roles Might Fit You, But You're Still Missing

  • Confidence in which role to pursue
  • A clear, step-by-step transition plan
  • Support to execute without wasting time or money

What Keeps Most People Stuck And How to Avoid It

❌ Skipping the self-assessment and jumping into training blindly

Starting a bootcamp without knowing if you have the foundational skillsβ€”or what gaps need filling first.

❌ Investing in certifications before knowing the right role

Like spending $12K on a pen-testing bootcamp when you're actually a GRC fit.

❌ Chasing job titles that don't match your background or strengths

Applying to SOC roles when you hate shift work and thrive in structured 9–5 environments.

❌ Trying to "learn everything" without a plan or mentor

Random YouTube videos + random certs = random results and burnout.

The Challenge gives you the structure successful career changers use to reach six figures faster β€” without these costly detours.

The Solution

In three focused sessions, you'll assess your capabilities, validate your ONE role, and leave with a complete 6–12 month transition plan you can execute with confidence.

Your 3-Day Roadmap

We build it together. Through guided worksheets and live exercises, you'll complete each step with Dr. Rose Shumba β€” so you leave with finished work, not homework.

Day 1: ASSESS

  • Assess your capabilities: understand your current tech foundations and transferable skills
  • Get the industry landscape: see all cybersecurity careers and how emerging technologies may affect them
  • Identify what's holding you back (and create a plan to address it)
You'll leave knowing: "Here's exactly where I am, what I'm strong at, and what I need to work on"

Day 2: DISCOVER

  • Choose your best-fit role from your top 2–3 matches with confidence
  • Get the exact resources, certifications, and skills needed for YOUR path
  • Stop guessing and start building real momentum toward your target role
You'll leave knowing: "This is MY role, and here's exactly what I need to pursue it"

Day 3: BUILD

  • Map out skills, certifications, and portfolio projects in the right order
  • Set a realistic timeline and budget that works for your situation
  • Plan how to balance your current job, family, and transition without burning out
You'll leave with: A complete, executable plan you can start implementing Monday

Investment in Your Future

If you hired a career coach to build this personalized transition roadmap, it would cost $2,000+.
You're getting the complete 3-day experience, live coaching, and your executable plan for a fraction of that cost β€” but only 20 spots are available at these rates.
