What is the BE-EDGE Method?
The BE-EDGE Method provides a step-by-step guide that connects job seekers to target employers through a process of case consulting. It creates an opportunity for the new or established professional to carve out their own space in an industry of choice, by establishing a relationship of trust with and proving their value to an industry insider.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
BE-EDGE provides a pathway to discover your direction and build your Boutique Employability—your unique edge that connects who you are with the opportunities you want. Through assessments, tools, and real-world portfolio projects, BE-EDGE guides you in shaping your personal strategy, professional voice, and value in the market—helping you stay confident, adaptable, and relevant in the future of work.
BE-EDGE is designed for women in mid-career, especially those who are asking, “What’s next?” after years of experience in their field. Whether you’re seeking a new challenge, re-entering the workforce, or realigning your career with your personal goals, BE-EDGE helps you rediscover your strengths, reposition your expertise, and build your confidence for the future of work.
We start by helping you understand who you are—your strengths, weaknesses, and how you approach your professional growth. We offer two FREE assessments to help you shape your next step.
- The “Are You Ready for the Future of Work?” assessment measures your Boutique Employability—your psychological and professional readiness to create a career that truly fits you and your niche in the market.
- The Positioning Strategy assessment identifies what strategy type works for you and help you develop and implement that.
If you’re feeling unsure about what’s next in your career
→ Start with our Personal Positioning Strategy assessment and course. It helps you understand your goals, define your direction, and build confidence in your “what’s next” move.
If you want to practice your skills and create your professional space
→ Begin with Becoming a Case Consultant (BCC): a self-paced, challenge-based course where you solve real client problems, sharpen your consulting skills, and build your confidence.
→ Then, take it further with Making Your Consulting Case (MYCC): where you present your consulting project to potential employers or supporters who can open new opportunities for you.
If you’re looking for connection and a sense of belonging
→ Join our BE-EDGE Consult-a-thon. It’s a collaborative experience where you work with others, mentors, and real clients to create impact together—building that “we’re in this together” energy.
Unlike traditional career coaching that only tells you what to do next, BE-EDGE helps you build it. We don’t just focus on advice — we give you a structured method or strategy to take action.
Our approach centers on Boutique Employability — designing a career that fits you, not the other way around. Through our assessments, you gain clarity about your direction; through hands-on consulting projects, you build real experience and confidence. By the end, you’ll have a clear strategy and a portfolio that shows your edge in the professional market.
Yes! BE-EDGE supports both individuals and organizations through its unique approach to building Boutique Employability.
For individuals, BE-EDGE helps you discover your direction, build your confidence, and gain real experience through tools, assessments, and hands-on consulting projects. It’s designed to help you craft a career that fits you and stand out in the professional market.
For partners, such as universities, businesses, and nonprofit organizations, BE-EDGE provides structured programs to strengthen your community, mentorship, and collaboration while helping members or employees grow their personal and professional edge.
Together, BE-EDGE creates value for both individuals seeking clarity and organizations looking to empower their people and prepare them for the future of work.
