Job Search, Promotion, and Career Clarity: The Mid-Career GPS Podcast
Do You Want a Year Of Career Support For Less Than 1% of Your Salary?
Are you ready to trade holiday noise for real momentum? I’m opening the doors to a focused, private space for mid-career professionals who want clear guidance, practical tools, and steady support to lead better, land the right roles, and build a career that compounds in value. Budgets have tightened and conferences disappeared, but your growth doesn’t need to stall. For a limited time, you can lock in a full year of the Mid-Career GPS membership and get a bonus 45-minute one-on-one strategy session with me to map your 2026 plan.
Inside the membership, you’ll get a complete library of trainings and masterclasses, access to new live Q&A and Ask Me Anything calls, and a distraction-free community hosted off social media. You can post questions and get direct answers, learn from peers tackling the same challenges, and work at your pace with recordings that fit your schedule. December’s masterclass focuses on planning your 2026 career goals, so when we meet for your private session, we dive straight into strategy: prioritizing goals, sequencing actions, and building a simple dashboard to track progress.
Whether you’re targeting a promotion, navigating a pivot, or leveling up your leadership, the framework is the same: set a plan, execute small wins, review, and iterate. The annual membership is $670 and the price doesn’t change; the limited-time Black Friday bonus is the private 45-minute session at no extra cost. You’ll have until March 31, 2026, to schedule that session, giving you time to complete the masterclass and gather the materials that make coaching high-impact.
If you’ve felt stuck, undervalued, or underutilized, this is a chance to reset with structure and support. Join us, build your mid-career GPS, and make 2026 the year your work and value finally align. Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs a boost, and leave a review to help more professionals find this resource.

Hello, my friends. I'm dropping in one last time on this Thanksgiving Day weekend to share with you my third and final Black Friday promotion. This one's the best one yet. So stick around for a couple of minutes. So many of you have seen your organization scale back on learning and development training. Maybe you weren't able to go to that conference you really wanted to go to this year. And admittedly, I've talked to many mid-career professionals this year who would have loved to have had the opportunity to hire a career coach, but simply couldn't afford it. I get it. Just like you, I go to the grocery store and I know that prices aren't any lower, and I still got to put gas in the car, and bills still have to get paid. But this weekend, as you're shopping for gifts and you're thinking about what the holidays are going to be like, you might be wanting something for yourself. And this is the opportunity right now to do something for you. So listen very closely to this question. What if you could get a year's worth of career support, guidance, get your questions answered, and get the training you need to level up your leadership and career for less than 1% of your salary? Today's Black Friday offer is one many of you have been waiting for, and you've got 48 hours to get in on it. If you've ever wanted ongoing support, if you want help navigating your job, your leadership, your career decisions, if you want to be a part of a community of mid-career professionals who get it, they understand and know and experiencing the same things you're going through. And if you've ever wanted coaching but weren't ready to commit to a full three-month coaching package, this is your moment. My friends, this weekend and for the next 48 hours until Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025 at 3 a.m. Eastern, whenever you listen to this, I am offering a year's worth of support within the Mid-Career GPS membership community and a private one-on-one 45-minute coaching session with me. So in this offer, you're going to get a full year of membership within the mid-career GPS membership community. Now, what you will get is you will get the already created library of monthly trainings and masterclasses and recorded office hours and ask me anything calls. But you're going to still get those monthly trainings and masterclasses. You're still going to be able to come to those new live QA Ask Me Anything calls. You're going to be able to post your questions inside the community and get them answered by me. You're going to be able to figure out how you're finding that next job you're going to love or how to lean in and love the career you have, being a better leader. You will have job search resources. And most importantly, you will have a supportive private community. It is hosted in Kajabi, which is where I have everything. It's not on Facebook, it's not on social media. This is a private community of like-minded professionals that you can access whenever you want. The people in this community like you are all figuring out whatever is next for them in their careers. But here's the exclusive Black Friday bonus. Inside the community, you get access to me within the community, essentially within a group. But what if you and I could work together one-on-one? That's why I am offering a private 45-minute coaching session with me. So in that session, you and I are going to have a powerful coaching conversation to strategize your 2026 game plan. Whether it's about finding that new job or being a better leader or leveling up your career in whatever capacity, I want you to know that I recognize the importance and value of having some one-on-one time. And if you want some individual support, this is for you. See, when you sign up for the annual membership inside the community, you get immediate access. And December's masterclass is going to be all about planning your 2026 career goals. And when you join the membership, I want you to watch this masterclass and do the work before you and I meet for your coaching session. That's why I'm giving you until March 31st, 2026, to schedule your private coaching session with me. Now, in that coaching session, you're going to get clarity. You will get a plan. You will get support. And most importantly, you will get momentum. If you are feeling like you are stuck, undervalued, and underutilized, that struggle is real. And I want to help you break free from that. So what if this jump start that you could get with me within the community and our private coaching session is going to help you get your career on track for an incredible 2026? So here's all you got to do. You can check the show notes. You can go to my website, johnnarrell.com forward slash BlackHyphen Friday, or click the Black Friday tab in the navigation bar. Now, the normal cost for the membership is $670. Okay. That price is not changing. That's the price you are going to pay. But as part of the special Black Friday promotion, you are getting the bonus one-on-one coaching session with me. It's time. It is time to make 2026 your year. And if you want to work with me, and if you want to work with me for an entire year to do so within the community, now's your time. Okay? Mid-career is not simply about just finding a new job. It is about what comes after that and what comes after that. So often when I work with my private coaching clients and I help them find that job or career they're going to love, they continue working with me because they appreciate the coaching support and they're looking to figure out what that next step for them is going to be. That's why the membership community is so vital because it gives you that ongoing support. And you get that support for an entire year. Look, I don't expect you to come to every single call, but they're recorded. You may not watch the masterclass when it drops, but it may be more relevant for you at another time during the year. For $670, you have an opportunity to get a year's worth of career and leadership support that essentially is a less than 1% of your salary. Are you worth it? Are you worth it to invest less than 1% of your salary in your career right now? Now's the time. This is an incredible value, and I want to be here to help you. And I want to grow this community more than ever. So that's why, for this limited time through Tuesday, December 2nd until 3 a.m. Eastern, you have an opportunity to come on in, join the membership community at the annual rate of $670, and get the year's worth of support and that private coaching session with me. Okay? Now, this bonus coaching session only applies to the annual membership. You can join for a month, $67 for a month. But wouldn't it be better if you joined for the year and got the private coaching session with me so we can strategize your 2026? V isit https://johnneral.com/black-friday and join me on Tuesday for another regularly scheduled episode of the Mid Career GPS podcast. Whatever your Thanksgiving has been, I hope it's been memorable. Please travel safely, be kind to each other, and let's start building your mid career GPS right now.
