Success Lab Partners

Welcome! You’ve found a community of ambitious young professionals who are building their careers—and each other—up. We’re not here to commiserate about what’s missing. We’re here for those already excelling in their roles but craving more: in-person learning and practice, deeper engagement, fresh opportunities, and a built-in professional network.

Why Success Lab?

The Insecurity That Comes from Living Your Work Life Online

Young adults are facing a well-documented loneliness crisis. That hit to your confidence that comes from viewing your peers’ LinkedIn profiles? That can hold you back from enlisting others in your career search and professional development. The workplace, once a hub for connection and identity, now too often leaves early professionals isolated and adrift. The result? A lack of both opportunity to connect and skills for connecting.

The Learning Gap of the Flexible Workforce

Hybrid and remote work may offer flexibility, but they’ve stripped away everyday learning moments: overhearing a tough client call, debriefing after a meeting, or watching a seasoned leader navigate conflict. What was once absorbed organically now has to be learned with intention. This isn’t a generational flaw — it’s a systems gap.

The Professional Development You’re Missing Out On

Today’s early career professionals face a perfect storm. Post-Covid workplaces with remote and hybrid work arrangements, tighter hiring budgets, and the rise of AI have left many young professionals under-supported, underdeveloped, and uncertain. As Gen Z and younger Millennials have entered the workforce, companies are scaling back investment in early talent, including onboarding and new hire programs, internal career planning, and ongoing skills and leadership development— leaving them without both formal training and the informal networking that once shaped careers.

AI and the Vanishing First Rung

AI is also reshaping entry-level work. Administrative and support roles that once served as launchpads are disappearing — roles that used to provide invaluable proximity to mentors, exposure to leaders, and a safe space to build skills. Without them, the first rung of the career ladder is increasingly fragile.

Course Snapshot

  • Exceptional mentorship in navigating the corporate world

    “Success Lab provided exceptional mentorship in navigating the corporate world. Through targeted questions, Vanessa guided my peers and me to rethink how we approach both internal and external conflicts in the workplace. Rather than simply providing solutions, the process helped us reach our own conclusions and arrive at the best possible outcomes.”

    — Jasmine, 25

  • Building on a Foundation of Growth

     "I first worked with Allison during a very vulnerable time in my life, and her support gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to move forward. With her guidance, I was able to land my current role, something I truly couldn’t have done without her encouragement and wisdom. Even after that success, I wished I could continue learning from her. That’s why I’m so excited to join a Success Lab cohort and keep growing on the foundation Allison helped me build."

    —Abigail, 27

  • From Challenge to Breakthrough

    “Success Lab helped me narrow down a significant but previously unrecognized challenge in my professional environment. I developed practical strategies to address it, and that process of pinpointing key areas for growth then became the foundation for a group session. The shift—from personal reflection to collective discussion—created a rich, collaborative learning experience.”

    — Carlotta, 32
