The Oxford Program of Career Change

How It Works

Once you join the program, you'll be led from start-to-finish through our 4-phase process -- 10+ years in the making that specializes in helping people in even the most complex situations.

  • It's purpose is to design and find a career/job/business that you would love that fits YOU, YOUR situation, and your financial requirements.

  • You will be amazed at the discoveries and optimism you experience from the first day.

The Oxford Method utilizes 3 "technologies" to ensure optimal results.

PHASE 1: Understand how you are unique and where you are most talented.

This phase includes a series of advanced career tests and diagnostic exercises designed to reveal more about you than you probably ever thought possible. 

Our exclusive career testing zooms your options down to the best 1 or 2 that fit your specific set of interests, talents, financial needs, and the life that you want, so you can wake up in the morning full of zest and passion as you prepare for another wonderful day doing something you love!

A powerful tool we use, the Highlands Ability BatteryTM (part of our Premier program) is the gold standard among tests assessing human abilities or aptitudes.

More than any other test, it helps you understand the type(s) of work you should pursue and the types you should definitely not pursue.

"...career ideas that I would never have known... "

"For a while now, I have been wandering all over the place, making bad career decisions and being influenced by external factors, rather than my own sense of myself. This program has analyzed my skills, passions and innate character in a systematic and comprehensive fashion, and helped me discover career ideas that I would never have known before now."

- Beverlee Annis, Springfield, WA


  "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."

~ Mark Twain
