Three Giant Leaps

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you wanted to ask and more!

Over the years we have been asked all sorts of questions about how we help people change careers and discover their calling. In fact - over the years we have been asked so many questions that we decided to compile a list of the most frequently asked.

Three Giant Leaps has a very unique and effective approach to helping people transition into new careers but that doesn’t mean it’s complicated or inaccessible. So – here is all you need to know. No weird language, or buzz words. Just plain, simple answers.

Refreshing, isn’t it?

• Can you help me get any job I want?

  We will help you identify your talents, interests and new possibilities, but we don’t find you a job — we are not a recruitment consultancy. Three Giant Leaps will help you discover what motivates and excites you, and also what bores you (zzzzz….) We will also help you discover and identify positive and negative influences that have influenced the career choices you have made. Once you know how and why you are where you are, it will be much easier to help you identify the work you were born to do..

• Can you find jobs for me, help with deal with interview questions and help fix up my resume so that I can get jobs more easily?

  Nope. We are like “Phase One” of a job search – you have to start with yourself and find your rudder. In other words, we help people discover their calling, their dream career, the perfect job, and then develop a plan that will get them there. Once we have helped you orientate yourself in the world of work, you can then start worrying about the font type on your resume!

• Is your program like the Myers Briggs tests that I have done in the past?

  No – We do not perform a psychometric test, though we do offer a self-assessment to give you a sense about how closely your career interests and passions are aligned with your current work situation. Myers-Briggs and other assessments can be very helpful in giving you an idea of work that may suit you, but our focus is helping you discover work you will love doing for the rest of your life. Our Philosophy is simple. Doing work you are good at does not mean you love doing it. When you are in the right job it just doesn’t feel like work (and Monday mornings won’t suck as much either!)

• Can I complete the program in a weekend?

  Changing your life’s direction can be like changing the direction of a fast moving freight train. It can be done, but it takes effort and planning to do successfully! At Three Giant Leaps, we don’t offer a “quick fix” Our patented model is derived from a combination of modern psychology, ancient wisdom and practical experience, and we have refined our process to ensure it generates positive change for every person who completes it.

• Why does the program take 14 weeks?

  We have tried to offer the process in less time, but find it is less effective. In the grand scheme of things, fourteen weeks is a small amount of time to make a commitment, if it means you wake up every morning looking forward to going to work.

• Is there a way to accelerate the program and complete it in half the time?

  You can complete an individual program with a coach in 8 weeks, if you are ready to move at a faster pace and make completing the program a priority.

• What if I don’t like my coach?

  We understand the importance of having a good “fit” between you and your coach. If after your first session you feel that your coach isn’t right for you, let us know and we will do our best to match you with a coach that is a better fit.

• What tangible benefits will I see from taking the program?

  You may have heard the expression “You can take a horse to water but you can’t make it drink”? In this case, it’s true!

  The success of your program depends mostly on you and the effort you put into it. That said, the goal is to finish the program with a purpose statement, a definition of your perfect career and a plan you’ll create to go after it.

  We have a 98% customer satisfaction rate. This number is based on clients who have completed the entire program. Results vary according to different factors including where someone is in their lives, what they aspire to do, and the level of commitment they put into their program. For some people, the result is a total career or life change, or a career/life realignment, while for others, it’s greater clarity around “hunches” they have had about aligning passions with work.

  Overall, our programs are designed to give you a very clear picture about what you would best like to do with your life and point you in a happier and more satisfying direction.

• Will this change who I am, or what I do, or both?

  Our programs are designed to help you be the most authentic person you can be. The whole point is to access your natural abilities, strengths and passions and put them into practice. It’s about being your best on all levels. Sometimes this requires you to change what you do, but it never requires you to change who you are.

• What exactly will be the structure of our meetings, voice, email, person-to-person meetings?

  All our adult programs are conducted over the phone with one of our accredited coaches. Group sessions will have a maximum of twelve people and sessions last one and a half hours per week. One2One programs are one hour per week. If you participate in our group programs, and you miss your weekly class, you can listen to a recording of the missed group session. Coaches will be available for the duration of your program to answer any questions you have over email.


• Why do you make people do homework? How long does this take and is it really necessary?

  Everyone loves homework right? Wrong! It’s true – every week you will have homework to do which needs to be completed before the start of your next session. Homework normally takes about an hour or to complete, but can sometimes take longer. One of the reasons our program is so effective is that it combines coaching with a self-directed system of learning. Like any type of learning, you will get out as much as you put in. If you want a great experience and exceptional results, then spending as much time as possible completing the homework and actively participating during the sessions is the way to go. You get out what you put in.

• Do I have to attend seminars that encourage me to aggressively market to my friends and family?

  No – unlike other programs that are available on the market, we do not insist you call 6 of your family and friends and insist they attend some slightly kooky seminar. We are confident that if you have a great experience and we help you move into a job you love you will probably tell your friend all about us anyway

• Is Three Giant Leaps aligned with any type of religious group?

  No – we are not a religious organization and we do not align ourselves with any specific religious group. We strive to honor and respect the personal choices of our clients including any religious or spiritual affiliation they choose or not.

• If your programs really do help people discover the job or career they were born to do then surely kids should be going through your course before they leave school.

  We couldn’t agree more! We have developed a program specifically for teenagers called “Do Your Thing!” We want to make sure that every teenager leaves school with a clear idea of what their talents are, what they are passionate about and what type of work is going to make them happy and motivated for the rest of their life. We also are developing programs to work with kids in college, to help them turn their talents and passions into viable work.
