Need a boost?

Let someone give you a Leg Up. When you’re at a loss, having a good chat with the right person might be just what you need to get to where you want to be.

Can you open a door?

We are all capable of giving someone else a boost in life. No matter what you do, we invite you to volunteer an hour of your time to chat with someone who might benefit from your perspective.

If it’s all about who you know, what happens when you don’t know anyone?

When you’re starting out in your career, considering a change, curious about a different path, or just feeling a bit stuck, it can be hard to know where to turn, who to ask, or how to even start thinking about it.

A good conversation with the right person can make all the difference. Leg Up wants to facilitate those good conversations.

People (who are not us) have said nice things!

 

[…] a really wonderful experience — super knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging [and] sent me loads of info after our meeting so I continue exploring different avenues

Leg Up helps break down the barriers of trying something new. During my hour-long chat, I got to speak to an architect who helped me discover information that would have otherwise not been accessible to me. That conversation wound up influencing my career path.

To my great surprise, [Leg Up] already found someone who wants to do very similar work to me, and today we had our recommended hour of conversation. It hadn’t occurred to me that one of the consequences might be that I’d be more inspired after, but there we are.

My Leg Up was great! I got what I was looking for - general guidance, encouragement and some specific directions.
