Making Headway
A Program of Headway Strategies Consulting
Making Headway
Success Has More Than One Path

Every episode is a real conversation with someone who built a career worth talking about — the choices, the detours, and what they'd tell their younger self. This isn't a lecture about picking a major. It's evidence, from people who've actually lived the outcome.

Our Mission

To help students, parents, and educators cut through the noise and make informed, confident career decisions — grounded in real stories rather than assumptions.

Why We Started

Too many young people are pushed toward a single "right" path. We started Making Headway to show that success has more than one path — and that the right one depends on the individual.

What’s Right for ME?

A person’s career path will morph over time due to changes in interests, changing technology and the economy. Making Headway provides tools, relevant information, and stories from successful individuals on how they managed their careers.

Know Yourself

Understand your interests, strengths and goals to help you determine what success means to you.

Know the Career

Based on your goals and interests, learn about potential career opportunities, including education, and what a workday actually looks like

Know the Path

Balancing opportunities to establish your path to achieve your career goals

Know the Investment
