Springboard App

What is Springboard?

If you've spent years building a career in federal service or supporting it as a contractor, you already have what private and nonprofit sector employers are looking for. The problem isn't your experience. It's that nobody taught you how to translate it.

Springboard is a six-module, self-paced program designed specifically for federal professionals making the move to the private or nonprofit sector. Each module combines video lessons with hands-on worksheets, walking you step by step through every stage of your transition. It's designed to be completed in six weeks, on your own schedule.

What You'll Walk Away With

When you complete Springboard you'll have:

A career narrative you can deliver with confidence in any setting
A resume that clears AI screeners and speaks the language of private sector hiring managers
A LinkedIn profile optimized to be found by the right people
A practiced, polished interview approach that holds up under pressure
The clarity and confidence to evaluate an offer and negotiate without second-guessing yourself
Some practical tools you can use during those first few important weeks at your new job

Springboard is not a magic potion. You have to put in the work. But when you do, you won't be disappearing into the void anymore. You'll be someone hiring managers remember.

"Wendy and I met in business school and have been friends ever since, so I've watched her career up close for 20+ years. She's moved seamlessly between the private, federal and nonprofit worlds, and every time, she lands meaningful, substantial positions. These weren't accidental pivots. They were deliberate moves, executed well. She knows how to do this."

Laurie K. Lynn | Founder, Major Moxie Experiential Marketing

"Wendy and I worked together on multiple high-pressure, high-visibility events -- the kind where everything has to go right and there's no margin for error. She was the client and I was the vendor, and I can tell you from that vantage point: Wendy is the real deal. She shows up prepared, holds high standards, and delivers. When she builds something, it's built right."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Springboard right for me?

Springboard is designed for federal employees and contractors who are ready to make a move to the private or nonprofit sector, whether that move is imminent or still in the planning stages. If you have federal experience, a sense of where you want to go, and you're willing to do the work, this program was built for you.

Springboard is probably not the right fit if you're looking for a recruiter to place you, 1:1 coaching, a service that does the work for you, or a quick fix. This is a structured program that requires your active participation.

How long does it take to complete?

Springboard is designed to be completed in about six weeks, but it's fully self-paced. You move on your own schedule. Some members work through it faster. Others take longer. Your access doesn't expire.

What if I'm currently employed and just exploring my options?

That's actually a great time to go through Springboard. Doing this work before you're under pressure gives you the best results. Many of the strongest candidates are the ones who prepared before they needed to.

What are the two check-in sessions?

As a Springboard founding member you have access to two optional 30-minute check-ins with Wendy, which are available to you any time during the program. Use them however you'd like: to talk through where you are, get feedback on your resume or LinkedIn profile, or just think out loud with someone who's been on both sides of this transition. They're optional but useful. NOTE: The check-ins are offered to founding members while Springboard is in its early enrollment phase.

What if I have questions along the way?

Founding members can reach Wendy directly by email at wendy@springboard-app.com any time during your program. NOTE: Direct email access is offered to founding members while Springboard is in its early enrollment phase.

Is there a refund policy?

Not the right fit? Email me within 10 days of purchase for a full refund -- no questions asked.

Can I pay in installments?

Please email wendy@springboard-app.com if you're interested in breaking the payment into 2 installments of $248.

I'm not a federal employee or contractor. Can I still enroll?

Springboard was designed with federal professionals in mind, and the content reflects that context throughout. That said, if your background shares the core challenge -- translating institutional experience into private and nonprofit sector language -- you may find significant value in the program. If you're unsure, book a free discovery call and we'll figure it out together.

Still not sure?

Book a free 30-minute discovery call with me, Wendy. I won't spend thirty minutes trying to talk you into something that isn't the right fit. But I will ask you a few questions and tell you honestly whether Springboard is right for your situation.
