Built around a question a lot of mid-career professionals ask quietly.
"Who am I supposed to be talking to about this?" This course exists because that question rarely has an obvious answer once you are past the first decade of a career.
Mentorship advice tends to stop at "find a mentor"
Most career development content covers finding a single mentor and stops there. It rarely addresses what happens when one relationship cannot cover everything you need: technical judgment, political awareness, blunt feedback, and introductions to people outside your current circle.
Timeho Lusepi was built to fill that specific gap. Rather than another general networking guide, the course focuses narrowly on the mechanics of building and maintaining an informal advisory group, sometimes called a personal board of directors, across the mid-career stretch when guidance tends to be hardest to find.
A small team with backgrounds in coaching, HR, and organizational research
The material draws on practices observed across executive coaching engagements, internal mentorship program design, and organizational psychology research on informal networks. It is not affiliated with any single employer or academic institution.
Coaching practice
Years spent working one-on-one with professionals navigating promotions, transitions, and stalled trajectories, noticing the same networking gaps repeat across very different industries.
Internal mentorship design
Experience building and running formal mentorship pairing programs inside organizations, and observing where formal structure succeeds and where it quietly fails participants.
Applied research on informal networks
Research on career development consistently points to informal advisory relationships as a meaningful factor in career satisfaction and mobility, though the specific mechanisms vary by field. This course translates that general body of thinking into a practical, repeatable process rather than abstract theory, without claiming to replace professional coaching or therapy.
Practical over theoretical, templates over lectures
Each module pairs a short recorded lesson with a concrete artifact: a worksheet, a checklist, or an email template you can adapt immediately. The goal is that within a week of finishing a module, you have actually sent an email or had a conversation, not just absorbed a concept.
The course does not promise specific career outcomes. What it offers is a repeatable framework and language for conversations that many professionals find awkward to initiate on their own.
A good fit if any of this sounds familiar
You are ten or more years into a career and realize your early mentors have drifted away or moved on.
You are considering a transition, whether industry, function, or seniority level, and want outside perspective before deciding.
You have thought about reaching out to someone more senior but were unsure how to phrase the request without feeling awkward.
You have an advisory relationship that has gone quiet and are unsure whether to revive it, formally end it, or let it fade.
