The launch follows the success of Stegman’s critically acclaimed book, Discover Meaningful Work: A Career Transition Workbook for Professionals in the Tech Industry, which has been described as “a modern-day What Color Is Your Parachute? for tech.”

Stegman says, "After the exciting reception of my book, which distills over 30 years of experience into a practical, actionable guide for tech professionals seeking alignment between their work and their values, I was inspired to put my signature system into practical use.
