A Merconsults Mentoring Program

Beyond the Title

Build a Career You Love Without Losing Yourself in It

Designed for ambitious women — and open to anyone navigating the same terrain
The Problem No One Names

No one teaches us this.

We're taught how to interview. How to network. How to earn promotions. How to become high performers.

But very few people teach us how to build a successful career without tying our entire identity to our job.

So many ambitious professionals spend the early and middle years of their careers chasing the next achievement — the next title, the next promotion, the next opportunity. They become indispensable to their teams but disconnected from themselves.

Then one day, something changes. A reorganization. A difficult manager. A layoff. A promotion that doesn't feel as fulfilling as expected. Burnout that quietly builds over time.

And suddenly they're forced to ask a question they never thought to ask:

"Who am I outside of work?"

I created Beyond the Title because I wish someone had asked me that question sooner.

This program is designed with women in mind — and open to any ambitious professional who wants to excel in their career while building a life, identity, and sense of confidence that exists independently from any company, role, or title.

Women report burnout at significantly higher rates than their male counterparts — across multiple years of workplace research.

"This isn't about working less. This isn't about lowering your ambitions. This isn't about rejecting corporate success. It's about becoming intentional."

— Myrlene Laroche, Founder
What We Work On Together

Three pillars. One complete foundation.

Every session, resource, and conversation is built around these three areas — because lasting success requires all three working together.

Pillar 01
🧭
Building Your Career Strategy
  • How corporate organizations actually work
  • Managing visibility and relationships
  • Developing executive presence early
  • Navigating promotions and career moves
  • Building a reputation people remember
Pillar 02
🌱
Building Your Identity Beyond Work
  • Defining who you are outside your job title
  • Creating personal goals separate from corporate goals
  • Confidence that isn't tied to performance reviews
  • Establishing boundaries without sacrificing ambition
  • Building resilience during uncertainty and change
Pillar 03
🚀
Building Future Options
  • Personal branding and thought leadership
  • Networking with intention
  • Side projects and passion pursuits
  • Financial and career independence
  • Creating opportunities instead of waiting for them
Is This For You?

You're in the right place if…

  • You're early or mid-career and building something that matters
  • You're ambitious, high-performing, and driven
  • You're navigating a career transition, plateau, or crossroads
  • You feel pressure to "have it all figured out" — and it's exhausting
  • You want guidance you can't get from your manager or your company
  • You want to build a successful career and a fulfilling life
Ambition without direction is exhausting.
Whether you're 3 years in or 13, the questions are often the same: Am I building the right thing? Am I losing myself in the process? Where do I actually want to go from here? This is the space to work through them.

The Goal

The goal isn't balance.
The goal is ownership.

Career
Own your direction, your choices, and your pace — not someone else's org chart.
Decisions
Make choices from clarity and intention — not fear, pressure, or comparison.
Future
Build something that survives a layoff, a reorg, or a change of heart.

"I help ambitious women build careers they are proud of without making their careers their entire identity. When you understand who you are and what you want, work becomes a choice — not your whole life."

A Note From Myrlene

The women who thrive long-term aren't always the smartest in the room.

I've spent my career helping organizations navigate complexity, transformation, and change. Along the way, I've learned that people experience many of the same challenges.

The women who thrive over the long term aren't always the smartest in the room. They're the women who understand how to build careers while also building themselves.

Careers change. Markets change. Companies change. I've seen it happen to brilliant, hardworking women who did everything right — and still found themselves starting over because they had built their entire sense of self around a role that disappeared.

I created this program because I believe early-career women deserve a space to think about these things before a crisis forces them to. Not after a layoff. Not after burnout. Now — while there's still time to build the foundation.

My hope is that this program helps you do both. — Myrlene
