Explore the lives of real career heroes. Then pick one whose path you most want to follow.

Using UpMo's UpModel Chooser, browse UpModel profiles. UpModels are high-earning business, academic and not-for-profit heroes in key industries and functions from marketing and sales to the executive suite who've shared the details of their career development: books they've read, classes they've taken, mistakes they've made and the networking habits they've used to drive success.

We're not talking about giving you the same squeaky clean media-washed fairy tales you find in popular business publications. Instead, we give you the nitty-gritty trials and triumphs, the sweat and tears, the day-to-day grind that everyday people who've reached success experienced.

Browse the profiles of people your peers have selected. Explore their roles. See which UpModel you'd most like to emulate: someone in or out of your industry, someone who's reached heights you've dreamed about, someone who's laid bare their journey so you can follow. See how near or how far you are from a business executive, the director of a top non-profit or a whiz-bang entrepreneur. And when you're ready, select the UpModel whose success most exhilarates you.

Then, using UpMo's emulation engine, add to your repertoire the tangibles and intangibles your UpModel used to further his or her career. Drill down into each year of your UpModel's journey to understand what they were doing when, who was whispering in their ears and the steps they took along the way to achieve success. Dial up or down those attributes, adjusting how much or how little of your UpModel's key habits and Career Roadmap you want to follow, until you arrive at a style that's uniquely you. It's like adding more hot sauce until a dish tastes ... ah! ... just the way you like.
