Career Launch

Pragmatic Keynote

"Career Launch presented a pragmatic keynote at our annual conference. Our members focus on supporting students and closing equity gaps as part of the Perkins Strengthening Career Education legislation. 

The emphasis on actionable information allowed participants to leave the keynote with not just inspiration but specific, actionable steps to implement. I would highly recommend providing the Career Launch pragmatic keynote to any audience of professionals who work directly with students!"

"We've had Career Launch provide pre-conference workshops and in-conference talks at multiple annual conferences. Our members value the practical nature of their sessions and we often hear that learning from Career Launch was a highlight of our conference."
"I am happy to share that I was the first conference to book Marieli and Sean for a plenary session back in 2019. They provided a pragmatic keynote address to staff and faculty at our annual conference. The attendees gave excellent reviews and noted they liked being able to leave the session with knowledge and resources that they could implement right away."

Our Story

Sean O'Keefe is the Founder and Chief Impact Officer of Launch Your Career. He is an Award-winning Professor and Career Coach.

What began as a personal strategy to land a job with the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland A’s, evolved over the years during his time as a Jesuit university professor into the official Career Launch Method. This method teaches students the power of cold networking for career success.

Many students have expressed immense gratitude for the career readiness accountability and empowerment that led to life-enhancing internships and jobs. Since 2018, we’ve paid it forward by providing coaching to thousands of students, of all ages, backgrounds, and programs of study. Our students have landed with companies and organizations across the globe in countless industries.
