About us
Welcome to the Career Durability Lab. Based in Chicago and managed by Malkant Group, we are a community of professionals dedicated to one principle: self-mastery is the ultimate career insurance. In a market that rewards consistency and calm competence, we provide the structured environment to build those traits.
This is not a place for vague inspiration. It’s a workshop for building your Professional Operating System.
Here’s What You Build as a Member:
- The Self-Mastery Core: Through our focused workshops, you will engineer your personal productivity, eliminate energy-draining habits, and install the routines that make high-impact work feel effortless. Learn the exact systems to protect your focus, manage your time with precision, and leave work on time without guilt.
- The Durability Sprint: Twice a month, we run an intensive Career Durability Sprint. This is a live, challenge-based program where you’ll evaluate the durability of your career and rebuild it using our proven 7-step framework. You’ll walk away with a concrete, personal upgrade to your durability.
- The Calm Professional Network: Surround yourself with professionals who believe stability is a skill. This is a judgment-free zone to troubleshoot real challenges; like managing overwhelming workloads, setting boundaries without fear, and maintaining steady performance under pressure. Find accountability, practical solutions, and proof that a calm, controlled career is possible.
- In-Person Career Fairs: Join our leadership team in-person at quarterly regional career fairs. Connect with potential employers and get real-time, in-person advice on how to apply the principles of the Career Durability System to your real-world scenarios. Bring your current challenge; a chaotic project, a difficult stakeholder, a feeling of stagnation—and we’ll workshop a durable solution together.
This Community is For You If:
- You feel the anxiety of “quiet cutting” and want to replace fear with a concrete plan.
- You’re tired of burnout cycles and want to build sustainable, repeatable success.
- You believe that long-term victory goes to the most consistent, not the most frantic.
- You’re ready to invest in the one asset no one can take from you: your own disciplined, capable, and resilient professional self.
Stop hoping your job is safe. Start building the inner system that makes you irreplaceable.

How to Build a Resilient Career That Survives Any Economic Storm
·OnlineOnlineThe “Average” Professional is at Risk. Are You?
Today, things change fast. With sudden layoffs and new technology like AI, just “doing a good job” isn’t enough to stay safe. The people who truly succeed are those who focus on the small details that others miss. It is easy to feel like your career is out of your hands. But what if you could measure and improve your own professional strength, every single week?
Welcome to the Career Durability Lab.
This is a new kind of professional development. This isn’t a one-time speech or a pre-recorded course. It’s an interactive, personally-designed workshop that builds a new roadmap for your career every time you join. No two sessions are ever the same, because your career isn’t static.
What You Will Do:
In this 40-minute introduction session, you won’t just sit and listen. You'll get an introduction to Career Durability and exactly what it takes to build a career that can survive any storm. We’ll analyze your current way of working through the lens of 3 of the 7 core durability skills and give you a Custom 3-Step Roadmap before you leave.
The meeting access link will be available after you RSVP.
Note: This is a welcome session for first-time attendees and new members. To get the benefits of weekly, personalized sessions, sign up for the annual pass here.4 attendeesHow to Build a Resilient Career That Survives Any Economic Storm
