Misha Rubin

Who Is Misha Rubin?

I facilitate meaningful intentional changes in people's life. Including myself. Just to name a few:

~ Until a few years back, I was a Partner at one of the largest management consulting firms in the world Ernst & Young, where I spent 15 fruitful years of my career and managed hundreds-million-dollar worth of projects. But when it was time for me to realign my career, I made my leap and here I am.

~ When Russia started the war in Ukraine this year, I knew that I wanted to make a difference with children of Ukraine most of which experienced the trauma. So I spoke to WWO, an international organization that works with vulnerable kids, and in April we started our brand new program for children refugees in Lviv, Ukraine, where I am from.

I have many more exciting personal examples. But most importantly over years I guided careers and lead transformational seminars to hundreds. In the past 2 years, I've worked with dozens to reinvent their careers, start new businesses and reenergize their lives.

My corporate experience, personal quest for meaning and fulfillment, and rigorous study birthed Leap by Design principles. I translated them into a pragmatic and actionable methodologies designed for people to obtain clarity and make changes in their life in the following areas: career, leader's impact, business, retirement and legacy.

Apart from helping people discover what's next for them, I am a recording artist (check out my music album ARE WE READY under Misha Lyuve), an adoptive parent of three, and a board member of Worldwide Orphans.

The question is

"What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

-Mary Oliver

When You Discover Your Career Leap...

Barbara P., DC, MBA, Senior Manager

Transitioning later in career

I am making a transition later in my career & knew I needed some assistance in my next steps. The program challenged me to view opportunities from a different perspective & to focus on things I had overlooked.

The exercises & tools we used were captured in a way that I can always access them to keep me on track!

Anna O., Executive, Financial Services

Needed structure and motivation

This was a very useful exercise for me, simply because it stimulated and motivated me to think outside of my current routine.

It is not something I would have normally done without a structured motivation, just because we all get so swamped and set in our ways, and time simply flies

Rebecca W., NC, Nurse

After 30 years, transitioning with clarity and security

I was looking for as I transition out of a 30 year career as a nurse into something that will not only provide an income but be work I am aligned with completely and thoroughly enjoy doing.

By then end the program I gained not only a solid plan for pursuing a new opportunity within the organization I currently work for but also a detailed plan for making my dream job a reality in the very near future.

What Others Say

Alex M., NY, Banking, IT Executive

Stuck, bored, but the paycheck was important

I’ve been lucky to have had a successful career - as part of exciting technology start-ups jetting around the world, to key positions with big financial services firms. In the recent years, I’ve become bored, unfulfilled, and frankly hating every weekday morning. But the paycheck was important.

After working with Misha, I find myself suddenly excited with my career prospects ahead! I’m clear and confident about the next steps in my career - something I have not felt in a long time!

Ina G., PA, Data Science

From confusion to clarity

Pandemic reshuffled a mix of my personal circumstances and priorities. The Career Leap framework allowed to fit early open-ended exploration within a more structured approach and a sense of path, avoiding "analysis paralysis."

Misha has an exceptional ability at framing and formulating complex, fuzzy and unstructured matters. I wanted to thank Misha for all his help, facilitating exploration and revealing blind spots.

Anna S., 41, Connecticut, Architect

There is a method to discovering your passion

Misha allowed me to step away from 'my job as means of survival' mindset and recall what I am actually passionate about in life and in my career.

I've got back my spark, interest, and curiosity. As a result, several new work opportunities surfaced immediately and I'm currently pursuing them.
