Published in TechTimes • January 6, 2025


We're honored to be featured in TechTimes, highlighting Leap Academy's mission to rethink what professional education should look like in today's rapidly changing world. Rather than relying on outdated models built around theory alone, Leap Academy was created to help professionals gain clarity, build confidence, strengthen their personal brands, and create meaningful career momentum through practical action.

The article explores how founder Ilana Golan transformed her own career setback into a platform that has helped thousands of professionals across four continents navigate promotions, career transitions, entrepreneurship, and leadership growth. It also shares the philosophy behind Leap Academy: that modern professionals don't need more information, they need a better strategy, stronger positioning, and the right community to accelerate what's next.


Today, Leap Academy continues to help executives, founders, and ambitious professionals reinvent themselves, expand what's possible, and create opportunities beyond the traditional career ladder.
