We are Passionate About Seeing You THRIVE in IT!
On April 30th 2020, D.J. Eshelman and Jeff Pitsch began a YouTube Series called THRIVEcast, giving their thoughts and interviewing IT Industry titans focusing on career and life. From field engineers to CEOs – everyone has a story to tell that teaches us all a little more about what is important in life – and how to be successful.

Online Learning
Learn from Real Experts
One thing has been glaringly obvious in our discussions – just learning about how to implement technology is not good enough to advance your career. Employers and Customers expect more. At THRIVE-IT we focus on four key areas:
- Mastery (skillsets)
- Mindset (motivation and attitude)
- Methods (soft skills)
- Mentoring
It is our pleasure to announce the formation of our online learning platform at https://courses.thrive-it.com
There you will be able to access cohort, self-paced, and workshop based learning for a growing number of career development tracks – starting with D.J.’s renowned Courses on Applied Methodology based on his book Just Do THIS.
If you are interested in learning Citrix skillsets – check out our sister site CTX.Academy.
