Who is this course for
This course is for you if:
You're ten to thirty-five years into a career in a mainstream commercial role, and you're good at it. There's an itch that your work should add up to more than it does. Maybe you want to reshape the career you have. Maybe you suspect a bigger change is coming, over years, done properly. Either way, you've hovered over the career change courses and something has stopped you every time. Rightly, in my view. You don't need an escape. You need a way to act.
This course isn't for you if:
You don't like homework! This isn't a course where you think yourself into a different career, it is about trying on new identities, reaching out into the world and trying experiments that you couldn't do by yourself. Coaching isn't therapy, it is about forwards motion. We are going to help you understand yourself, what you like about your life, work, identity, what you don't like. We are going to explore new versions of yourself and then we are going to see if they work for you!
If you know what you want and need help jumping, there are courses out there to help people in your situation and they will prepare you for that jump (I have links to a number of other courses that come highly recommended). I practice a slower route for those that don't quite know the next step and want to build a body of evidence.
What most people need is the space for action, a structure to create the career that you will love and the people around you to keep you on course. We can't give you the answer, but we will give you a way to find it.

This is not for you if:
You want to be told what to do next - This change needs to come from within you. We will spend the first couple of weeks understanding what you know and what you have capacity for, but we won't tell you what to do!

1
One live experiment, designed, run, and delivered.
The centre of the programme. By week four you'll have chosen and designed one small, real piece of impact work: inside your organisation, or alongside your career with an organisation that needs your skills.
By week five you'll have taken the first real-world action. By week ten you'll have completed enough of it to produce evidence, learning, and a next step.
What does "small" look like? Three conversations with people working on a problem you care about, written up as a one-page insight note. A lunch-and-learn you design and host in your department. A funding story you sharpen for a local charity. Small is the point: experiments are scoped to fit inside a working week, and the goal is complete enough to learn from, not "successful". Grand plans die quietly. Small experiments happen.

Three 1:1 coaching sessions with me
Not bolted on: built in where the group can't reach. One early, when the identity work gets personal. One at the midpoint, when your experiment hits its first wall. One near the end, to harvest what it all told you and shape what's next.
I'm an ICF accredited coach; sixty minutes each, entirely on your situation. Coaching like this is typically £100 to £200 a session on its own, so treat this as the founding cohort's extra advantage. Future cohorts will get one session as standard and the full spine as a paid upgrade; you get it all included.
5
A pod of three that meets between every session, and a network that keeps widening.
The research on programmes like this is unambiguous: the cohort is what makes people finish and what makes the change stick. You'll be in a pod of three that meets between sessions using a simple, structured protocol. After the programme: a 90-day reunion, and standing access to guest sessions in future cohorts, so your network compounds instead of dissolving.
This is the beginning of a movement of people trying to create a better world from where they are.
4
A written account of impact work you have actually done, and the sharper story that comes with it
At the end, you'll have a one-page case study, an evidence record of the experiment: what you did, what changed, what you learned. It's yours, and it does double duty. It's proof, and it's the raw material of a sharper career narrative: who you are, what you're good at, and where you're heading, told with evidence instead of aspiration.
I work in the impact world and will help the cohort build something with teeth. So you can see the real world benefit of what you have done, but also what it could scale to.
Use it to grow your current role, to open a conversation with your boss, or as the first line of whatever comes next. Ten weeks ago it didn't exist. Now it's your first step and your proof you can do this.

What you get (and why)
You already know the feeling this programme is for. The Sunday-night arithmetic. The suspicion that you're wasting good years being good at something that doesn't matter to you. The loop: research a course, price up a pay cut, close the tab, blame yourself. You've probably concluded the problem is you, some missing quantity of courage or clarity.
It isn't. You've been offered the wrong tools: reflection when you needed evidence, inspiration when you needed structure, a leap when you needed a next step. So here's what you actually need and what we do to support you.
