individuals > career shifting programme: find my new dream job

the Problem

You think, or know you need a career shift. Here are some of the common scenarios clients bring to us:

I've been in a career for a number of years and realise it's not for me. I want help to find my new dream job - I need a career shift.
What's my next career move? I've just lost my job and want to work through your options and get a bit of inspiration.
 I want to figure out what I really want to do with my career; I want to find my purpose.
I need something different from my job, but I'm not sure what my dream job is. Can you help me find my purpose?

So it looks like you've decided it's time to make a career shift. We get that it can be a challenging and bewildering thing to change careers. In a world of possibilities, where do you even start? What might your new dream job look like? We recognise that it takes a lot of bravery to change your life so completely, especially when you may have make sacrifices to do something you love. We understand that it's difficult to do this without support.

And we also know that you'll be over the moon when you make it to your new, meaningful career.

the ideal client

We want to speak with you if you an idealist (closet or brazen) who won't settle for anything less than your dream job as your next move. It could be that you've recently left work, been made redundant, or are still in the wrong job looking for the next step.

Our ideal client is someone ambitious and uncompromising - you are ready to make big change to get somewhere amazing. Any age or background is welcome.

We specialise in working with ethical career shifts- from a career in social enterprise, to charities, to help you find your new dream job that also helps people or planet. We also work a lot with individuals looking to become a trainer, coach or public speaker.

the solution

A carefully tailored 1-1 personal development plan designed in partnership with you help you identify, target and succeed in making a career shift. If you are at the point of looking for ideas for what to do next, we'll start you off with a Careers Assessment by our Business Pscychologist partner, which looks at your interests, hobbies and preferences to provide an objective analysis of what new career would suit you. You get a scientifically supported 20 page report and 15-20 new career options, many of which you probably won't have considered before.

The next step is to make your career change happen. For a career shift we recommend a package of 12+ sessions to make and concrete the change in your life. Even if you find your dream job during that time, we urge you to complete the programme as this time together will help to cement your new foundations and habit changes that are necessary to get fulfillment from your new exciting career.

We have particular expertise in helping people relocate to 'ethical careers' - careers in ethics driven social enterprise & charities / NGOs; small ethical business and environmental organisations.

We are based in North London, so you should also be based in London or South East England and be able to travel to North London (St Pancras) for at least the first double session. We do many sessions over the phone, but it's best to meet face-to-face to start the relationship.

what we'll cover

What we cover will depend entirely on your needs and where you're at in seeking a new career; but typical examples of what this programme includes are:

• Establishing the priorities in your career choices. Discovering what a meaningful career is to you.
