The world’s longest-running career change workshops
Often career changers ‘jump in at the deep end’ of career change, trying to list job options before thinking about what exactly they want to get out of a career change. This can result in a lot of frustration, and rarely results in a good career change.
Why? Because picking a new career without understanding your basic ‘me-criteria’ is akin to closing your eyes and picking a career at random. No wonder people spend years going around in circles trying to decide what to do next. Through this workshop, you learn how to choose a new career, the right way.

I had an epiphany that gave me the clarity of direction I had been seeking. If you're unsure about what direction to go in, try the workshop. If you only meet people in the same boat, that in itself is helpful; but you may also get the clarity you need like I did.
“Amazing! The workshop helped me to understand my values on a deeper level, what I was good at, and what I enjoyed. I also got some very useful tips about job hunting and creative exposure within my field of work. It helped me bridge the gap from what I was doing to what I wanted to do.”
“I needed a little extra push that it was OK to make a career change. The workshop helped me realise that it could really be a positive thing, not just for me personally but for my career too. I found it really useful examining what kinds of things suit my personality and in what type of situations I work well.”
“The workshop helped me focus on my motivations, and I used this as the benchmark to test every opportunity against — if it wasn't up to scratch, I didn't pursue it. I'm now doing everything I hoped and more.”
“Made me feel like making a career change is not magic but a defined and analytical process. The step-by-step method made it tangible for me.”
“It helped me work out the parts of my current career that I liked (mostly interacting with and helping people) and got me thinking as to what to do next. Ultimately something just clicked and it all came together.”
“It narrowed down my options so I was able to focus on areas that really matter to me. Do it! It sowed a seed of change for me and I haven't looked back since.”
“DO IT – keep an open mind, listen to the experiences of others, and be inspired. The workshop helped clarify ideas I had and gave me the incentive to apply for a job I really wanted. Now I'm doing something which gives me significantly more satisfaction than ever before.”
“I knew I had to make a change but didn't know where to turn or what to do next. The workshop was absolutely fantastic. I felt so motivated for months after, and it gave me the drive I needed to 'follow the dream'. I couldn't possibly be any happier.”
“My job was exhausting and soul destroying. At the workshop, for the first time, I met other people looking to make a change and I believed it was possible. Now, running my own business gives me the flexibility and freedom that I craved. I'm so happy I made the change.”
The workshop takes place online. You can join us via a computer, tablet or mobile device. Once you've reserved your place, we'll send you full details of how to take part.
Yes.
Our speciality is helping people exactly like you. The workshop is designed to give you insights and practical, proven strategies to help you figure out what you really want to do.
Absolutely.
The workshop is all about helping you get more clarity about your situation: it may provoke new ideas; equally, it may help you validate some of the ideas you have already.
Most importantly, you'll come away feeling more confident and more motivated to take the next steps.
No.
This workshop is best suited to people who are still aren't 100% clear on what else they want to do.
The workshop is best suited to people already in work or not long out of the workplace.
It's also suitable for mothers who want to make a major shift when returning to work.
If you've been long-term unemployed and are struggling to re-enter the job market, then this is not the best workshop for you.
This has occurred in the past, though it's more likely that you will leave very clear on what you need to do to make your shift happen.
We aim for you to leave clearer about what you want from your next career; more knowledgeable about the steps you'll need to take; and more confident in your ability to make the change.
The workshop is a highly interactive experience, with presentations and individual and group exercises.
Using video conferencing software, you'll interact with the coach and with others in the workshop using your computer's microphone (or a headset, if you have one), and also through a live questions box.
Yes.
We won't be asking you to do anything that will feel uncomfortable.
We have very strict confidentiality policies at Careershifters.
We ask all participants not to share externally anything that's discussed in the workshop; we only use first names; and we don't share any recordings of the workshop.
The workshop takes place entirely online.
This means you can take part from wherever you are in the world.
As soon as you reserve a place, we'll send you details of how you can join the workshop.
The workshop lasts for two and a half hours.
We'll take a short break around half way through.
You just need a computer / laptop, with sound and a microphone.
Normally between 20-40.
No.
We'll cover everything during the workshop itself.
Please click here to let us know.
We'll then let you know as soon as we publish the date of the next workshop.
Unfortunately not, for two reasons: firstly, due to confidentiality, we don't share recordings of the workshop; secondly, we deliberately design the workshops to be highly interactive.
We do this because we believe you'll get the most from the experience by being able to interact live with the coach and others in the group.
Yes.
Just buy a ticket as normal and write to us at [email protected] to let us know the name of the person you've bought the ticket for.
We'll do the rest!
Just drop us a line at [email protected] and we'll normally be able to get back to you within 24 hours on working days.
