Network like a Midlife Human - Midlife Unstuck Training

Network like a Midlife Human

Live online class

Thur 8th Feb (4.00-5.15pm UK)

The older you become the more important your personal network becomes.

Whatever kind of career change you decide (new job, new direction, new discipline, new sector, new location or new business) your network plays a bigger role than you may imagine.

Did you know that 75% of senior positions are never advertised?

Which means that….75% of senior positions are secured through, you guessed it, networking.


Questions for you…

  • How rich and deep is your professional network?

  • Could you capture your true network quickly and easily - in a way that is valuable to you?

  • Have you met some amazing people in your career - but have been out of contact for so long you imagine they’ve forgotten you?

  • Do you keep in contact with your favourite ex-colleagues?

  • Are you super-confident that you’ve got a “door-opening” CV?

  • Do you ever dream that someone would email you from LinkedIn - to offer you the “perfect” role?

  • Does traditional “networking” make you itchy? Act unnaturally? Feel fake?

  • Do you feel forced to rely on cold job applications to secure work in your 40s, 50s or 60s?


Why we need to network differently - especially after 40

  1. Age discrimination is a thing. I think it’s the last “-ism” to remain a silent and growing trend in many big businesses.

  2. You need assistance from your network - if you want to do anything different in your career (new job, new direction, new discipline, new sector, new location or new business).

  3. People do business with people. And the deeper your genuine human connection with the real humans within your suppliers, clients and partners - the more successful you’re likely to be.

So the quality and depth of your network becomes a critical differentiator, for professionals in their 40s. 50s and 60s.

What if I could show you a way to grow and deepen your network - that felt natural?

  • That could be designed around you - and your personality quirks?

  • That would work for you - forever?

  • That would get you in front of new people in new industries - without making you feel like a numpty?

  • That didn’t reduce you to one of those selfish, salesy people on LinkedIn - who send you an invitation and then start selling themselves 2 minutes later?

  • That worked just as well for introverts - as it does for extroverts?

  • What if you could learn the basics of this method in about an hour and then implement it in less than 20mins a week?



What we’ll cover in the class:

  1. Why out-dated models of networking don’t work - for humans of our age?

    You’ll find this in the pre-class video - sent the day before. So that by the time you get into the class, you’re already on-the-move and thinking differently.

  2. Capture who’s important in your career - and who’s not!

    In ways that help you see the wood from the trees - rather than your genuine contacts getting lost in a LinkedIn mess.

  3. Learn a novel way to “do” networking

    Once you’ve understood the philosophy - I give you a method and tool to make it easier.

  4. Q&A - get your questions answered immediately.

    BONUS 1 : Get access to a downloadable list of 57 practical starter ideas that are proven to work.

    BONUS 2 : Starter network garden design - so you don’t have to start with a blank page.

RECORDING: Available - for members of The Fierce Emporium and The Personalised Redesign programmes.

Network like a Midlife Human - and never look at a cold job advertisement again.

  • Are you relying on cold job applications to secure work in your 40s, 50s or 60?

  • Do you scour Linkedin Job adverts hoping, wishing, dreaming to find “a perfect role”?

  • Does traditional “networking” make you itchy? Act unnaturally? Feel fake?

  • Have you met some amazing people in your career - but have been out of contact for so long you think they’ll have forgotten you?

Why we need to network differently in our 40s, 50s and 60s.

Age discrimination is a thing.

I think it’s the last “-ism” to remain a silent and growing trend in companies.

Because those who mention it get exited rather speedily.

So the quality and depth of your network becomes a critical differentiator as you age.

What if there was a way of thinking about, and doing networking that felt natural?

  • That could be designed around you and your personality style?

  • That would work for you forever?

  • That would get you in front of new people in new industries, without making you feel like a numpty?

  • That didn’t reduce you to one of those selfish salesy people who send you an invitation and then start selling themselves 2 minute later?

  • That worked for introverts just as well as it works for extroverts?

    What if, after you learn this method and spend some time practising it, you would NEVER have to apply to a job application again?

What if there was a way to connect with old and new contacts in ways that get you known for the skills you’d love to be known for?

What if you could learn this method in a couple of hours and then implement it in less than 20mins a week?

The formula for a life-time of satisfying work.

The mini-class

  • In 40 mins, I’ll walk you through the formula for a life-time filled with satisfying work - how I discovered it and how you can use it to make changes in your work - big and small.

  • I’ll also give you some examples of clients who’ve designed their careers around this formula - and are much happier in their work.

  • In the last 15minutes, there will be a Q&A - ASK ME ANYTHING about midlife careers.

    BONUSES:

  • During the mini-class, you’ll get access to two worksheets so that you can take the formula and make it work for your personal situation.

Be one of 12 midlifers from different professional backgrounds, locations and careers who meet once a week for group training, coaching and Q&As, while simultaneously, independently completing the 6-week midlife career redesign programme in the comfort of their own homes, on their schedule.

Stop wasting valuable time doing work that doesn’t feel great, by designing work that will.

Stop wasting precious time doing work that doesn’t feel great, by designing work that does.

Is The Fierce Emporium right for you?

It’s been designed specifically for midlife professionals (typically in their 40s or 50s) who:

  • want to become someone who “loves their work” - but doesn’t yet know how to;

  • love the idea of knowing exactly what they want and how to get it - but currently don’t.

  • feel like they’re losing their career mojo;

  • are/have been suffering from being in the wrong job or career (symptoms include: stress, boredom, anxiety, under-challenge, over-challenge, exhaustion, insomnia, overwhelm or feeling low);

  • have decided that learning how to design the next decade of their work life is one of their top priorities;

  • have reached their tipping point (some people call this their “now-or-never” moment) and are prepared to make a few sacrifices (that’s you Netflix!) to carve out time over 6 weeks to make the next 6 years feel much better.

  • have already invested some time and energy in trying to make changes (reading self-development books, listening to podcasts, trying to think of the one ‘perfect’ idea or trying to narrow down their many ideas) but can’t seem to get any traction;

  • are ready to be honest and tackle the stuff that’s getting in their way.

  • want to learn new skills that will make a new future more possible.

  • are ready for change but can’t upset the applecart of life - so no risking the mortgage or encouragement to go earn millions in a four-hour working week from a sunny island hammock with nothing but a webcam and iphone

What to expect

  • Each Monday, you’ll receive your personal challenges for the week via email - accompanied by video explainers, audio support, creative on-line experiences, pdfs and practical examples.

  • Each Wednesday, you’ll receive a light-hearted support package in the form of a video from The Fierce Emporium’s personal shopper (Loochia) and details for our Friday Group Coaching session.

  • Each Friday, you'll receive a short video with stories of others who’ve gone through the programme releasing their insights, experiences and aha moments to keep you motivated and on-the-move.

  • A direct-line to me in the form of an on-line journal where you can record your insights, aha moments, things to remember and ask me questions. You might be doing the challenges at home but you won’t be alone between our weekly sessions.

  • 6 Group coaching sessions - every Friday. Group training plus time to share your aha moments and ask questions to get you unstuck and on the move towards your goals. (I record them so you never miss out - even when your diary is full or you’re ill in bed.)

  • A celebratory final session two weeks after our last group session to give everyone time to complete the programme. Here, we recognise and share the wins from everyone in the group. NB. All LIVE group sessions are expertly structured to be comfortable and enjoyable for all attendees - both introverts and extroverts. They will require minimal extra preparation.

  • Opportunity to add-on optional one-to-one coaching at a discounted rate to give you an helping hand - to get you figuring out where you want to go quicker.

No Ordinary Annual Career Review (Live Small Group Workshop) (SOLD OUT)

No ordinary Annual Career Review (1).png

Is this workshop for you?

Have you been promising yourself for a while that you’d spend some time thinking about your future career? But you’re always too busy actually working in and on your career to think about the longer term.

You’re not exactly sure where to begin thinking about the future. So you keep putting it off.

Before you can even start thinking about the future, you need to evaluate and assess the present and the past twelve months.

In this workshop, that’s exactly what we do.

You have a personal guide to walk you through a tried and tested career satisfaction evaluation methodology.

Workshop Content

  • We isolate the last 12 months of your career and assess it in a way that will help you see your current career picture very clearly - perhaps for the first time in a while.

  • You will receive a worksheet on the day that will take you through the career review and assessment process. You can either complete this fully during the workshop - or if you prefer to think alone, you can take it away and complete it at your convenience.

  • When you completed the assessment, you’ll have a very clear vision of what is working well and what’s not and why.

  • And THEN, you can begin to think about the future - with your eyes wide open.

  • We end with a Q&A session where each participant gets at least one of their questions answered directly.

This workshop with Lucia Knight, Midlife Career Satisfaction Designer, Career Happiness Researcher and Author of X Change: How to Torch your Work Treadmill guides you through no ordinary annual career review and assessment process.

More about Lucia

Lucia Knight is a midlife career satisfaction designer and researcher. She spent 20 years in the world of corporate headhunting in UK and Australia before giving it all up to embark on a MSc Psychology where her dissertation focus was “Does anyone in big corporations give a hoot about the wisdom of 50+year olds?” She founded and runs a career design business called Midlife Unstuck where she helps professionals mostly in their 40s and 50s who feel stuck to design work that is MUCH more satisfying, fulfilling and fun.

Side notes

  1. Feel free to come along and just watch and listen. Alternatively, take advantage of the Q&A session at the end of the workshop to get the most out of the experience personally.

  2. No need to dress up - or leave the house - or even be on camera! Wear something comfy and bring a cuppa or a glass of your favourite tipple.

  3. Bring your sense of humour - just because we’re talking about something as important as careers at our age doesn’t mean we can’t have the occasional giggle.

Join this workshop

This is a small group event so PLACES ARE LIMITED so that everyone gets the opportunity to contribute personally to the Q&A session.

The session will be recorded (in case something urgent comes up and you can’t make it).

New Midlife Unstuck UK Weekend Retreats (ON HOLD 2021 - TBC)

Struggling to see the light at the end of your career tunnel but can’t find the time to think through options even if you did know where to start?

Imagine allocating more time than you’ve probably ever done in the past to over-hauling your career to move you so much closer to a decision about the second half of your career.

Sound good? Then imagine doing it in luxurious surroundings, delicious, healthy food with brisk country-side walks to think (or talk through) your thought processes with other coaches and similar minds. To top it all off, I’m trying to fit in options for a massage over the course of the weekend to squeeze in between thinking assignments, group workshops and individual coaching.

I’m behind the scenes planning locations, choosing properties in South East England. making sure the design of the weekend program allows individuals enough pre-program preparation, group and one-to-one time to allow everyone to leave on a Sunday afternoon armed with new knowledge, insights and practical planning tools to design work that could be more fulfilling, more satisfying and possibly more fun!

Register your interest by either emailing me at lucia@midlifeunstuck.com or sign-up to my “It’s not too late and you’re not too old” newsletter and I’ll keep you informed of the dates and locations.

Real Career Happiness (Surrey): How to rid yourself of Sunday night blues and Monday morning dread

Career Hap Workshop Woking March 22.png

Feeling stuck in your career?

• Does the thought of commuting into town for the next 10 years fill you will dread?

Join her in Woking, at the Collaborate Offices (2mins from the train station) where she will share the secret formula to designing long-lasting, fulfilling careers with examples of successful mid-life career changes and give you the chance to fire up some conversations with a small group of like-minds about how to begin re-designing your career.
