I’ve designed my new work-life in a way that brings me happiness, fun and financial security. Using Lucia’s methods, I’ve not only made a decision on a new direction that excites me, but I also have tools and a framework to make sure I continue to make the right career decisions in future.

MC, 40s, Business Owner, Sussex, UK

 Imagine staying where you are, doing similar work, in similar ways for the next few years. How about for the next decade?

Are you…

  • Tired of the incessant, pestering ping inside your work brain whispering "Is this it?"  

  • Bored of wondering how the heck to get more fulfillment, satisfaction and fun from your work life? 

  • Feeling like time is precious? You're not getting any younger….You want answers. Yesterday. 

  • Ready to start tackling the problem - you just don’t know how?

    You’re in the right place.

Consider the consequences (financial, physical and emotional) of staying where you are…for the rest of your working life.

Imagine you’re 50 years old. You’ve only got 180 months of work left before you retire, officially.

  • 180 months is a walk in the park - if you enjoy your work.

  • 180 months is a death-row sentence - if you’re already drained, stressed or dulled to tears by your work.

It’s a choice. Only you can make. Do you take control of your future career or let it happen to you?

Our work together is all about taking control. Making your work work for you. Personally.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I'm earning much more than I was before - doing work that feels lighter, sparky, creative and just fun! The money allows me to take advantage of all sorts of opportunities in life and work. But more important is that my life is now blended with work that is fun, light and fulfilling.

Joelyn, 40s, Portfolio Career, Surrey, UK

Let me guess…you want results quickly?

Results are individual. They depend on your hopes. That said, here are some common outcomes:

  • More joy-at-work.

  • Vastly reduced misery-at-work. (Less stress, less dullness)

  • More fun during working hours.

  • A tangible sense of control and freedom.

  • Work that feels more satisfying and/or meaningful.

  • More energy to share with loved ones - after work.

  • Renewed personal enthusiasm - for life.

  • More money. (It’s never a primary goal but often an accidental outcome.)

Only you know the difference between work that fits you, and work that doesnt.

“I’ve thought for years I had nothing left in me. I now realise that this is far from the truth. I feel inspired and energised.”

— INA, 40S, MD, SWITZERLAND

Any of this familiar?

  • Wish you could stop worrying about the future and lock in an exciting plan to start running towards?

  • Worried that if you don't design your career now, it’ll soon be too late to do something worthwhile?  

  • Don’t have enough time to re-invent wheel, just want to get to the right answers asap?

  • Want to better design your future work so that you can be at your best more often, and share that version of you with those you care about?

  • Fear the negative impact of your ever-decreasing interest in your work on those around you?

  • Struggling to keep your future work at the top of your priorities list when everyone needs so much from you in the present? 

    8 years ago I felt exactly the same! It’s bloody frustrating, so let’s fix it….

Your work isn’t lighting your fire anymore.

You’re smart. Sure.

But not being able to solve this problem is making you feel… well… not so smart.

You’ve got a growing sense that the sands of time are slipping through your fingers. That you may have to stop waiting for the “perfect” time to grab your work situation by the goolies and make something happen. But you’ve got no time for guess-work. You need a method that works.

Hey there. I’m Lucia Knight.

After two decades in the same industry, I awoke from my career coma.

I thought I was smart. Until I felt stupid.

I would’ve given my eye teeth to have someone walk me through a proven method to solve my career unhappiness.

I wasted way too much time going around in circles wondering what to do when I grow up. Until I hit my now-or-never moment when I couldn’t think about it any more. I had to do something.

7 years later, with a MSc Psychology, several research projects and a published book on successful career change post-40 under my belt, my world is very different.

I created a career design consultancy to help professionals in their 40s, 50s and 60s to learn MUCH quicker than I did how to design their work. Their way.

And to design their version of joy-at-work.

Done-for-you (Speedy Sherpa) and done-with-you (Fierce Accelerator) career redesign.

During these two one-to-one programmes, I personalise my proven (FIERCE) methodology to design successful, happier and more satisfying work for you and your uniquely personal situation.

So, we focus on only the most valuable steps for you.

WORKING WITH ME ONE-TO-ONE IS FOR:

Professionals in their 40s, 50s, 60s who are ready to design their work differently - but don’t know how.

Those who are prepared to look under the bonnet sometimes. We need to figure out what's wrong AND what’s right in the past - before designing what's right in the future

Those for whom designing their work is a top important priority in life. We’re both investing time, heart and energy. Together.

WORKING WITH ME ONE-TO-ONE IS NOT FOR:

People simply looking for a job. 

I spent 19 years helping people find a new jobs. Some thought I was bloody good at it. But those who work with me now, want to design for the long-term. They know a similar new job won’t cut it for long.

Those who take themselves very seriously. 

We do VERY important work - but there's lightness to it that makes it fun - for both of us.

Anyone who doesn't want to work at it.

I definitely help you do the heavy-lifting in these programmes. (And in the Speedy Sherpa option, I actually do the heavy-lifting!)

No moment is wasted. But I cannot design your future alone.

🥾 Ready for action?

I LOVE working one-to-one but I now invest most of my time in cohort-based training (inside the Fierce Emporium) and consulting with companies. If you’d like to discuss availability and ask questions, here’s how:

  • Step 1: Book in to speak to me asap.

    • Select your time-zone. Choose a time that works for you.

    • Answer a couple of easy questions about you and your situation.

  • Step 2: We’ll spend 30mins on Zoom.

    • We’ll figure out if we’re right for each other.

    • And you can ask any questions.

  • Step 3: If it’s a match - I’ll send you a link to invest.

    • And we’ll set up your launch-pad session on the next available date.

We’re too old for ghosting, aren’t we?

So, after our call, if you decide you don’t like my big, boofy hair (or anything else about me or the way I work) I’ve got broad swimming shoulders, just let me know and we’ll part company.

Like adults. Kind adults, who are simply not right for each other.
