  • Image of Andy Sams
    From Advertising to Furniture Making

    “I was creatively frustrated and advertising is a young man’s game.”

    Feeling unfulfilled after 20+ years in advertising, Andy Sams found himself spending more time in meetings than making things. Here's how he left the industry behind to reconnect with the creative work he loves.

  • Image of Kat Fury
    From Finance to Fitness

    “Finance was never my dream. I knew I had a bigger vision for my life.” 

    After 11 years in her role, Kat Fury found that she was coasting through a career that never felt like her. Here’s how she left the ‘golden handcuffs’ behind to build a more authentic life as a fitness coach, actor, and comedian.

  • Image of Harriet Hoult
    From Advertising to Art plus (post-shift update)

    “I got to a point where my heart wasn't in it anymore. I'd lost all my energy and motivation.”

    After a short break from work, Harriet Hoult trusted her gut enough to hand in her notice. Now, she's turned a long-suppressed dream into a fulfilling career – one that pays her more than her previous role. Here's how she did it and how things are panning out ten years on.

  • Image of Laura McIntyre
    Opera Singer to Management Consultant (plus post-shift update)

    “It was embarrassing and I felt like a failure, but I just couldn’t go on.”

    While Laura McIntyre loved parts of her career, the lifestyle involved was taking a toll on her health. A career break to recover became a career change into an entirely new industry. Here's her story and how things are panning out 18 months on.

And, if you’re curious, the person featured in the photo at the top of this page is Chiaki, who made a successful shift after taking part in our Career Change Launch Pad. The photo was taken by Ken, who also made a career change after the Launch Pad.
