How were you feeling in your work before the Launch Pad?

The best way to describe how I was feeling is stuck. 

I was stuck in a cycle of knowing that I wanted to leave my role and sort of negotiating with myself saying, 'another month, another two months until I can figure out what I need to do next and then I can leave.'

But I wasn't figuring out what to do next. So I was still in the same role as time was passing. 

I think this affected my wider self confidence. I was complaining a lot, to my partner, friends and family.

Did you have any doubts or concerns about joining the course?

My main concern was that I'd feel the same way coming out of the Launch Pad – still stuck, just maybe with a couple of new concepts and theoretical ideas in my brain.

I'd had this experience with individual career coaching before and I was a bit worried that I'd have a similar experience with the Launch Pad.

What was the biggest impact of the course?

The biggest impact I've seen has been in my mindset.

Before I might have talked a lot about changing roles or career, but because I wasn't quite sure about how to make that happen, I didn't fully believe in it.

Now I can actually see how to make my career change happen and I have more self confidence. I can make it happen.

What would you say to someone considering the Launch Pad?

I'd say take the leap, give it a try.

Once I was in the cohort, I realised just how powerful it was to be part of  a community going through similar experiences at the same time. You'll come out the other end with loads of practical tools and ideas to kickstart your career change.
