What you’ll take away

Six things you’ll leave knowing

Not theory. Decisions, wording and next steps you can use on your own career the same week.

01

How to name what you actually want next

Hear how each mentee moved from “I know this isn’t working” to a direction concrete enough to act on.

02

Why you’re not starting from zero

Spot the transferable experience in your own background instead of applying as a beginner.

03

How to explain a non-linear career

Turn pivots and career breaks into a story a recruiter finds convincing, not something to apologise for.

04

What mentoring actually changes

Concrete before-and-after: applications, interviews, network, skills, decisions and the opportunities that followed.

05

How to close the confidence gap

What to do when the experience is there but your confidence hasn’t caught up and how mentors build it.

06

What to do before you feel ready

The one move each speaker would make sooner and what they’d skip entirely if they started again.

Speakers
