The Blueprint

A 52-week fully immersive programme to cut through the noise, gain recognition and fast-track your career growth.

Ok, listen up. It’s time to stop doom scrolling and start putting some time into you.

We’re so proud to present The Blueprint—a 52-week, fully immersive program designed to get your career on track without working yourself into the ground or losing your mind.

It’s practical advice, no fluff, and all the tools you need to build a career and a life you actually love.

Basically, it’s the year-long guide we wish we’d had.

We CAN help you get you that promotion. You CAN have that pay rise. You WILL lead people. You WILL be valued at work by the time we’re finished.

Sound Familiar?

You’re stuck in a job where your hard work gets overlooked (but Karen’s bare minimum gets a standing ovation).

You’re juggling office politics, self-doubt, burnout, and imposter syndrome like a pro and it's f***ing exhausting.

You know you want more from your career, but where the hell do you even start?

We get it—we’ve been there. That’s exactly why we created THE BLUEPRINT. It’s not another fluffy course (we promise). It’s your guide to navigating the chaos, setting real goals, and finally taking charge of your career.

OK, but what is the Blueprint?

It's a 52-week, fully immersive program, and honestly, we’ve looked, and there’s just nothing else out there like THE BLUEPRINT.

We created what we wish we’d had. A program designed to give you clarity, confidence, and actionable strategies to take your career to the next level.

The Blueprint is broken into five power-packed modules, each focused on a key area of your career and personal growth. Together, they’ll give you the tools to thrive in the workplace, grow your confidence, and create a plan that works for you.

We'll work with you set up a personalised plan for your career growth in a 1:1 session with one of us. You’ll also get regular check-ins to keep you accountable and coaching sessions every four weeks to guide you through your progress.
