Five free classes for women who want to build a business, change careers or rebuild their career.
Work towards a clear direction, a short introduction you can use with an employer or customer, and a realistic 30-day plan. Natalie will teach you through the exercises, with examples for both business and employment.

This course is for women rebuilding their working lives after a difficult or controlling relationship.
You might be building a business, looking for a new career or rebuilding one you had to put aside. You might already be working and want to progress, earn more or do something different.
We’ll use examples for both business and employment throughout. You don’t need a business idea to join, and you don’t need to have your career plans worked out. You won’t be asked to tell the group what happened in your relationship.
Natalie teaches each class through Zoom and the Facebook group. You’ll have something small to try afterwards, with space to work it through in your workbook.
If you’re changing or rebuilding your career, we’ll look at the roles, income and working arrangements you want. If you’re building a business, we’ll look at your idea, who it could help and how it could fit around your life. For both, we’ll consider the time, money and support you need.
Use the checklist to choose one career goal or one business idea to work on during the classes.
For your career, we’ll find examples of your skills to use in a CV, application or interview, including experience outside paid work. For your business, we’ll look at how those skills could help a customer and why someone might pay for what you offer.
Write down one example of a skill you could bring to an employer or use to solve a customer’s problem.
If you’re focusing on your career, you’ll draft a short introduction for your CV or a conversation with an employer. If you’re building a business, you’ll describe what you offer, who it’s for and how it helps. We’ll work through examples of both together.
Read your career introduction or business description aloud and change anything you wouldn’t normally say.
For your career, we’ll practise conversations such as explaining a career break, asking about a role or discussing working hours. For your business, we’ll practise explaining your price, agreeing what’s included and setting a boundary with a client. You’ll use the scripts sheet to prepare a conversation that matters to you.
Adapt one script for an employer or a client and practise it privately. You don’t have to contact anyone during the class.
You’ll bring your work together into a 30-day plan. For your career, that might mean researching roles, preparing an application or arranging a professional conversation. For your business, it might mean speaking to potential customers, testing your idea or preparing an offer. The final group Q&A covers questions about putting either pathway into practice.
Choose your first career or business action, put it in your calendar and set a date to check how you’re getting on.
All five classes are free, including the materials below. You’ll use them to work through your ideas, prepare for conversations and decide what to do next in your business or career.
The workbook and sheets will be shared in the class Facebook group, along with the joining information.
