You’ve got the experience. You’ve got the skills. So why isn’t your CV getting you the job? The reality is, getting hired is about much more than what’s written on your CV.
In this session, we’ll unpack what really helps you stand out – from writing applications that get noticed and building a personal brand, to networking without the awkwardness, feeling more confident in interviews and showcasing the transferable skills you might be underestimating.
Whether you’re actively job hunting, thinking about your next move or looking to make yourself more visible to potential employers, you’ll leave with practical tips to help you put yourself forward with confidence – and make sure the right people see what you have to offer.

You’re doing the work, gaining the experience and taking on more responsibility – so what’s stopping you from taking the next step?
Career progression doesn’t always happen automatically. Sometimes, you need to recognise when you’re ready, make your ambitions known and create opportunities for yourself.
We’ll explore how to know when you’re ready for a promotion, build the skills and experience needed for the next level, and have more confident career conversations with your manager. We’ll also look at how to create your own opportunities rather than waiting for them to come your way.
Whether you’re aiming for your first promotion, looking to move into a more senior role or simply wondering what your next step could look like, you’ll leave with practical ideas to help you take ownership of your career and move forward with confidence.

Taking a career break doesn’t mean your career has to start again from scratch.
Whether you’ve stepped away from work for parental leave, caring responsibilities or another reason, returning can come with a mix of excitement, uncertainty and questions about where you fit in.
We’ll explore how to rebuild your confidence, talk about career gaps without feeling the need to apologise for them, reconnect with your professional network and refresh the skills you need for your next step. We’ll also look at how to talk about everything you’ve gained from your time away with confidence.
Because a career break is part of your career story – not something you need to hide.

Stepping into your first leadership role can be exciting, but it can also come with plenty of questions. How do you lead without trying to have all the answers? How do you manage different personalities? And how do you support your team without losing sight of yourself?
In this session, we’ll explore the common mistakes first-time managers make, how to develop a leadership style that feels authentic to you, and how to set clear expectations from the start. We’ll also look at managing different personalities, dealing with self-doubt and protecting your own wellbeing while supporting your team.
Because becoming a great leader isn’t about having it all figured out – it’s about learning how to lead with confidence, clarity and authenticity.

Graduating is a huge achievement. Then suddenly, you’re expected to know how to be a professional.
Starting your first job can feel like a completely different world. From figuring out how to communicate with colleagues and manage expectations to understanding office culture, building relationships and finding your confidence, there’s a lot that nobody teaches you at university.
We’ll unpack some of the unwritten rules of starting your career – including how to navigate workplace communication, build relationships early on and make the transition from education to employment. We’ll also explore what it’s like to work from home for the first time and how to stay connected when you’re not in the office.
Whether you’re about to start your first role or are still finding your feet, you’ll leave with practical advice to help you feel more confident, capable and prepared for the world of work.
