Resources

There are many resources to help you uncover and pursue your one true passion. This website is not one of them. But if you weren’t designed to do just one thing at a time, or you want to make sure your career is resilient no matter what the future holds, you’re in the right place.

If you aren’t sure you know your one true calling (or that one even exists for you!), we can help. The good news is that you don’t need to know in advance how you want your career to turn out. In fact, it’s likely you’ll change industries several times throughout your career, and many of the roles that will be in demand ten years from now may not even exist today. Whilst that may sound overwhelming, or make it difficult to know where to start, building adaptability into your career will help you respond and thrive no matter what the future may hold.

Undergrad Student

Finishing your undergrad soon and not sure where to next? Wanting to build in resilience early in your career? Looking to accelerate quickly and secure exciting new opportunities?

PhD Student/EMCR

Working on your PhD but not sure the academic path is for you? Currently in research but want to explore what opportunities exist in industry or government? Unsure how to translate your skills to move into a new sector?

Working Professional

Is your current way of working not working for you anymore? Are you craving more fulfillment or greater balance? Finding demand for your skillset dropping? Want to make a significant change but don't want to go back to square one?

In times of rapid change, the most adaptable thrive

We’ve heard a lot about the future of work that’s “coming”, but COVID offered an accelerated insight into what happens when the rules we take for granted no longer apply. Companies come and go all the time, sometimes entire industries disappear as new technology is developed or it becomes advantageous to shift offshore. And just because a company has been around for 100 years doesn’t mean there’s any guarantee that it will make it to the end of the month. The idea of one permanent job with one company is quickly becoming outdated in the modern economy. Careers are rapidly evolving in response. From one job with one company, to a richer combination of employment opportunities, side hustles, contracts etc.
