I can totally recommend Brave Starts to anyone looking at their working life who is that little bit older! The areas they help with are diverse and often seed ideas you never thought about. Open and approachable they deliver vast networking opportunities as well as practical support....
I've just logged out of a brilliant hour talking with Lucy and 3 other members about age as an asset. Brilliant not just because it's exactly what I needed today but also because it was structured and delivered as an evidence based, empathetic examination of why and how the confidence and experience born of age IS and asset that we can leverage. Highly recommend
This was a great opportunity to connect with like minded people in their 50's looking for support and inspiration to weigh up career options. Lucy and Alan's warm and structured approach to coaching was most conducive to opening up meaningful conversations amongst us...
I joined Bravestart this week. Lucy has been excellent in her communication and support since our first interaction. Today I attended two sessions both different but equally informative. I really feel that this network and it's members will offer me the opportunity to move forward at the right pace to change my career direction and/or help me create a plan specifically for me....
