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. There is a great demand for this out there and thank you very much both for your important work in breaking down social taboos about older workers.
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. All this under the excellent support of the highly professional and knowledgeable Bravestart team led by Lucy.
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
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. Having been part of their entrepreneur network and business owner training course I keep an eye out for events that link to my 'portfolio' approach to work and have just been rejuvenated by the excellent 'Your age is your asset workshop' with great breakout discussion and fact-based evidence leading to practical application just when I needed it.
"The Brave Starts community allowed me to be open about what I needed out of my career"
"Getting clarity on my next steps was easier once I knew others were in the same boat as me"
"The chance to connect and learn from other people in the fashion sector gave me the boost I needed"

Career coaching is the main 'competitor' or alternative to what we offer. As career coaches ourselves, we're in a good place to say how we differ from a typical career coaching service:
