What She Did Next - Career Change Survey

Building on the success of our podcast series, we are taking What She Did Next to the next level.

We’re embarking on some new projects to help women navigate their career change journey.

If you've been thinking about, or are in the process of, making a career change (this could mean redesigning your career in some way or a complete career reinvention), we’d love to hear about what stage you’re at, the challenges you might be facing and the support that would be most helpful for you.

As a thank you for taking the time to complete this survey, we are also offering you the opportunity to be among the first group to take part in our new program. If this is of interest to you, please include your email address before submitting the survey and we’ll be in touch with further information.

Thank you!
