FAQs for Individuals

Start by separating what is wrong with your current role from what is wrong with the kind of work you do. If the problem is your manager, scope, pay or flexibility, a different role or a better conversation at work might be enough. If the work itself no longer fits your strengths, priorities or life, explore a broader change before sending out applications. Your Next Move helps you work through both possibilities and turn the answer into a realistic plan; 1:1 career coaching is available if you want dedicated support.

Start with the outcome you need. Mini-courses tackle a specific challenge; Your Next Move Self-Paced offers the complete career-clarity framework without coaching; and Your Next Move Live adds direct support, group coaching and accountability. For individual attention, consider 1:1 career coaching. Current prices and offers are on the linked pages. Not sure? Book a free 15-minute call.

The Self-Paced program covers eight stages: strengths and ambitions, priorities, timeline, ideal work-life, negotiating with others, planning your next move, sustainable action and integration. You get practical activities and six months’ access. It is entirely self-directed: no live calls, community, direct feedback or coaching from Ellen.

Both versions cover the eight-part career-clarity framework. Self-Paced gives you six months to work through it independently, with no live calls, community or feedback from Ellen. Your Next Move Live adds eight weekly group sessions, personal coaching, a peer community and accountability. See the linked pages for current prices, terms and availability.

Mini-courses vary in length depending on the topic, but they're designed for busy lives. All of Ellen's videos are between 1 and 5 minutes so there's no wading through hours of fluff. Get in, get what you need and get on with your day.

The mini-courses focus on practical job-searching and flexible-work challenges, including CVs, interviews, negotiation and workplace boundaries. See the current catalogue for topics, availability and prices.

It depends on the decision you are working through and what you do with it. You can start clarifying your priorities and testing options while you work through the exercises; a job change or new way of working may take longer. The live program adds coaching and accountability, while the self-paced course asks you to set your own rhythm. We do not promise a fixed timeline or a particular career or financial outcome.

Your Next Move Self-Paced includes six months of access, and Your Next Move Live also provides six months' access to its materials. Access terms for other products may differ; check the relevant sales page before you enrol.

All live sessions are recorded and available to replay. You can watch at your own pace and still participate fully in the program. We understand life happens!

Your Next Move Live includes a peer community where participants can share experiences and questions. The self-paced course does not include community access or direct support. Check the live program page for the current inclusions.

Your Next Move is for mid-career professionals deciding what they want from their working life. Choose the self-directed or live coached version based on how much support you want.
