Your next bold move

A 6-week guided journey for high-achieving professionals ready to choose one area of life, commit fully, and finally create the breakthrough they've been circling for months (or years)

Two intimate groups starting May 2026:

Group 1: Mondays starting 4 May

Group 2: Thursdays starting 7 May

Only 4 spots per group.

.

I'm ready for this

You've put this one thing on hold so long that it's now starting to hurt.

 

On paper, your life works. 

In fact it more than works.

You have the job title, the credibility, the track record. 

You're trusted. Respected. The go-to person for your clients, bosses and teams.

Like, have you met yourself recently??

But if I were sitting quietly beside you on a normal weekday, I'd see something else entirely.

 

I'd see the creative project gathering dust - like the participant who had wanted to share a body of work for years, because she knew it could change lives - but was paralysed by concerns about what people would think and what if it wasn’t really that important after all.

 

I'd see the passion project you keep postponing - like the senior lecturer who wanted to teach bread making, but was concerned that it would take energy away from everything else that was competing for her attention.

 

I'd see you stuck between staying safe and taking the leap - like the lawyer who was afraid of making things worse if she spoke up and had the conversation she had been avoiding.

 

Basically - despite all the skills, experience and track record that we both know you already have - I would see an inertia and stuckness.

Not because you are lazy or because you are confused about what needs doing.

 

Simply because you have not put a fire up your own arse and got on with it. 

 

And you know what - the longer you stay there, the heavier it gets. 

 

The Real Problem Isn't That You Don’t Have Enough Time 

 

You keep saying you need more time, fewer fires, one clear weekend.

 

But that's not it.

 

The thing that's REALLY holding you back from making this ONE THING a priority:

 

âť— You think pursuing what lights you up will drain energy from everything else - your job, your family, your responsibilities

âť— You believe you have to choose - either be the serious professional OR follow your passion, but not both

âť— You think you only have one shot - so you better not f*ck it up

âť— You're afraid that once you start, once you say the words out loud and tell people what you really think, there is no unsaying it and there's no clean way back

❗ You think you need to have all your ducks in a row first, and anything less is not worth the risk  

 

But here's what might surprise you:

 

What if following what genuinely lights you up doesn't take energy away - but instead gives you more?

What if you don't have to choose between different parts of yourself?

What if each step will start to reveal itself as soon as you take the first one?

One recent participant discovered exactly this: "Pursuing something that matters deeply to me has created a positive energy that spills over into every other area of my life. Instead of feeling divided, I now feel more motivated, more creative and more myself."

 

All this thinking you’ve been doing till now has become the problem. 

 

You've analysed from every angle. What you haven't done is move.

 

[I'M READY TO CHANGE THIS]

What staying stuck is actually costing you

 

From the participants themselves:

 

"[Months and months more of saying] you should have done it. Why did you not do it? Making excuses, there'll be another time." - Katrina

 

"Not finding out that people want the thing that we think they want." - Debs

 

"Missing an opportunity regardless of what the opportunity is." - Raluca

 

They knew exactly what staying stuck was costing them:

 

  • Years of creative suppression and self-doubt
  • Business opportunities never tested
  • Professional development stagnating
  • Living in their heads instead of taking action
  • A growing resentment and frustration and stuckness that is absolutely knackering!

 

Look, let’s be honest - if nothing changes, next year won't look dramatically worse than this year. 

 

It will just look the same. 

 

And that's the piece that's starting to scare you.

 

Introducing Your Next Bold Move

 

This is how is works: 

You choose the focus.

The decision, conversation, or action you've been putting off.

 

Then we do it.

 

Three phases over six weeks:

 

Week 1: Foundations 

Slow down enough to hear yourself again.

Clarify what you want to create and what's been keeping you stuck.

 

Weeks 2-5: Experiments 

Take small actions that generate insight and momentum.

Doesn't need to be big gestures - just enough movement to create breakthroughs.

 

Week 6: Integration 

Reflect on what's shifted and choose your next moves.

 

You don’t need to be certain about everything to start - let’s face it, you just need to start. 

And I am here to help you do just that.

What actually happens inside Your Next Bold Move

 

"[Over six weeks, I went from] feeling stuck, overwhelmed and unsure of what direction to take, to a place of contentment and inspiration to continue to strive."

 

Real results from recent participants:

 

Strategic career moves

From avoiding difficult conversations to accepting board positions for governance experience

 

Creative breakthroughs

From being stuck for fear of what others think, to discovering "an avalanche of words" and sharing work on a newly created Substack

 

Product launches

From idea to beta test in a week, and then a single LinkedIn post to launch which generated 12 signups

 

Identity integration

Discovering "I can be all of those things and more" instead of choosing between different parts of themselves: 

"One of the biggest breakthroughs for me was realising that I do not have to choose between the different parts of myself. Before the programme, I felt scattered – torn between different ambitions and responsibilities. Through Joanna’s coaching, I came to see that I can be all of those things and more. I can be a “Renaissance woman”. It is okay to have more than one passion, more than one path, and more than one important part of my identity."

The community that changes everything

 

“Listening to other people articulate their own bold moves was incredibly powerful and had a very positive effect on me. It made me feel less alone, helped me think differently about my own situation, and created such a sense of encouragement and possibility.”

Something magical happens when you put high-achieving professionals in a room together and give them permission to be real.

 This isn't just a 6-week experience - it's a community that continues supporting your growth long after we finish.

Why This Works When Everything Else You’ve Done Before Hasn't

 

Most high-performing leaders often think they need all the steps laid out before they start.

But the steps only show themselves as you start to move.  

 

In fact, if your path is already all mapped out - you are probably following someone else’s path, and someone else’s version of success … 

YOUR path will only reveal itself as you start to walk it.  

 

You don't need someone to tell you what you should want or should do, and you certainly don’t need another cookie cutter framework.  

 

Because - spoiler alert - you already know exactly what needs doing.

 

Right now, there's too much noise for you to hear what you already know.

 

You need a brave and contained space where you can:

 

  • Stop spinning and start moving
  • Lower the volume on all the other opinions
  • Reconnect with your own wisdom
  • Take the first step... then the next one

 

That's what this is.

This is why I do what I do

I spent nearly two decades in Big 4 firms in both the UK and Luxembourg. I was the tax geek that could make it interesting, speaking on stages around the world, advising multinational household names. I became a Director in 2010.

Then I burned out - not once but twice.  (Yep, I have always been an overachiever).

In March 2014, a colleague died by suicide, and I realised that if I didn't change my life, this job might kill me.

In the 12 years since I have come to realise that being capable at my job and being connected to who I really was were really not the same thing.

Since then, I've worked on myself to find my way back home.  And I have worked with leaders who look successful on the outside and feel quietly disconnected on the inside.

My philosophy is simple: Until now, you have been doing what makes sense to you based on how you understand the world. Somewhere along the way you stopped trusting yourself and what you are capable of. You started looking to others to lay out a path.  And some of the things you have been doing as a result, just haven’t been effective and have instead kept you stuck.

What I do is create a brave space where you finally remember who you are and what you're capable of - so you can go move the mountains you used to think were impossible.

The Next Bold Move is for you if:

 

You're used to being the strong one who holds space for everyone else - but quite fancy having someone else hold the space for you for a change

 

You're tired of putting what's important to you on the back burner and are ready to finally move and make it work

 

You want accountability from a trusted guide and community to support you

 

You value depth over quick wins and are willing to do that work

 

You're willing to be honest and have the difficult conversation with yourself


HOWEVER this is not for you if you aren’t ready to take responsibility for yourself and would prefer to just whinge and whine all day about how your life is shit and nothing is changing. 

 

BUT HEY - you wouldn’t have read this far if that was you, right?

Why should you do this now?

 

Because this state or not-doing-the-thing is starting to have consequences.

 

You don't need to rush. But you do need to start.

 

And starting is easier when you don't have to do it alone.

Here is what some of the participants from the last cohort said after it finished

Debs

"I can actually make these things happen even with lots of disaster and craziness" - Debs, managing family crisis while growing her business

Katrina

"Words are coming from places I don't recognise … and [quite frankly] I don’t actually care what anyone else thinks" - Katrina, experiencing creative breakthrough after years of doubt

Raluca

“Joanna’s coaching created a rare combination of challenge, clarity and genuine support, which helped me move from self‑doubt to a deeper sense of authorship in my professional life. What I appreciated most was the way the programme invited me to pause and examine the assumptions beneath my decisions, so that “career development” became less about chasing external milestones and more about choosing how I want to show up as a leader. I would warmly recommend working with her to anyone who is curious not only about what they do next, but about who they are becoming in the process.” - Raluca, taking complete ownership of her leadership development

Kathy

"I am so glad I did this programme.  It helped me make peace with my decisions, reconnect with what gives me energy, and move forward with much more confidence and clarity" - Kathy, integrating all parts of herself and no longer needing to choose between them

If you are still reading

 

Something in you already knows.

This is not about piling more pressure on yourself.

It's about finally giving yourself permission to go after what you want.
