August 2026 events
This month in The Unconventional Career Club there is a on focus Daring to be Different in your career. Creating a career you love requires you to figure out what success means to you, not following what everyone else is doing. Sometimes that requires you to step out of your comfort zone and try something new.
The workshop this month is a reflection on what happens when you make time to think about your career and the co-working session will challenge you to define success on your own terms.
The regular career support sessions are now live and can be booked using the links below.

5 Lessons I learnt from a bouji business retreat
In April, Club founder Laura Cloke went on a business retreat in the South of France. She went hoping to refresh her business strategy, but what she experienced was life changing.
In this short workshop, Laura will share the lessons she learnt from taking a step back from her career and how you can do the same to create a career you love.

Career drop-in sessions
Every Friday you can chat to me about a career topic that has been on your mind. You can book a 15-minute slot to speak to me about whatever is on your mind. I’ll help you to see your situation from a new perspective and you will leave with a question to reflect on that will help you to get unstuck.
Places are limited
Career Questions?
Every month you have the opportunity to ask me anything about your career development. I can’t promise to give you an answer, but I will ask you a question to help you to think about how you could move forward with your challenge. The August Career Question post is live, so drop your question in the comments and I’ll help you to create a career you love.
Don’t forget that you can see replays of previous workshops and get support on different aspects of your career in the Career Advice section of the club.
