How we work
Each session involves a range of content:
- Informational delivery from me on key topics
- Short individual exercises with the opportunity (but no obligation) to share
- Work in pairs or smaller groups in breakout rooms
- Group polls, exercises and discussions
In our first session we establish ground rules including group confidentiality. This gives a safe space where people can feel comfortable discussing and sharing ideas for the future. I hold a space for the group which is friendly, supportive and non-judgemental.

Lucy is great; excellent at explaining and listening and kept the course flowing. I liked the fact Lucy would be always open for suggestions of how to improve the course – she wanted all the people to get the most out of it and enjoy it.

Felt like a really safe space to share ideas. The practical exercises really helped me discover things about myself and work things out.

Lucy, you are so warm and informative and really know your stuff, and you are so happy and keen to pass on that knowledge. It has definitely made me think about my career transition in a clearer light.
