OverviewCorporate careers are not what they used to be. In recent years we've been reexamining our relationship with work. We expect much more from the day job. We want to feel valued and valuable not just for what we produce but for who we are - and we want more time for life outside work. Whilst this period of adjustment is filled with possibilities and potential, it can also be deeply unsettling. The Great Resignation was followed by the Great Regret, prompting the Great Rethink and highlighting more than ever the need for a planned exit, even if forced or unexpected. And the good news is that the skills, experience and know-how you've acquired in your corporate career can unlock the possibility of doing something more fulfilling, with more agency, more meaning - perhaps even more profitably. Corporate Escapology helps you uncover and understand your strengths and what makes you thrive, opening you up to new opportunities for the next chapter of your life. Discover a proven, practical, five-step method to help you exit corporate life in a way which is both hopeful and authentic, so you can escape to a more fulfilling future.
