I've refreshed and relaunched our community, shaped directly by what you told me in the survey. Here's everything that's new, and how to keep your place.

A new community opens Thursday 1 October. Same warmth, same price, plus the upgrades you asked for.

What's new for 2026/27

Three brand-new strands, built from your feedback, alongside everything you already love.

Monthly · 1 hour

Future Focus

Stay ahead of a fast-changing world of work, from sharpening your LinkedIn and visibility today, to planning your longer-term vision and future-proofing your career.

Monthly · read or listen

The Grapevine

A monthly intelligence report on the trends, networks and shifts that matter, and what's really moving beneath the surface of the hidden job market.

Every 2 months · 1 hour

The Boardroom

Build a portfolio career: non-executive and board roles, advisory work and new streams of entrepreneurial income, and how to position yourself for them.

Staying

Everything you love, kept

  • Monthly Newsletter, themed and practical
  • Careerships Corner guest speakers, every two months
  • Coffee Chat, informal and drop-in
  • Four in-person events, three regional plus a flagship London

Plus a warmer welcome for every new member: a buddy for your first month and a quarterly Welcome Circle.

Evolving

Questions

What does membership cost, and has it changed?

Alumni stays £300 + VAT for the year, no increase. Elite is £500 + VAT on top, and the AI Collaborative is £1,000 + VAT.

What if I can't make every session?

Nothing is compulsory. Sessions are recorded for members, and the newsletter, The Grapevine and the WhatsApp community mean you can dip in around your diary. I'm also improving timing and reminders this year.

Do I have to be an Alumni member to join Elite or the AI Collaborative?

Yes, both sit on top of Alumni membership and are exclusive to members. That's what makes the group so valuable.

How do I confirm I'm staying?

Just message me on WhatsApp by Wednesday 16 September. I'll send your invoice, with payment due by Friday 25 September.
