A new way to approach career change
A structured career change that guides you through real career clarity, direction and transition without the pressure. Specialist coaching, practical clubs and a community of people navigating the same crossroads.
You're not alone in this
Confusion. Restlessness. The weight of knowing something needs to change, but not knowing what or how. That’s where most people are when they find us.
Is your current career holding you back?
Many professionals struggle with a lack of passion, ongoing stress, burnout, and a feeling of being stuck without clear direction. Common fears include financial instability, fear of change, lack of confidence, feeling pigeonholed, and concerns about age affecting career prospects.
How we support your career change
We help you change career through our career change programme, with group or 1:1 coaching with our specialists.
"The experience has been phenomenal.
I’ve built confidence and quit my old job, and am now in the career of my dreams."
How it works
A hybrid career change journey that blends deep, independent reflection with active community support. You won’t just be reading about career change; you will be actively working on it through a rhythm of learning and doing that adapts to your schedule.
Online modules
Complete step-by-step exercises in your own time and at your own pace, building your roadmap through our comprehensive online curriculum.
Specialist Coaching
Attend regular live sessions – choose from group or one-to-one – dedicated to your specific stage of career change, helping you unblock challenges whether you are.
Three 'Engine Rooms' of change
Join our specialised club meetings, led by experts and designed to turn your plans into action through networking, experimentation, and consistent accountability.
Career Experiments Club
Guided, low-risk action-taking to help you get out of your comfort zones, build confidence and explore options. Base your decisions on lived evidence, not guesswork.
Authentic Networking Club
A safe, structured space to build authentic networking skills and meaningful relationships that lead to real opportunities, such as in the hidden job market.
Monthly Momentum Club
Monthly accountability and motion sessions to review what you’ve learned, adjust your direction, and set fresh priorities and actions for the month ahead.
Our proven process for a more fulfilling work-life
We career change into manageable phases. You move through your exploration and transition at a pace that suits your life, not a calendar.
Clarify what fulfilment actually looks like for you
Prepare helps you identify the fulfilment factors that matter most in your working life – including strengths, passions, values, energy drivers and transferable skills. Rather than starting with job titles, you build a grounded picture of what you want to move towards and what you want to leave behind.
The key milestone of this phase is defining up to five career avenues or hypotheses worth exploring. These aren’t commitments or final answers – they’re well-formed starting points that give your exploration focus and direction.
Explore, discover, test and shortlist ideas in the real world
Explore begins with a personalised Career Pathways Analysis, generated using your fulfilment factors from Prepare. This gives you structured, credible starting points and shows you a range of possible directions, pathways and role types – not just obvious job matches.
From there, exploration becomes active. You’ll use a clear LinkedIn exploration method to research real people and real paths, connect with others through the Experiments Club and Authentic Networking Club, and run low-risk career experiments. This phase is about replacing assumptions with evidence and building confidence through action.
Turn evidence into a confident, practical way forward
Plan is where you evaluate what you’ve learned and decide what to pursue. You’ll carry out due diligence on your strongest options, test risks and assumptions, and assess practical considerations such as affordability, timelines and impact on your life.
This phase focuses on confidence-building, risk mitigation and decision-making. You’ll create a realistic plan that balances ambition with security – including budgets, transition steps and contingencies – so you can move forward with clarity rather than second-guessing.

You’re never locked into just one coach. Career, life and confidence coaches & mentors, CV and job search specialists, finance & wellbeing support – all in one place, working together.

We're always looking for experienced coaches and specialists who share our values and want to help people build fulfilling working lives.
Support across the full landscape of fulfilment and growth
Thriveherd brings together specialist coaches, resources and programmes across six interconnected themes that support the whole of your fulfilment and growth.
Identity and impact
Understanding who you are and what matters now
Exploring your values, strengths and sense of contribution, especially when your old answers no longer quite fit. This theme helps you reconnect with what feels meaningful and make sense of who you are becoming, so future choices feel grounded rather than forced.
Self-belief
Building trust in yourself and your capabilities
Growing confidence in your abilities, your value and your right to take up space.
Wellbeing and resilience
Protecting your energy and building sustainability
Managing burnout, recovering your wellbeing and creating working patterns that last.
Direction and momentum
Finding clarity and building forward momentum
Testing ideas, making decisions and moving towards work that feels right for you.
Professional visibility
Developing presence, expanding opportunities
Building visibility, strengthening networks and creating the conditions for meaningful opportunities.
Money confidence
Building transformational money skills & mindset
Growing your relationship with money, understanding your worth and negotiating with clarity.
The themes are not separate tracks you have to manage. They run through everything we offer, including our group sessions, clubs, courses, tools and resources, and our online career change modules. This creates an integrated experience, where different kinds of support reinforce each other rather than sitting in isolation.
This means you can trust that the important things are covered through your membership, while still choosing where to focus your time and energy based on what you need most right now.

Why we do this work
Our story began with the individual coaching practices of our co-founders, Paul and Silvana, supporting people who felt stuck, burnt out or misaligned in their work. Over time, they saw a clear pattern: when people found clarity and confidence in their careers, the ripple effect extended far beyond them – into their teams, organisations, families and communities.
They also noticed something that didn’t sit well. World-class coaching is too often the preserve of the few, effectively making access to a fulfilling working life means-tested. Thriveherd exists to change that.
From this commitment grew a team of values-driven coaches, and PEP Talk was shaped as a community-based membership. The result is world-class coaching delivered in a more accessible way, without sacrificing depth, quality or long-term impact.
Real voices of change
Hear from people who've found their way forward with Thriveherd
I have successfully found a job in a new sector without much previous experience. I can say loud and clear that I feel very positive!
Before this programme, I felt stuck in a career that no longer held meaning or satisfaction for me.
One month after finishing the programme I’ve been offered a role in my new career, working 100% from home. This could not have worked out any better!
I’ve now got a new job in a meaningful area that I feel passionately about and which genuinely aligns with who I am. I am really excited about my career going forwards!
