Happy Monday Escapees!
Today we're here with a PSA: Early Bird applications are NOW open for our 2025 Career Change Accelerator Programme.
We’ve all had that moment—staring down change like a swimmer at the edge of a freezing lake, wondering if the shock will wake us up or take us under. The advice is always the same: Just jump.
But let’s be honest. Most of us don’t leap—we shuffle cautiously, one foot in, then out, then in again, trying to convince ourselves we’re the kind of person who loves wild, reckless adventure.
Here’s the truth: Change doesn’t have to be reckless. You don’t have to torch your past life to build a new one. The best leaps come with a landing plan. That’s exactly why we created the Career Change Accelerator, kicking off in May. Early Bird spaces are limited, get your application in here.
A few ways the Career Change Accelerator can help you leap (without losing your safety net):
✔ Clarity, without the guesswork. We’ll help you figure out what’s next, even if you have no idea where to start.
✔ A structured, step-by-step approach. No more overthinking—just practical tools, frameworks, and expert guidance to move forward.
✔ A supportive community. You don’t have to do this alone. You’ll be surrounded by people making bold moves (and cheering you on as you do the same).
The leap is always scary. But done right, it’s less of a freefall—more of a calculated, well-timed push.

Happy Escaping!
