ABOUT THE GROUP: 

Please introduce yourself in the main feed when you enter the group. This is for everyone in the Getting Ready for Your Next Grade community, not just your cohort. And when others introduce themselves please make them feel really welcome. It's nerve wracking to be a newbie so let's make everyone feel welcome.

This is a space to share learnings, discuss action steps and move forward to develop your confidence and your career!

It is a place to learn, grow and connect

WHAT TO EXPECT HERE:
✨Resources and workshops to help you develop the skills, strategy and confidence to get unstuck and move forward in the way you want.
✨An incredible community of people who are all committed to supporting, uplifting, motivating and empowering one another.

🙋‍♀️ MEET YOUR HOST:
Hi, I’m Fiona! I’m a Professional Development Coach for Professionals in Higher Education. I'm really invested in helping you to succeed (whatever that means to you) in your life and career. I wholeheartedly believe that working in HE doesn’t need to feel as difficult as it sometimes can. So I started this community as a way to support you in that. It’s about finding your way, in HE, in your career, in management and in leadership – it’s all good.

Outside of work I live in London with my husband, daughter and cat. I love to spend time in the woods, I love to move my body, I love to be in deep conversation with friends and I love pretty much any TV show made by Shona Rhimes!

You’re so welcome here! Let's dive in
