ENROLLMENT NOW OPEN
A 5 day experience for senior women leaders in the APS who are asking “What the Hell Comes Next?”Â
Discover WHY figuring out what YOU want has become soooo challenging.Â
Find clarity, rediscover hope and start seeing exciting possibilities for your future, without having to turn your whole life upside down to find the answers.
DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?Â
You've spent years knowing exactly what you wanted. You've worked hard and made sacrifices to get where you are. And yet, when someone asks what you want next, you’re suddenly lost for words.Â
You're perfectly capable of writing ministerial briefs, answering Questions on Notice and making complex, difficult decisions with far-reaching consequences every day. But when it comes to deciding what's next for YOU, you go round and round in circles without ever gaining any traction.
You keep hoping something will change. A new boss. A restructure. An opportunity to show everyone just how amazing you are. But how much longer are you prepared to wait for things to change before you start asking yourself what YOU might want to do differently?
If you answered OMG YES this is me... then join me for this five-day experience and discover what's REALLY been keeping you stuck ANDÂ how to get the clarity you've been looking for.
THE AGENDA
Here’s what we’re covering in this 5-day experience

Walking the dog, driving to work, making dinner or enjoying a quiet coffee. No extra time to carve out of your already busy day!
Three days to catch up and let it all sink in
Friday through Sunday are yours to revisit the audios, catch up on anything you've missed and reflect on what you've discovered.

Revisit your favourite audios as often as you like, catch anything you missed and watch the LIVE masterclass replay whenever it suits you. Sometimes the biggest insights come the second (or third!) time around!
TESTIMONIALS
DR Anh Pham Waddell
Department of Defence
I recently had a complimentary Leadership Reflection Conversation with Emma at a pivotal point in my career. I came seeking advice about an important leadership meeting, but what I gained was much more than a strategy. Emma helped me shift my thinking from trying and as a result I approached the meeting differently to how I planned and as a result, and it opened up opportunities I hadn't anticipated. If you're a senior leader navigating an important career decision or high-stakes conversation, I highly recommend taking the opportunity to speak with Emma.

Director, Program and Project Governance
I've had the pleasure of working with Emma for a number of years and have always found her an inspirational woman in business and authentic leader. We have been connected consistently over the past 10 years, including undertaking her Done.By.Design Leadership Program, however looking to gain deeper insight into leadership, we reconnected through a career conversation. Emma has always had an amazing of listening, digesting, and providing valuable insights with fresh perspective. I left our conversation feeling clearer about my direction and more confident about my next steps.

I didn't realise how disconnected I'd become from myself, my community, my voice. This experience helped me remember who I am and what I bring to the world. I've stepped back into my power, softer, wiser, and more grounded than ever.

I had a conversation with Emma at a time when I was reflecting on my leadership career. Emma has a thoughtful and perceptive way of listening and helping you see your situation from a new perspective. I felt energised about how I might approach the next chapter of my career. Emma brings deep leadership experience and genuine insight to these conversations.
Louise
APS EL2
Before working with Emma, I was running on empty. Burned out, unsure if I could keep going in my role, completely disconnected from myself. Now? I feel like I've come back home to my strength, my clarity, and my confidence. I'm leading again, but this time from a place of deep alignment.

Emma helped me with some future planning as an objective party. She guided me through a series of thought-provoking questions to help me discover different perspectives and gently challenged any potentially outdated thinking. It was exactly what I needed to help me move forward, and I feel much more comfortable in my skin as a result.
Sue
CEO
Before working with Emma, I would have described my life as manic. But now I feel more settled and a lot clearer about how my big life changes came about. I can now see the different choices that are available to me and I'm looking at these with a more a more heart centred perspective.
Alice
Partner Consultancy Firm
Before I worked with Emma I was burnt out and disconnected from the people I love most. Now I feel calm, present, and deeply connected, especially to my kids. This work has changed everything.
Former APS Senior Executive, Leadership Strategist and Coach, and a woman who knows a thing or two about wondering what the hell comes next!
I spent more than 14 years climbing the ranks of the APS, eventually reaching SES Band 1.
But when I reached a crossroads in my own career, I discovered something rather confronting.
I had absolutely no idea what I wanted for myself!
I left the APS at 47, exhausted and questioning everything I'd worked so hard to achieve.
Since then, I've come to understand that what happens to many experienced women at this stage of life isn't simply a career problem. And it certainly isn't a lack of capability or ambition.
There's often something much deeper going on.
Today, I work with experienced women leaders, helping them understand the patterns that have shaped their success, reconnect with themselves and discover new possibilities for their careers and lives.
Because I believe the next chapter of your life deserves to be less about what you're capable of and more about what YOU actually want.
And I'd love to help you begin discovering that.
Are you ready?
