ENROLLMENT NOW OPEN
You've spent years building a successful career. So why is figuring out what YOU want next so damn difficult?
Do I really want that promotion?
Do I stay, or do I go?
And if I get what I've been working towards… do I actually want all that comes with it?
Discover HOW to find the clarity you've been searching for with my proven four-stage Career Clarity Framework.
Just four 15-minute audios, followed by a 45-minute LIVE lunchtime masterclass where you'll create your own personal Career Clarity Map and finally see a way forward.
DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
You've made it to the executive ranks of the APS. You've worked hard, made sacrifices and assumed that, as it always has, your career would keep progressing. But the years have passed, and you're still here. Still delivering. Still wondering why that next opportunity hasn't come along. And now, after all this time, you're beginning to wonder whether you even want it anymore.
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.
If you're honest, you've been hoping your circumstances will make the decision for you.... A new boss. A restructure. An unexpected opportunity. Something that will finally make it obvious what you should do next.
If you answered OMG YES this is me... then the great news is this five day mini audilo experience was made for you....

TESTIMONIALS
Anh
EL2, 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.
Meagan
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.
Linda
Recently Retired APS
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.
Trina
Urban Planner | Board Member
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.
Gill
APS EL2
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.
Like the EL2 who took six months away from work, burnt out and feeling undervalued, convinced she wouldn't return to her agency. Yet she returned to a high-profile role where her experience and expertise were recognised and valued.
Or the senior leader who was tired of colleagues dumping their latest crises on her team and expecting everything else to take a back seat. Today, she's having very different conversations, with the organisation's most senior executives calling to ask whether she has time to speak with them.
And that's why I created So, What the Hell Comes Next? To help more experienced women leaders discover what's possible when they stop asking what they should do next and start exploring what they actually want.
