Careers Reinventors 40+
Career Reinventors 40+ helps midlife professionals to reinvigorate or reinvent their careers to find more meaningful satisfying and rewarding work. Work they’re more fired up about
Midlife professionals face external pressures from globalisation, organisation restructuring and increasing automation and artificial intelligence, this can leave professionals feeling overworked, unappreciated and insecure. In addition, just as psychologist Carl Jung identified; by the age of forty, many people question what they want from their lives and what they want from their careers. Everyone’s heard of the so-called ‘midlife crisis’. Jung attributed it to a ‘search for meaning’ and also
a need to live a more ‘authentic’ life. This can lead to people wanting to develop and use talents that they may have previously neglected, and perhaps pursue a new career path.”
Midlife professionals need to discover personal strategies, and develop individual career reinvigoration and reinvention plans – and that’s what Career Reinventors 40+ supports them to do.”

Event Details
“Miss Lolly is that rare thing – a financial advisor who makes you feel positive about money issues. She understands the complex relationship many of us have with money and helps make sense of it all.
Financial literacy is a consistent area of concern for many of our Ladies in London community and always high on our feedback agenda.
With this in mind, LiL is excited to announce our latest event for 2018. We have partnered with the impressive Molly Benjamin, founder of She’s On The Money.
Molly, accompanied by Miss Lolly will talk guests through some basic principles, such as:
- How much is too much in savings?
- Where should you keep cash and why cash isn’t always king
- How to take control of your retirement
- Getting on the property ladder and a little stick to cut years off your mortgage
- Give yourself a payrise
The event will be a short, sharp and shiny breakfast format. We know you’re all busy women juggling at least 6 things at once, so we aim to arm you with crucial information, powered by croissants and caffeine, before sending you off to attack your day.
Stay financially fearless – LET’S DO THIS!

Join WILD for Part 2 of their WILDlings Event Series, as they talk about overcoming challenges in the workplace, from two very different perspectives!
The WILD community are in for a real treat, with a diverse panel session providing the opportunity to hear the synergies of Workplace challenges from the Financial markets to Rugby Field, as we discuss top tips for tackling common workplace challenges with authentic leadership, confidence, self awareness and reliance.
WILD is extremely privileged to have the support of CME Group who have kindly agreed to host the evening. CME Group have a longstanding strong commercial partnership with, and are proud sponsors of the Saracens Women’s Rugby Team and we are thrilled to have one of the team on our panel. The Saracens Women’s team recently defended their title and were crowned champions at the Women’s Tyrells Premier 15s for the 207/18 season, securing the title for the 13th time. Quite an achievement when you consider the team aren’t ‘professional’ and fit their rugby around their full time jobs!
Joining their Saracens panel is Nick Bradley from Mandala Leaders specialising in Business & Sports Leadership Coaching, presenting ‘Zero To Authentic Hero – the 7 key steps to become a true leader’ and dive deeper into how many of our behaviours are driven by sub-conscious beliefs. Nick is also qualified in Sports Psychology In Business and separately is a qualified business and leadership coach with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council. Nick also supports ‘The 3 Pillars Project’ which promotes Exercise, Education and Ethos in young people by taking rugby into prisons.
This is sure to be a lively and motivating evening to get you thinking about workplace challenges in a new light.

Careers Club & WeAreTheCity would like to invite you to join them for an evening of learning and networking – Building Resilience: Be honest about the impact of stress on your performance and take immediate action with Kate Franklin, Co-Founder and Director of White & Lime
Wednesday 10 October 2018, 5.45pm – 8.45pm at MUFG, Ropemaker Place, 25 Ropemaker Street, London, EC2Y 9AJ
This interactive session is supportive, validating and hard-hitting. It challenges audience members to be honest with themselves about the impact of stress on their performance – and to take immediate action to build resilience.
Almost half of UK employees feel under pressure at work at least once a week and increasing numbers are experiencing excessive pressure every single working day (CIPD, 2017.) 40% of the US population believe that it’s impossible to succeed at work and have a balanced family life (Deloitte, 2017).
Kate is a recovering workaholic herself. She aims to provoke thinking and offer hope: her belief is that even in the most challenging environments it is possible to keep a clear head and avoid burnout. Kate’s company, White & Lime, has been researching resilience and providing focused coaching and group workshops since 2005. White & Lime content is based on practical business experience and the latest thinking in mindfulness, neuroscience and coaching. It is focused on enabling people to rise out of fire- fighting, thrive at work and have a fulfilling and balanced life.
By the end of the session, participants will:
- Understand the physiological processes of overwhelm and have a been offered a healthy way to respond
- Be more aware of how to manage energy and performance through improved nutrition, sleep and exercise
- Have talked confidentially to a workshop partner about their own situation in order to immediately apply this learning
- Have identified ‘one small change’ in their micro-habits that they can implement immediately to create a more enjoyable experience of working life

Session 1: The Power of Profile with Vanessa Vallely
Personal profile can be one of the most powerful elements in your business armoury, but you have to know what tools and techniques will help you build it, protect it and drive your success. Culturally, many people are brought up not to “toot your own horns” or “shout about our successes”, but in today’s highly competitive world if you don’t stand out you’re likely to watch those with profile pass you by on their way to the top.
Throughout this interactive and practical session Vanessa will share stories from her career about how she rose from project analyst to COO and launched two successful businesses in less than six years. Vanessa will provide the top tips she’s picked up in corporates, as an entrepreneur and as a network leader on how to become comfortable with raising your profile, including:
- How to stop feeling like an imposter
- Thinking about ”who” your personal brand is
- The Importance of networking
- Speed networking – getting to know your fellow guests
- Optimising your social media profiles for your professional life
- Coach, Mentor, Sponsor – who will help you drive your career
- The importance of giving back
Session 2: Earning your Place at the Table – Making an Impact in Meetings and Note Taking with Dani Littlejohn
- How to prepare for the meeting
- Make a confident first impression
- Get others to listen to your ideas
- Provide effective, efficient notes of the event
Session 3: The Magic Ingredient to Wellbeing with Lorraine Groves
How flexible are you? Before you straighten your legs and bend over to touch your toes, I don’t mean physical flexibility but psychological flexibility. We live in one of the most exciting times in history, with rapidity of change, however this can bring ambiguity, stress, anxiety or confusion. When we lack the skills to be flexible in our approach, or are unwilling to change the things that aren’t working for us, things can seem overwhelming. It is easy to get stuck in place. How we adapt to the demands of life affects our wellbeing.
This session will cover:
- The magic ingredient of psychological flexibility
- How paying attention to the present moment can help you become unstuck
- How to transform your relationship with challenging emotions, thoughts and feelings
- Some (mental) exercises to cultivate psychological flexibility
Session 4: The Magical Spell of NOWww with Lorraine Grove
A spell is a set of words that are spoken or unspoken, which are considered to invoke a magical effect. The magical spell of NOWww is a brief yet highly effective breathing exercise that can be done anywhere, at any time and uses our five senses to bring awareness to the present moment to increase wellbeing. We are already in the Now, but not always aware of being in the Now. Using your breath and your five senses as focus, you can notice how your body feels right now; be open to your current experience (and observe); and be willing to experience everything as it is, to allow your body and brain to come together as a whole, which promotes wellbeing.
N – notice
O – openness (to experience; observe)
W – willing (be willing to experience everything as it is, and accept things as they are, without trying to change them)
w – whole (allow the body and brain to come together as a whole)
w – wellbeing
NOWww, what would your magical spell be to bring awareness to the present moment?
Session 5: Taking the Reins: Game Changing Ways to Manage your Manager
We all have to work with a boss, but sometimes they don’t see things in the quite the same way as us. This session will look at the different ways our brains can look at a problem or situation and how we look to solve it. By using these techniques we can help our boss succeed and feel that we have had a positive influence on the situations.
This will help us ‘Manage our Manager’ for optimum results
The session will cover:
- The way we think and solve problems
- Understanding issues from a different perspective
- Developing techniques to manage upwards
Session 6: Abracadabra : The Magic of Words with Lindsay Taylor
“Words have a power, a magic to them that can transport you to a different place; that can evoke feelings, sounds, movements and images. One word, no matter how many letters it contains, how many syllables or beats there are to it, can hold vast meaning. One word, spoken or heard, can create a wave of implications and consequences. Consequences good or bad. Implications positive or negative. Magic.” Lindsay Taylor
At this interactive session we will explore The Magic of Words. You will learn:
- To appreciate that words mean different things to different people
- How to use sensory rich words to engage your audience
- The benefit of using motivational words to achieve goals and outcomes
- How to “change your label” to promote positive thinking
Session 7: Time and Self Management for the Busy Office Professional with Ian Caldecourt
We all feel stretched and there is always so much to do! Balancing work and life isn’t always easy but essential to succeed in your career. This session will cover how to manage your time, both in and out of work, so you get the most out of your day.
The session will cover:
- Planning your working day
- Maintaining a realistic schedule
- Saying no when it really matters
- Staying positive throughout the day

Culturally, many people are brought up not to “toot your own horns” or “shout about our successes”, but in today’s highly competitive world if you don’t stand out you’re likely to watch those with profile pass you by on their way to the top.
Throughout this interactive and practical session Vanessa will share stories from her career about how she rose from project analyst to COO and launched two successful businesses in less than six years. Vanessa will provide the top tips she’s picked up in corporates, as an entrepreneur and as a network leader on how to become comfortable with raising your profile, including:

- Thinking about ”who” your personal brand is
- The Importance of networking

Session 3: The Magic Ingredient to Wellbeing with Lorraine Groves
How flexible are you? Before you straighten your legs and bend over to touch your toes, I don’t mean physical flexibility but psychological flexibility. We live in one of the most exciting times in history, with rapidity of change, however this can bring ambiguity, stress, anxiety or confusion. When we lack the skills to be flexible in our approach, or are unwilling to change the things that aren’t working for us, things can seem overwhelming. It is easy to get stuck in place. How we adapt to the demands of life affects our wellbeing.
This session will cover:
- The magic ingredient of psychological flexibility
- How paying attention to the present moment can help you become unstuck
- How to transform your relationship with challenging emotions, thoughts and feelings
- Some (mental) exercises to cultivate psychological flexibility
Session 4: The Magical Spell of NOWww with Lorraine Grove
A spell is a set of words that are spoken or unspoken, which are considered to invoke a magical effect. The magical spell of NOWww is a brief yet highly effective breathing exercise that can be done anywhere, at any time and uses our five senses to bring awareness to the present moment to increase wellbeing. We are already in the Now, but not always aware of being in the Now. Using your breath and your five senses as focus, you can notice how your body feels right now; be open to your current experience (and observe); and be willing to experience everything as it is, to allow your body and brain to come together as a whole, which promotes wellbeing.
N – notice
O – openness (to experience; observe)
W – willing (be willing to experience everything as it is, and accept things as they are, without trying to change them)
w – whole (allow the body and brain to come together as a whole)
w – wellbeing
NOWww, what would your magical spell be to bring awareness to the present moment?

Session 6: Abracadabra : The Magic of Words with Lindsay Taylor
“Words have a power, a magic to them that can transport you to a different place; that can evoke feelings, sounds, movements and images. One word, no matter how many letters it contains, how many syllables or beats there are to it, can hold vast meaning. One word, spoken or heard, can create a wave of implications and consequences. Consequences good or bad. Implications positive or negative. Magic.” Lindsay Taylor
