No matter how much you want to make changes to your career at midlife, sometimes it can be
more
This online ‘reboot cafe’ is a brand new format which gives you the opportunity to bring your career reboot challenges (even your thorniest ones!) along, and get fresh perspectives, insights and solutions.
You can bring any type of challenge to the cafe – as long as it’s related to reinvigorating or reinventing your career at midlife. For instance you may be wondering how to get clearer on what you want to do in your next phase, you may be concerned about how a transition period might affect your finances, you may lack confidence or be procrastinating. Different parts of you may be ‘at war’; part of you craving new adventures and part of you not wanting to risk you comfort and security, or you may want to explore your hopes and fears around making a change… or perhaps it’s something else for you? You can bring whatever is live for you right now.
The group will be limited to 8 participants, and the time will be shared equally between everyone’s challenges. (If you don’t have a particular challenge but would just like to experience the support of being at the reboot cafe – that’s OK too). Everyone will be asked to commit to keeping the content of this session confidential.
You will receive help on your specific challenge. Depending on the nature of that challenge you will either be helped to come up with new solutions yourself (facilitated help). Or you will receive specific references, resources or information to tap into (directive help). These might include tools, techniques, models and data sources.
Whatever your challenge you’ll be in a non-judgmental, accepting space.
You’ll be in the company of like-minded professionals who have the accumulated wisdom and insights of their professional work experience. Which will likely also help you to feel supported.
• A safe supportive space to share what’s holding you back from rebooting your career, and where you can also open your mind and explore options freely, with no pressure to consider bigger changes than you want. You’ll feel heard, and no longer alone with your uncertainty or indecision.
• You’ll receive appropriate support depending on the issue, which might include; help to solve the challenge, fresh perspectives on it, insights and signposting to resources. This will save you the time of looking for sources of help yourself, and from wrestling further with the challenge.
• Facilitated group exercises – where they are relevant to a challenge – so that you can reframe your challenge, gain new insight and practise new attitudes and behaviours that will build your motivation and self-belief and help you on your journey.
• Help to tap into more of your personal resources including your creative thinking. You’ll increase your confidence, gain insight and develop more options.
• Opportunity to hear from others facing reboot challenges, you’ll likely feel connected to others who are making changes, which can increase your motivation and energy levels.
• You’ll get fresh ideas to free you from ‘stuck’ and get moving forward again towards that more fulfilling role, those increased rewards for your skills, that more flexible work… or whatever it is YOU want to achieve through making changes to your career.
Career Reinventors 40+ helps midlife professionals to reinvigorate or reinvent their careers to find more meaningful satisfying and rewarding work.
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.”

100 years ago, a majority of women in Britain won the Vote. Who was responsible – the government or the people? Was it the victory of a united or a divided movement? What forms did the struggle take? Did men play a role too? What happened after 1918? Who continued the struggle for full equality?
Through an interactive classroom session followed by a guided walk, David Rosenberg explores the complex and conflicted history of women’s battle for equality and political rights, how it was connected to the wider struggle to advance democracy, the birth of feminism, and women’s fights for equality and dignity in the workplace
David Rosenberg is an educator, writer, teacher trainer and tour guide. He taught in an inner London primary school for 22 years, and in recent years has taught adults through Conway Hall, City Lit and the Bishopsgate institute, and organised day events on historical themes at the London Metropolitan Archives. He has led guided walks on London radical history since 2007.

W London & Female Narratives present WHAT SHE SAID with an incredible panel of bold and inspiring women.
GIRL TECH: Women Shaping The Future For Women
Technology is the future – we’re slowly coming to grips with that fact, but when coders are 88% male and women own only 5% of start-ups and make up only 7% of the partners at the top 100 venture capital firms, what does this mean for women’s future?
For technology to effectively assist and represent the population as a whole, the boardrooms and work forces must reflect the population as a whole too.
To celebrate London’s many Tech festivals this month, we bring you insightful and game-changing conversation between some of the world’s leading women in tech, who are using their platforms to create a better and more connected future for women all over the world.
From the future of Fem Tech, dating apps, coding, hiring with diversity in mind and using tech for philanthropy, these women are shaping all our futures.
A CONVERSATION WITH:
AMANDA BONNIER – Brand Manager of Natural Cycles: the only certified contraceptive app
LOUISE ALEXANDRA TROEN – Global Brand Director for Bumble: women making the first move for dating, friendship and business
ANISAH OSMAN BRITTON – Founder of 23 Code Street: a coding school for all women which, for every paying student in the UK, teaches a woman in the slums of India

Recently in the media, there has been a lot of negativity and distrust surrounding marketing and tech. From the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal to the mass GDPR emails and privacy policies flooding into consumers’ inboxes- it’s been a pretty bleak time for both industries.
We’re here to shine the light on the positive.
As we’ve seen with the creation of ‘MarTech’, Marketing and Tech are two powerful industries which are continuously working closer and closer together to not only drive results and improve companies’ performance, but also the world we live in.
We’ve gathered a panel of marketing and tech experts from various industries who between them are leading marketing campaigns and building innovative products, which are not only proving very successful but are also helping tackle important global problems. Here are some of the topics you’ll learn about:
This event is for anyone who is interested – you don’t necessarily have to work in marketing or tech.
A light breakfast will be provided.
Tickets will cover the cost of breakfast. Any profits will be donated to Bloody Good Period.

This IS FOR YOU if: you are an ambitious, intelligent woman, wanting to move forward, to take action, want to do something for yourself. This is NOT for you if you want to lie on the couch to complain and moan and if you’re so broke that investing even a small amount in your career development would put a serious strain on your finances.

Your change of heart about your career may be driven by external factors; a new boss, a missed promotion or changes in your organisation. Or it may be driven by changes in YOU; longing for something new, for better pay, to work with new people on new projects, or because you need flexibility to handle caring or other responsibilities. Either way, this session will give you space to start to reflect on your career, to open up to career change or career development, realise that your feelings are valid and that there are ways forward to career fulfilment and career happiness again.
What’s more, by reinvigorating or reinventing your career at midlife you may be surprised to uncover brand new opportunities to increase your earnings by identifying new more lucrative markets for your professional skills. Or you may discover that you’ll be able to maintain your earning power for longer – up to and (beyond) retirement even – through finding work that motivates and inspires you so much that you just want to keep on doing it!
And if the prospect of career change feels daunting, don’t worry. This meeting will provide you with a safe space to explore career options; with no pressure to consider bigger career changes than you feel ready for. You’ll gain confidence through hearing inspiring career stories of others who’ve stood in your shoes and made career choices that were right for them. You’ll come away reinvigorated by how many new career possibilities there are at midlife.

2017 WAS RECORD BREAKING.
With a female prime minister, 32% female MPs and 26% female peers, parliament looks is more gender balanced than ever.
But it’s not enough.
We demand better. A lot better.
Shout Out UK invite 80 – 100 young women and girls to a hackathon in Parliament, in which we will aim to tackle the issue of representation in politics and what we can do to change it.In honour of 100 years since SOME women got the vote, we will look at representation not only of women but of BAME people, disabled people and LGBTQ people, and how these characteristics intersect.We will be joined by some of the most inspirational women UK politics has to offer – including Jen Davis, 27, who works for Labour MP Eleanor Smith, and Azzees Minott, 25-year-old Green Party member who stood in the last general election and is standing in this year’s council election – who will give us an insight into the world of politics for young, BAME women and answer any questions you may have.The main focus of the event will be on YOUR ideas. You will work in groups to think of creative ideas for how the representation of women in politics can be improved. From apps to campaigns to curriculum change, the power is in your hands. The group who devises the best – most creative and viable – idea will receive a prize and the opportunity to work with Shout Out UK beyond the event to implement their idea.
Join us on 5th July 2018.
It’s time to hear from the younger generations on how we can better involve all groups of society in making the decisions for our country.
Speakers
Jen Davis works for Labour MP Eleanor Smith and is a GMB Workplace Organiser. She is committed to increasing representation of BAME people in politics and empowering young people to achieve their goals.

Career Reinventors 40+ helps midlife professionals to reinvigorate or reinvent their careers to find more meaningful satisfying and rewarding work.
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.”

We’re winding back the clock to the turn of the twentieth century. Join us on a march through central London and help us campaign for the right for women to vote. Along the way you’ll meet some of the characters who played a part in this struggle and some of the characters who tried to stop them. They’ll let you know the lengths they are willing to go to to achieve their aims and they’ll take you to the places that are so important in the fight.
This is a theatrical tour devised by three Blue Badge guides with a background in the theatre and an obvious interest in women’s history. It’s not an ordinary tour but don’t worry… no bras will be burnt and there will be no awkward audience participation!
