This week's Top 10 Opportunities

Issue 760, Sun 15 September, 2024

Happy Monday Escapees!


First things first, we're here to share that applications for the Career Change Accelerator Programme close at midnight tonight :alarm_clock:This is the last chance to join us this in 2024, so don't miss out!


Now, let’s talk about running—whether you're a marathoner, a casual jogger, or someone who only runs if they’re being chased, you probably get that everything worth achieving requires a process. You don’t just wake up one day and decide to run 26 miles without any prep (and if you do, we’ll send you ice packs). It takes training, pacing, and showing up day after day—even when you’d rather stay tucked in bed when the alarm goes off. In short, it takes a plan.


The same goes for making a meaningful change in your career.If you're hoping to cross the finish line into a career that actually excites you, here’s the uncomfortable truth: there’s no magical shortcut. Just like you can’t skip the training plan for a marathon, you can’t skip the steps to build a career that makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning (okay, maybe not jump, but at least not hit snooze five times).The good news? We’ve got your training plan. It’s called the Career Change Accelerator Programme and it kicks off for 8 weeks from 2nd October. It’s the kind of training that helps you rediscover your strengths, build momentum, and set yourself up for success—without burning out halfway through the race.


Just like marathon training, the Career Change Accelerator isn’t a quick fix or hack. It’s a proven process designed to help you build the confidence, clarity, and momentum you need to make a real change.


But here’s the thing: you need to act NOW. Just like skipping that crucial training run could mess with your marathon, letting today pass without applying means you'll miss the last opportunity to move from dreaming to doing in the final cohort of 2024.


No shortcuts, no waiting for the perfect moment. The finish line is in sight—are you ready to get moving? Applications close TODAY, so don’t miss out. Find out more and apply now to secure your spot.


Let’s get you to the finish line of a career that actually excites you!


Happy Escaping!
