Careershifters レビュー 

I attended a 2 hour workshop with Career Shifters as the first step of evaluating my current career and how to go about understanding how to investigate changing careers. Richard was an excellent facilitator, and talking to others in the group was incredibly helpful - lots of people in the same or very similar position as me, emotionally as well as in terms of employment! The resources shared for the workshop, as well as free resources available on the Career Shifters website are also very informative for people considering a change and set out specific next steps for changing career. I have signed up for the full Launch Pad course following the workshop, and the one-on-one follow up call offered afterwards.

I attended a CareerShifters Career Change Workshop after following this organisation for a while, having read many of their blogs and cohort's experience. The workshop itself did not dissappoint, it was realistic, well facilitated, keeping the small group attending engaged and willing to share their experience and thoughts which really added a lot to the session. The overall approach suggested was realistic, thought provoking and encouraging. They highlighted there were no shortcuts to the right career shift, but it certainly provided a path forward which was a well researched and reasoned approach if you desired that change. This resonated with me and many others on the workshop, and there were many resources and support offered by Career Shifters to encourage you to stay on the journey and reach whatever a shift meant for you. I would highly recommend attending this workshop to see if this approach is right for you. I had read many of their blogs and material but this was a step change in understanding the approach by hearing from their course leaders and other participants.

I would highly recommend Careershifters to anyone seeking clarity and direction in their next career search.

Before attending the workshop I felt completely stuck having spent countless hours scrolling through jobs sites and even asking AI for advice without any real sense of progress. While I had a general idea of the field I wanted to move into, I found myself held back by the fear of making the wrong decision or putting myself at financial risk.

The workshop was a real eye-opener. It has helped explain why those countless hours have led nowhere, and has provided clarity on how to explore and navigate a career change in practical and manageable steps.

Highly recommended! This was an excellent, interactive workshop where the facilitator outlined a clear career-change roadmap and success principles. The breakout sessions were also a great opportunity to share experiences with others in the same boat.

It really helped clarify how to unblock obstacles, be more realistic about timelines, and map out the next steps. If you want to change careers but are struggling with how to start, this is for you.

Richard was positive, friendly and knowledgable about how to support people who are making a career change. It was good to speak to other attendee's who were having a similar experience of trying to clarify what they should do next. It was helpful to see some real life examples of how people have pivoted into other careers and have some actionable steps I can now make to move forward and make progress with the next stage of planning a new career.

Months and months ago, while searching for general career guidance/advice online, I came across the CareerShifters website. They seemed interesting and so I signed up to receive emails and articles.
In my already crowded inbox, I found that their weekly emails kept getting my attention and interest. Their articles were NOT generic advice about optimizing a resume or how to game an interview. What I found is that they were alive with genuine and thought provoking points to consider, the topics seeming to ring true to my own experiences, and it all felt grounded in real actual human behavior. I often found myself realizing, “Oh wow. THAT that makes sense. Never though of it like that.” far too often.
I tend to be tight with my wallet, especially since so many online things can be a con or a scam. So it took me a while to warm up to spending a little money (not much) to do one of their webinars. But I took the plunge, and I, along with a number of other people across the UK and the States all came together to participate in the CareerShifters “How to identify exciting, viable options for your next career” online workshop on March 21, 2026. It was great.
I was blown away by our host’s (Richard) warmth, transparency, friendliness, and knowledge about the topics covered. This webinar discussed the first steps in uncovering what you might like to do next in your career journey. He has clearly tackled these topics with others before, and I found the guidance offered in that 90 minutes to be genuinely priceless. And like the articles before, his approach was very people based, not activity based. What I mean by that is that sometimes we don’t see the obvious that sits right in front of us until it is identified, and then we wonder how we didn’t see it before.
That is the type of value that I think CareerShifters offers, and I think what drives it is a real, genuine desire to help others.
I’m not a “jump into the deep end of the pool” type guy by nature, but I am slowly following the advice that Richard offered in that session. Is it helping? I think so. My next steps in life are becoming a little clearer. I have realized that my career shift is not just a simple math problem where you get an instant answer. It is more like a jigsaw puzzle, where I get a better picture of my own core values and interests the more I put it together. And that, coupled with talking to others to expand my worldview a bit, looking for opportunities in the world that I haven’t seen till now, will hopefully lead me to find something more fulfilling career-wise.
In any event, I will be keeping CareerShifters close by during my journey. They are on to something really helpful.

The Careershifters work shop is a great starting point for anyone looking to change career. I found the online workshop invaluable connecting with others in the same position as myself. I now feel I have a more positive and confident outlook about changing career, and have gained more knowledge how best to go about it. A better understanding how to find the career I want in a more structured and timely manner. The length and time of the workshop was suitable to do out of my normal working hours and was more enjoyable than expected.

Fresh off the Feb-Apr26 LaunchPad alongside Louise B, Louise, Anna, Kim & Suzy—hi folks!—I completely endorse everything they have written about the LaunchPad. What earlier participants have written also chimes with me, and I’m delighted to read that they have completed successful career shifts thanks to the Launch Pad. On top of that, I’d add:
- Launch Pad activities involve time, effort and commitment, it’s true, but they energise you, broaden your horizons, and boost your morale.
- Activities are exquisitely well balanced between outward-facing missions and reflective exercises
- The Launch Pad course runs at a measured, moderate pace, punctuated by weekly calls that are a welcome opportunity to catch up with fellow participants (some of whom you might have worked with in the preceding week) and coaches who are always motivating but never irritating (which is a neat trick to pull off).
- Being part of a mutually supportive community, and a diverse one at that, is genuinely wonderful and very conducive to making progress. (One of my coursemates told me she had come back to do the LaunchPad again, after doing it years beforehand and making a successful career shift shortly afterwards, rather than simply applying on her own what she had learned the first time, in large part because of the mutual learning and support that being in a LaunchPad cohort provides.)
- The LaunchPad teaches you how to go about exploring career possibilities without spending long periods of time or large sums of money. An unexpected benefit for me is that I now become queasy at the thought of, say, devoting weeks to studying for a professional certification that didn’t excite me simply because it might come in handy, or look good on my CV, whereas beforehand I might have seriously contemplated it. “Experiment inexpensively!”
- Careershifters are an organisation that looks out for you. Before admitting you to the LaunchPad, they’ll have a friendly call with you to check that you and they judge that the course is right for you and that it’s a suitable time for you to participate in it. (Another of my coursemates told me she had joined after having previously deferred because, on reflection, it wasn’t the right time then.)
Therefore, I heartily recommend attending Careershifters’ introductory online workshop. It will be a couple of hours and a few pounds very well invested in yourself, your future career, and your ongoing wellbeing.

It has given me a clear tried and tested framework to explore new careers that are more aligned to my core interests and strengths. The coaching is strong, material accessible and actionable, with the added bonus of having the connection with other cohort members which really aided accountability to get stuff done!

I had a fantastic experience on the Careershifters Launch Pad programme. Really helped me think about work in new, creative ways, and I feel much more confident with stepping towards a new direction now.

Richard ran an engaging and valuable workshop about what is needed to change careers. I left the workshop with a much clearer idea of what I needed to do next.

I really enjoyed the career change online workshop. I thought it was really informative . With innovative approaches to finding a job

The Launch Pad experience exceeded my expectations. I feel like my mind was opened to ways of thinking about career/networking that weren't accessible to me before. I recommend to anyone seeking clarity and optimism around their professional future.

I highly recommend Careershifters to anyone who is feeling stuck in their current job and wants to make a change but with no idea how to take that first meaningful step toward something better. Launch Pad helped me see a path to making a change, find fun ways to face my fear of the unknown head-on, and gave me the tools to take the necessary steps to take control of my career path with the support of a fabulous group of like-minded people.

The biggest thing I took away from the Launch Pad experience is that I can do scary things. It has given me a stronger sense of identity, curiosity and confidence about my future career direction - I now have the tools and know-how to try lots of different low stakes ways to test my areas of career interest. Highly recommend. I'm excited to see where I land!

I did the 8-week Launch Pad course in 2022 while on a career break just because it seemed like a good use of my time! I threw myself into it and ended up taking steps I either wouldn't have thought of or which were outside my comfort zone. I wasn't necessarily looking to make a full career change but ended up in a new role and industry within a few months, which was fully down to the course. It was helpful and inspiring working through the course with others in all sorts of roles and hearing about their own career ideas and experiences. Overall it was fun, insightful and brilliant value for money. After the course had finished I had a few one on one coaching sessions with Natasha, which were invaluable in making sense of my thoughts (as the course generated so many ideas and potential options!) and determining my next steps. Many of the concepts and perspectives I gained from the course continue to be relevant to me now - I'd recommend it to anyone feeling stuck or disillusioned in their career.

Clearly a powerful accelerator for deep reflection and meaningful action, helping you reconnect with yourself, the world, and the people around you. Highly recommended for anyone seeking clarity and guidance on their career journey. As always, you get as much value out of it as you choose to put in.

Careershifters has had a transformative and positive impact - both personally and professionally. The structured journey of self discovery and the slow building of confidence and actions to allow the changes to happen made a significant difference. Richard & the group were absolutely critical. A set of slides wouldn’t have led me to the same position. The reflections from others and holding each other to account each week was so important

The workshop was surprisingly liberating. It was great to learn that there are many of us in the same boat, and that our feelings towards our current jobs are not only reasonable, but understandable by others. I would highly recommend this workshop.

I really enjoyed the seminar by Richard Alderson of Careershifters at the Re:Work Live conference. Great food for thought and advice on what to do when contemplating or actioning a career change. Proceed with help from friendly, knowledgable experts on the subject to avoid making mistakes and to streamline the process.
