Transform daily chaos into calm confidence using proven psychological techniques from space exploration and polar expeditions. Master leadership, stress management and team culture while balancing work, life and personal growth.
The Mid-Career Challenge
Mid-career is tough. You’re a leader at work and a manager at home.
You’re experienced and in demand, but the pressure is relentless:
- Endless responsibilities.
- No time to upskill.
- Juggling professional fulfillment with personal priorities.
You are the proverbial swan. Graceful on the surface. Paddling furiously underwater.
This is your chance to break the cycle.
If you don’t master these things at this critical time in your career then burnout becomes a real risk, career progression stalls, and you might find yourself stuck in a cycle of reactive management rather than strategic leadership.
Your potential for greater impact – and the rewards that come with it – remains untapped, while younger colleagues with the latest skills start to pass you by.
The Mid-Career Launchpad: Elite training for everyday professionals
What if you had the skills and support to step into greater responsibility, without burning out?
The Mid-Career Launchpad is a transformative 12-month journey designed specifically for professionals like you. It provides the skills everyone needs in mid-career, but no-one teaches. You’ll:
- Build essential leadership skills, so you can influence with confidence and take on more complex responsibilities at work.
- Learn effective stress-management and self-management skills, so you can manage workload and stress levels effectively, and make confident decisions about your personal priorities.
- Gain tools to create a thriving team culture, so you can create a happier, healthier workplace that you and your colleagues love to work in.
- Join a powerful network of ambitious peers so you can accelerate your growth and expand your career opportunities.
"The Launchpad programme is thoughtfully designed for busy professionals, with flexible sessions and ongoing support that make it easy to stay engaged without overwhelming your schedule. Susan shows unwavering commitment to supporting our development. She brings a calm, grounded presence to every session and draws upon her own wealth of experience in a way which feels both relevant and personal. Her ability to offer tailored, actionable advice has made a real impact on how I approach my role and I can already see how the skills and insights gained will benefit not just me personally, but also my wider team and organisation - Marie"
Why this programme?
Most training programmes are generic, one-size-fits-all, or too time-intensive. The Mid-Career Launchpad is different:
- Tailored to the challenges of mid-career professionals.
- Focused on skills you can’t learn in one-off courses.
- Designed for busy individuals with limited time.
If you’d like training from a credible professional and leader in this field to give you the skills to navigate this critical time in your career then join us.
Your transformation starts here.

About Susan
👋 Hi, I’m Susan,
I’m a professional psychologist. I’ve spent my life teaching these skills and I’ve taught the best. Astronauts. Antarctic Explorers. Ground Control crews. I specialise in teaching mental performance skills to people who really need them to work.
I’m also just like you. Over the years I’ve taken on more and more responsibility, inside and outside work. I’ve become a manager. A leader. A parent. I’ve experienced that gradual increasing weight of responsibility. The priorities pulling you in every direction. I really know what it’s like.
That’s why I created this programme. The skills I teach elite professionals are the same ones I think everyone should have. We’re all looking to be more productive. To feel more comfortable with the chaos. To feel less pressure. That’s what mental performance training helps with.
But it can be hard to know what’s actually effective. You can read a hundred books and watch a thousand YouTube videos, but nothing compares to being taught what works by someone who can tailor the right training to your own circumstances.
That’s what I’m here for.
"Susan has an empathetic and collaborative approach that drives meaningful results."
