Cohort 4 starts September 2024
Many doctors struggle with a lack of knowledge, structure and time when developing a career in industry.
So we designed this innovative flexible program to help you to build it faster and sustainably.
The richest people in the world look for and build networks; everyone else looks for work.
- Move to industry faster
- Get paid 6 figures plus
- Build a sustainable career on your own terms
Growing your career beyond clinical can pave the way for an extraordinary and rewarding alternative career.
However, we see doctors experience the same frustrations time and time again…
- The lack of structure and approach to developing an industry career or business is hugely confusing
- You’re applying for multiple jobs without getting a single interview
- Networking or selling feel like dirty words..
- You want to flexibly work for yourself but not sure how to find clients that will pay
- You think you need to take a massive pay cut to get started in industry
- You’re aware you lack the commercial mindset needed to progress with any industry opportunity
Were any of these problems familiar to you?
What if we told you, the problem wasn’t YOU?
It’s a different playbook from medicine.
You need a completely different skillset & mindset to develop a non-clinical, business or industry career.
Whether you decide to work for yourself or not.
It’s time to re-write your narrative.
We’ve helped doctors who have accessed opportunities with these companies and more..

– Our value beyond traditional medical practice in the world of work is limitless.
If we’re unhappy with what we have today, it’s our responsibility as doctors to change this.
For the benefit of our patients, ourselves, healthcare and the world.
When I first started exploring alternative careers after many years of feeling like I’d made a huge mistake in pursuing medicine; I noticed something.
- Doctors who had left medicine – did so mysteriously in a cloud of taboo.
- Those who ‘succeeded’ in another career, seem to have done this either ‘accidentally’ or without much effort at all.
- Doing another qualification (or 10), seemed to be the thing to do to prove one’s worth in another career. It was hugely costly in time and money – with no guarantees.
- The lack of structure that I was used to, was a huge barrier for my moving forward.
The reality is – as a doctor – moving over to any career beyond conventional medical practice is HARD.
Since (before) we started medical school, we’ve lived and trained in a bubble, designed to keep us working in a certain way in a pretty old institutional fashion.
Our value beyond traditional medical practice in the world of work is limitless.
If we’re unhappy with what we have today, it’s our responsibility as doctors to change this.
For the benefit of our patients, ourselves, healthcare and the world.
So what did help me in my journey?
- A self-designed structure on how to move forward
- Insider information and inspiration from a vast network of doctors who had moved successfully into other career paths
- Coaching and mentorship for my chosen path
- A focused mindset
- Time
With this, I was able to:
- Create a career and lifestyle that directly suited my needs. I am now in full control of my work schedule, earn much more in less time, can take the holidays I want and spend precious time with my family and young children as they grow.
- Gain invaluable insight into how to succeed in changing careers beyond the myth and folklore, by developing a powerful network of doctors with a similar mindset
- Focus on the steps I needed to take to do so, without too much time and money wastage
And most importantly –
Dedicate myself to supporting a global community of talented doctors seeking diverse careers to do the same on their own terms

If you want to take longer to achieve these milestones, you can, however the limit to achieving either is 30 months.
Which sectors do you cater for?
Because the foundational principles are the same and there is lots of overlap, this program is sector agnostic.
We’ve had doctors developing leadership careers in the public sector, starting their own coaching business, opening a new menopause clinic, consulting in Pharma whilst working in the public sector, developing a career in med tech, applying for the Big 3 Consulting firms – and more.
We also have plenty of content geared towards specific specialist interests – particularly Health Tech, Pharma and Consulting.

I've done an MBA. Do I need this program?
We have had doctors with MBAs on this program who joined for the live learnings, high value network and opportunity to really make huge mindset shifts to achieve their goals.
I want to focus on X module first because of my needs. Do I have to wait to access?
You can access any part of the online self-study that you feel is most relevant to you, at any time.
We also use the live sessions to problem solve challenges that are relevant to you NOW.
Beyond this, we have a structured approach for the first 6 months to ensure you have the best foundation to building a career beyond clinical.
This program seems to be for doctors who want to go to industry as solopreneurs or as employees. Why?
The skillset and mindset to do both are very similar with many overlaps.
We also recognise that many doctors do both as part of a portfolio career or as a stepping stone to one full time.
We believe it is essential that all doctors learn what’s required to succeed in both situations so they have flexible choice in how they develop their career over time.
We will have sessions which cater to both groups and sessions for defined interest groups.
