A Pause for Women at a Career Crossroads
A one-day, in-person retreat for professionals who've built a career and want space and support to navigate what’s next.
By the end of The Still Point, you will have:
Clarity on what you want next professionally
Confidence about the direction you're choosing
An actionable plan for your next 90 days
A feeling that you're leading your career with intention, not just responding to what comes
You've worked hard to get here. On paper, it looks good. But something’s shifted.
Underneath the constant motion, questions are getting louder:
Do I want to do this for the next 20 years?
What am I working towards now?
What's actually possible for me from here?
You don't need more ambition or to work harder.
You need clarity about your direction and space to think about your future with support and structure.
Why this moment matters
Over the last 10 years, I've coached hundreds of women who feel uncertain, unsatisfied or stuck in their careers, so I know what you're craving most in this moment.
Feeling this way can foster self-doubt and the nagging sense that you've lost the drive and ambition you used to have.
The truth is this isn't a lack of ambition or capability. It's often a sign of transition.
Standing in that in-between space can feel deeply uncomfortable.
There's pressure to decide. To move. To do something
But this liminal moment often asks for something different first: space to pause, to zoom out, and to get intentional about what’s next.
That's the space I hold at The Still Point.

What The Still Point Offers
In one curated day, you'll move from "I don't know what's next" to clarity about what matters now, a grounded sense of direction, and renewed confidence in how you lead and work.
The Still Point gives you space to:
Step back from constant decision-making and pressure
Make sense of what’s changed, around you and within you
Reconnect with what matters now, not what used to
Leave with clarity you trust, not decisions made under strain
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about creating the conditions for clearer thinking.
The Still Point Is For Women Who Want To:
Get clear on what matters now (not 5 years ago) and what that means for their career
Articulate a vision for their career and make confident decisions about their next move
Create an actionable plan to move forward without the overwhelm
Move from internal uncertainty and unspoken doubts to feeling energised, confident, and in control
Why A Whole Day?
Because this isn't a decision you can rush, figure out in the margins of daily life, or through sheer willpower alone.
You're navigating a transition from one phase of your career to the next, and that requires more than a motivational talk or another "I should be able to sort this out myself" loop.
The Still Point gives you rare, protected time to:
Step away from the daily demands competing for your attention
See your career and your choices with fresh perspective
Reconnect with what matters to you now
Be well supported and leave feeling fully resourced

Meet Your Coach, Caroline Rae
Over the past 10 years, I've coached hundreds of women through career and leadership transitions that looked impossible from the inside. Women who looked successful on paper but felt increasingly misaligned. Women who were capable, ambitious, and accomplished, and also uncertain about what came next.
What I've learned is this: the moments that look like stuckness are often moments of transition. And transition requires something different from what got you here. It requires space to pause, permission to question, and a framework for making sense of what's changed.
I created The Still Point because I kept seeing talented women making rushed decisions under pressure, or staying frozen in indecision too long and seeing their confidence erode. Both stem from the same thing: not enough space to think clearly about what matters now.
My approach combines strategic career planning with the deeper work of clarification, helping you reconnect with what you actually want, not what you think you should want. I bring structure to uncertainty and spaciousness to pressure.
I hold an Postgraduate degree in coaching and a PCC accreditation from the ICF. I’ve worked with clients worldwide from multi-national corporations, FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 to the UK government and tech founders scaling their companies and at the sharp end of leadership.
The breadth of my clients and their industries keep me fresh on the challenges of modern leadership and careers. Insight and learning I bring to The Still Point. But more importantly, I understand what it feels like to stand at a crossroads and not know which way to turn. This retreat is the container I wish I'd had.
