You are returning after a break. The market has already moved.

You have been out — maternity, health, caring responsibilities, burnout, or something else entirely. You are ready to go back but the market feels different, your confidence is not quite where it was, and you are not sure how to talk about the gap or position yourself for what you actually want next.

The risk is not the gap. It is underestimating how much the narrative matters.

What's at stake?

How you re-enter shapes what you are offered. People who return without a clear narrative tend to take the first thing that appears rather than the right thing. The gap becomes the story by default if you do not give people a better one.

At senior levels the market moves quickly and relationships go cold. The window between deciding to return and actually being considered for the right roles is shorter than most people expect.

How we work through this?

We build your re-entry narrative, work out what you are targeting and why, and make sure you are positioned for what you actually want rather than what is easiest to explain. You leave with a clear story and a plan for how to re-enter on your terms.

You go back with confidence, clarity, and a narrative that works for you.
