UNpaused

Flexible support for a life stage...

that doesn’t follow a neat schedule

Unpaused has been designed around the reality of maternity leave

— not an ideal version of it.

Some weeks you may feel focused and ready to think about your career.
Some weeks you may not have the energy, time or headspace.
Both are normal.

That’s why Unpaused gives you flexible access to development, reflection and support that can work around your changing needs, rather than expecting you to fit into a fixed training timetable.

1. Start with where you are

You don’t need to have a clear plan before you begin.
You may be preparing to step away from work.
You may already be on maternity leave.
You may be thinking about your return.
You may simply know you don’t want to lose connection with your confidence, identity or future.

Unpaused meets you at that point.

2. Choose the support that fits

You can begin with the free webinar or choose one of the Unpaused packages depending on the level of support you want.

Some women may prefer self-paced online learning.

Others may want guided virtual sessions, coaching, return-to-work support or connection with other women going through the same transition.

There is no one “right” way to do this.
The right level of support is the one that feels useful, realistic and manageable for you.

3. Learn in a way that works around real life

The online learning is available flexibly, so you can access it when you have the time and headspace.

The live sessions are designed to work around KIT days, agreed employer touchpoints or times that fit with your circumstances.

There is no pressure to keep up with a rigid pace.

This is development that can pause with you, move with you and support you when you’re ready to come back to it.

4. Reflect, reconnect and rebuild confidence

Unpaused gives you space to think beyond the practicalities of maternity leave.

You’ll explore your strengths, confidence, career identity, boundaries, communication, priorities and return-to-work needs.

The aim is not to push you back into who you were before.

It is to help you understand who you are now, what matters to you, and how you want to move forward.

5. Return with more clarity and support

When the time comes to reconnect with work, Unpaused helps you prepare for the conversations that matter.

That may include your return-to-work conversation, your development needs, your boundaries, your confidence, your working pattern, your future goals or how you want to re-enter the business.

You don’t have to work all of that out alone.

Designed to be supported by your employer

Unpaused is created for women, but it is designed to be simple for employers to support.

The programme can align with maternity planning, KIT days, return-to-work preparation and ongoing development conversations.

If you want your employer to fund your place, we can provide a clear information pack explaining the options, benefits and practical details.
