Design Your 2026: A curious look back, a courageous step forward

The end of the year can feel like a blur of lists, deadlines, and half-finished plans.
This workshop is your permission to pause.

Join Escape the City for a two-hour online workshop designed to help you look back on 2025 through the lens of curiosity - not judgment - and use what you learn to design a more intentional, energising 2026.

We’ll explore what gave you energy this year (and what quietly drained it), what experiments you tried, and what patterns are ready to shift. Using tools and principles from our Career Change Accelerator, you’ll be guided through practical reflection exercises, life-design frameworks, and creative prompts that help you make sense of where you’ve been and where you might want to head next.

You’ll leave with:

• A deeper understanding of what’s really driving your choices and motivation
• A simple, human way to plan your next chapter, without the pressure of big goals
• One or two small, real-world experiments to test new directions in 2026
• A renewed sense of perspective and calm before the year turns

This isn’t about resolutions or five-year plans. It’s about noticing, learning, and choosing, with more self-trust and less noise.

Who is Escape The City?

We’re on a mission to help one million people to do work that matters to them and the world. Not just to find more fulfilling work but create it too. Online and offline we’ve seen first hand the incredible power in connecting likeminded, motivated, passionate people.

Whether it’s a small step or a brave leap, we’ve learned that amazing outcomes and inspiring change is best achieved together.

We want to wake people up to what work can really look like. To careers built on freedom, passion, autonomy, fulfilment, and purpose. To more connected and more meaningful lives. To 21st Century Careers, built on their terms, not someone else’s.

We’re doing it because we believe a million more people doing work that matters to them will change the world.
