“I had 25 years of experience but I still didn’t believe in myself.”

When Jae started looking for work, her biggest challenge wasn’t her CV, it wasn’t her skills, it wasn’t her experience - it was confidence.

After more than 25 years in administration, including senior roles within a leading university, Jae found herself questioning her value and wondering if she’d ever find a role that worked around family life.

Sound familiar?

Through our Back to Work, Digital Skills and Confidence course, Jae rebuilt her confidence, refreshed her skills and started seeing herself differently.

Then she applied for a role she might once have talked herself out of - and she got it! 🙌

Today, she’s thriving in a flexible role in education that fits around her family and has rediscovered her belief in what’s possible.

“The training has shown me that I am capable of far more than I had given myself credit for.”

If you’ve been doubting yourself, Jae’s story shows that sometimes the biggest thing standing between where you are and where you want to be is recognising your own potential.

Dee is back with Week 7 of our Supporting Autism in Education course 🙌

Today the group has been discussing some of the differences in how autism can present in boys and girls, and why it may not always be recognised or picked up as quickly.

There have been some really thoughtful conversations happening in the breakout rooms, with learners sharing experiences, ideas and reflections throughout the session.

A brilliant morning of learning and discussion once again 👏

If you’d like to find out more about the course, please get in touch👇

🏆 Learner of the Month - Maria!

“My most significant learning experience has been learning to believe in myself again.”

This month, we’re celebrating Maria, an incredible learner whose journey reminds us that learning is about so much more than gaining new skills.

Her advice to other learners?

☑️Don’t underestimate yourself.
☑️ Keep trying, even when you feel nervous.
☑️ Progress happens little by little.

We’re so proud of everything Maria has achieved and can’t wait to see what comes next.

We’re excited to welcome new learners onto our Back to Work & Confidence, Coaching & Mentoring, Business Start-Up and Supporting Autism in Education courses this week 🎓

NEST will be joining our Supporting Autism in Education group to discuss SEND careers in schools and the wide range of opportunities available.

We’re also delighted that some of our mums are gaining valuable work experience at Harris Primary Academy Kent House, helping them build confidence and take their next steps towards employment.

Jane will be going live with Donna May to talk about The Third Chapter event and she’ll also be attending a meeting at the House of Commons with the 5% Club, supporting conversations around employment and opportunities for all.

Here’s to a fab week of building confidence, creating opportunities and supporting mums to find a job they love 🙌

12 Years of Successful Mums 🎉

Our final birthday wishes in this special series come from the wonderful Regan 🥰

Regan has been part of the Successful Mums journey right from the very beginning, joining one of our very first business courses 12 years ago 🙌

One thing that always stayed with her was Jane’s advice to write down your goals , something Regan took to heart and carried with her on her journey.

Today, Regan is living on the Kent coast and taking her business in an exciting new direction, proving just how powerful those first small steps, big dreams and self belief can be 👏

As we finish this birthday wishes series, stories like Regan’s perfectly capture what Successful Mums has always been about, helping women believe in themselves, grow in confidence and create lives and careers that work for them.

Thank you Regan and to our 11 other learners for your lovely messages 🫶

As we head towards the end of our birthday month, we’re sharing lovely wishes from Emily at It Takes a Village 👏

Emily joined our Enterprise course with lots of ideas and passion but needing the confidence and practical advice to help turn those ideas into reality 🙌

It’s been amazing to watch her journey since then and even more special as It Takes a Village is now celebrating its own 5th birthday too 🎉

We love seeing women grow businesses, communities and opportunities from those very first steps of self belief.

Thank you Emily for your lovely message and continued support - and a huge happy 5th birthday to It Takes a Village from all of us at Successful Mums 🫶

So many women dismiss coaching as a career option because of misconceptions like these 👇

1️⃣ ‘You need to have all the answers.’
Coaching is actually about helping people find their own answers through support, listening and guidance.

2️⃣ ‘You need years of experience to get started.’
Many great coaches begin with skills they already use every day - empathy, communication and encouragement.

3️⃣ ‘Coaching is only for corporate executives.’
Coaching and mentoring can lead to meaningful opportunities in education, wellbeing, SEN support, careers guidance and so much more.

You may already have the qualities needed to become a brilliant coach - you just haven’t recognised them yet.

Drop us a comment and we’ll send you more info on how we can support you taking those first steps!

12 Years of Successful Mums 🎉

Our wonderful wishes come from lovely Emmaline, who first joined Successful Mums to update her digital skills, something she says gave her a real boost in confidence 🙌

She felt supported by the team, connected with amazing like minded mums and found the encouragement she needed to take the next steps in her career.

Since then, Emmaline has expanded her current role and gone on to gain further qualifications to become a Forest School Leader 👏

We absolutely love hearing stories like this, where one course can spark new confidence, new friendships and exciting new opportunities.

Thank you Emmaline for your lovely birthday wishes and for sharing your journey with us 🫶
