We've all been there in our careers. 

That sense of stagnation, frustration, and self-doubt.

The wondering 'is this really it?'

You’re definitely not lazy. You’re certainly not lost. You just feel stuck. 

Heavy with routine. Hardened by years of overwork. Set solid by habit, fear, and sticking with what you know. And the question nobody really wants to ask out loud: "what comes next?"

We call this Concrete Shoes Syndrome. 

That feeling you're set into a job, a role, or a career path, and no matter what you do, the weight will always pull you down.

That's why we launched the Next Steps Institute. 

Our mission is to unlock the potential of skilled professionals by helping you confidently transition into high-value, fulfilling careers.
 

We exist to show you: you’re not stuck, your skills are crucial, and your next step could be your best yet.

Because early careers and graduate schemes were never meant to be a pigeon-hole.

And your skillset? It's transferable.

Are you wearing concrete shoes? We help professionals who feel stuck to :

• Uncover new career paths that value your existing strengths
• Retrain with purpose and direction
• Build confidence that’s been buried under burnout
• Join a community of professionals also making bold, smart moves

This isn’t about starting again.

It’s about evolving and making the best of the talents you've worked so hard to develop.

So kick off your concrete shoes and join the movement today.

Your next step could be your best yet.
