Designing a Career on Your Terms: Thursday 22 January, Central London

Careers don’t always follow a neat, linear path. And for many of us, the “rules” were never designed with us in mind. That’s why we’re opening the year with Designing a Career on Your Terms.

This event is about stepping back, gaining clarity, and learning from people who’ve navigated complexity, challenge and change to shape careers that genuinely work for them.

To guide the conversation, 


Advita Patel, co-founder of the Asian Comms Network and Confidence and Influence Coach, will be joined by an expert panel bringing insight from across coaching, talent and leadership:


  • Padma Knowles, ACN Career Coach, recruitment and talent expert
  • Daniel Wong-Chi-Man, Global Service Line Leader for Audience Measurement at Ipsos
  • Seri Davis, Head of Emerging Talent at Ithaca


Together, the panel will share honest insights on pivotal career decisions, redefining success, and building confidence, visibility and influence along the way. Expect real stories, thoughtful reflection and practical advice you can apply straight away.

If you’re feeling at a crossroads, questioning what’s next, or simply ready to be more intentional about your career, we’d love you to join us.
