Back to Work - 3 Week Course
I am 2 weeks into the Successful Mums 'Back to Work Course' and have also attended the 90 minutes 'Find a Job you Love Taster session'. Both were provided in very different settings but both were attended by like minded, very capable women - definitely a huge talent pool. I found Jane very professional, and her courses well thought out and full of useful information about where to find flexible/part time jobs, CV writing and interview tips. Most importantly, I found Jane a motivational speaker, who has inspired me to value my experience as a professional, but also as a parent and to dig deep, and try to find not just a job, but The Job. Looking forward to my 1-to-1 with Jane.

Find a job you love taster session
Very inspirational 90 min session where Jane gave a lot of useful information about going back to work, from writing a CV and what transferable skills parents have that employers are looking for, to where part time, flexible working jobs are advertised. I would totally recommend attending if you need some advice and gentle guidance where to start. Jane is friendly and approachable and puts you and the whole room at ease very quickly.
Thank you Jane Knight and @successfulmums.

Business Start-up Taster Session
I'm not a mum but I went along to the Taster session on Monday 7 November and came away with ideas buzzing around my head. Jane's presentation was informal, fun and informative. The interaction with the other attendees was great and it was good to know the worries and challenges that I have are shared by many others. I fully recommend this session for anyone thinking about starting their own business.

Thank you Jane, Orpington 1st and the wonderful guest speakers for your support.

Great ideas from attending Workshop
I attended Jane's workshop and at the time i felt very anxious and did not know what to expect but i felt at ease throughout and could approach the ladies that were present at the time as well as Jane.Everybody was lovely.
Jane helped me further my career based on the day of the workshop asking me lots of questions and to have the knowledge and understanding of how to relate back.Jane is a great person,lovely and very helpful,she can make all the mum's feel happy in themselves and by giving them a positive attitude of which path they should take..Jane emailed me a draft copy of a CV which i then related to and worded everything the way it should be worded and since then i have been getting phone calls with regards to attending interviews.Since i found a job that was suitable for me i now have a permanent job thanks to the help from Jane...I definitely recommend all mum's to attend Jane's workshop..thank you Jane for your help keep up the good work....

Full of ideas for new possibilities
I attended a free taster session entitled "Find your flexible career first steps workshop".
Jane is very motivational and inspiring and encourages her clients to think in different ways and engage new possibilities for the future. She was able to provide us with plenty of contact details for specialist agencies to help in our search for part time and flexible recruitment , which is really helpful too. It was also very beneficial to meet with other like minded mums who are up against the same issues in searching for jobs which fit with family life after a period of leave from paid employment.
Thanks so much Jane ! I am feeling very positive about my next steps !

Great support
Jane is engaging, inspiring and extremely supportive. She is very approachable and personable and has an ability to put a room full of strangers instantly at ease. The Business Start-Ups workshop is a fantastic spring-board to taking that first step into doing something for yourself. It not only offers advice and information but also is an excellent brain storming opportunity and provides a great support network post-workshop. For any mum who is looking for a career change and thinking of starting out on their own this workshop and Jane's other courses are extremely beneficial.
