If this sounds familiar

You have done everything right. So why does the next move still feel out of reach?

You have built experience, expertise and a reputation for delivering. Yet the recognition, opportunity or direction you expected has not quite followed.

  • You know you are capable of more, but are not clear how to make your next move.
  • You missed a promotion or opportunity and do not know what needs to change.
  • You are trusted to deliver, yet do not feel visible or seen as ready for the next level.
  • You have been so busy working that you have not had space to think strategically about your own career.
  • You are tired of over-delivery, perfectionism or always being the dependable one.
  • You want a bigger role, a different direction or more flexibility, but not at any cost.

Your next move should not depend on working harder, waiting longer or hoping the right person finally notices.

What will be different

From carrying it all in your head to knowing what to do next.

This is a structured, live process that helps you see where you are, decide what matters now and move forward with greater clarity.

From capable but unclear, overlooked or overextended to clearer, more intentional and ready to act.

See how the six weeks work
  • Clarity about what you want next, and what success needs to mean now
  • An honest view of what is helping and hindering your progress
  • Language for the value, judgement and impact you already bring
  • A clearer way to be visible without becoming performative
  • The relationships and conversations that can support your next move
  • A career strategy that takes energy, boundaries and sustainability seriously
  • A focused 90-day strategy, with one meaningful action already under way

About me

Alicia Noble

I created Career Wealth because I know what it is to build a career through hard work, capability and momentum, and still realise that effort alone is not a strategy.

Many highly capable women have built more value than they know how to name or use. They may have deep experience, expertise and resilience, yet still feel held back by unclear direction, limited visibility, the wrong relationships or an unsustainable way of working.

My work combines strategic career thinking with the space to reflect honestly, challenge old assumptions and take courageous action. I bring more than two decades of experience across Finance, Risk, Audit and Learning & Development, alongside executive coaching and career-transition practice.

  • ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
  • More than 20 years’ corporate experience across Finance, Risk, Audit and Learning & Development

In their words

What one-to-one clients say about working with me.

I was sceptical about coaching. But Alicia’s probing questions uncovered ideas and ambitions I didn’t realise were buried so deeply. After just five sessions, I have a new direction, renewed purpose, and genuine re-engagement in my career. The hard work is still mine, but I finally have clarity about the future I want.
Regional Financial Controller
Alicia understands the world I operate in and asks the questions others won’t. She helped me think strategically about where I was heading while staying honest about what mattered to me beyond the role, and I came away with a clearer plan and a far better balance between my professional and personal priorities.
Head of Enterprise Risk
Alicia created a space that felt safe, constructive and genuinely supportive. She’s helped me reframe situations I once saw as criticism into opportunities for clarity. I’ve learned to celebrate my own strengths without waiting for external validation.

What is Career Wealth?

You were taught to build a career.
Not necessarily to build one on your own terms.

Many of us grew up believing that a successful career followed a familiar path: work hard, prove yourself, move up and keep going.

For a while, that ladder made sense. But work has changed, and so may the life, ambition and definition of success you had when you first started climbing it.

The next step may no longer look the same. You may not want it in the same way. Or you may simply be unsure what you want now.

Your career is not just something you progress through. It is something you build, protect and rebalance over time.

Career Wealth is not a title, salary or linear climb.

It is the value, resilience and choice you build when your work is aligned with who you are, makes use of your capability, is recognised by the right people, supported by strong relationships and sustainable for the life you want.

It helps experienced professional women turn the careers they have built into greater choice, influence, security and sustainability.

The five dimensions of Career Wealth

Your next move needs more than a plan.

A clear strategy matters. But before you can decide what to do next, you need to understand what success means to you now, recognise the value you bring and be ready to act on it.

01

Alignment

Define what success means to you now, not what it meant at 21, or what the external world says it should be.

Do I know what I want next, why I want it and what I am no longer willing to trade away?

02

Capability

Recognise the value you bring and decide what experience, skills or perspective you need next.

Can I clearly articulate my strengths, experience and future value?

03

Credibility

Make your contribution visible, understood and trusted by the people who shape opportunity.

Do the right people understand the impact I create and see me as ready?

04

Relationships

Build the sponsors, advocates, peers and connectors your next move requires.

Do I have the right people around me for where I want to go?

05

Sustainability

Build ambition that protects your energy, wellbeing, financial security and capacity for choice.

Is the way I am working sustainable for the career and life I want?

When one area is underdeveloped, it can limit what all the others make possible.

The journey

Six weeks to step back, get clear and move forward with intention.

This is a live, facilitated Circle, not another course to complete and forget.

Across six weeks, you will create protected space to reflect, be challenged and turn insight into practical action.

You will leave with a 90-day strategy, supported implementation, one confidential coaching session and a live Implementation Circle.

  1. Week 1The whole picture

    Step back: see the whole picture

    Take stock of where you are, what has shaped your career and the question you are really trying to answer.

    Identify the patterns and old success scripts that may still be influencing your next move.

    You leave with

    • Career Wealth baseline
    • Your next-move question
    • Peer connection
  2. Week 2Alignment

    Define success for this chapter

    Clarify what success means to you now, not what it meant when you first started out.

    Consider your direction, values, energy, ambition, trade-offs and the conditions your next move needs to meet.

    You leave with

    • Career decision criteria
    • Non-negotiables and trade-offs
    • Energy-aware ambition
  3. Week 3Capability

    See your value, and name the gaps

    Recognise the experience, judgement and strengths you have already built. Then identify the few gaps that genuinely matter for where you want to go.

    This is not about finding more reasons to improve yourself. It is about knowing what to deepen, build, translate, stop undervaluing or stop doing.

    You leave with

    • Capability and value map
    • Evidence bank
    • Focused development priorities
  4. Week 4Credibility and relationships

    Be known for the right things

    Clarify what you want to be known for, make your contribution easier to understand and build visibility without becoming performative.

    Map the stakeholders, sponsors, advocates and conversations that can support your next move.

    You leave with

    • Professional value narrative
    • Personal brand foundation
    • Stakeholder and relationship map
  5. Week 5Sustainability

    Create the conditions for sustainable ambition

    A career path is not a good strategy if it leaves you depleted, overextended or without real choice.

    Look honestly at energy, workload, boundaries, career risk and the practical conditions that make ambition sustainable.

    You leave with

    • Sustainability conditions
    • Career-risk reflection
    • Boundary or work-design experiment
  6. Week 6Your strategy

    From insight to movement

    Turn your learning into a focused 90-day strategy.

    Choose the actions, relationships, experiments and conversations that move you forward, and plan for the obstacles that may get in the way.

    You leave with

    • 90-day strategy
    • Career experiment
    • Obstacles-and-responses plan

Putting it into practice

The Circle does not end when the live sessions do.

Then comes the part that matters: using your 90-day strategy in the real world.

For approximately 30 to 45 days, you will have light, structured support to take your first actions, learn from what happens and keep moving forward.

01

Apply

Take the conversation, boundary, visibility action or career experiment into real life.

02

Reflect

Use prompts, practical tools and peer accountability to notice what is working, what is difficult and what needs to change.

03

Reconnect

Return for a live Implementation Circle in late January, on a date confirmed before the programme begins.

This is not about getting everything done in 30 days. It is about beginning to act differently, and learning from the action.

What is included

Everything you need to turn reflection into action.

01

Six live Circles

Six 90-minute online sessions combining focused teaching, journaling, group coaching, peer discussion and practical action.

02

Your Working Guide

A digital guide to capture your reflections, evidence, relationships, strategy and progress.

03

Private programme hub

Simple templates, prompts and selected short resources that support the live work, without becoming another course to keep up with.

04

Peer accountability

A structured peer connection to help you say what you want, take action and stay connected to your commitments.

05

One-to-one coaching

One included 60-minute confidential session for the career question, decision or conversation that needs individual attention.

06

Implementation Circle

A live follow-up session to review progress, troubleshoot obstacles and decide what comes next.

This is not a promise of promotion. It is structured support to help you become clearer, more intentional and better positioned for the opportunities you want.

Designed for a demanding career

This should create space in your career, not become another thing to manage.

6
live weekly Circles
90
minutes each
45 to 60
minutes between sessions

Each live Circle lasts 90 minutes. Allow approximately 45 to 60 minutes between sessions for reflection and one practical action.

This is designed for demanding professional lives. You will not be asked to complete hours of video content or add a long list of tasks to an already full week.

Instead, you will create protected space for the career you are already building.

The six live Circles run on Fridays from 6 November to 11 December 2026, 11:30am to 1:00pm UK time, so you finish before the end of the year and begin the new one with your strategy already in motion. The live Implementation Circle will take place in late January, with the exact date confirmed before the programme begins.

Who this is for

Built for women who are ready to become more intentional about what comes next.

This Circle is likely a good fit if

  • You are an experienced professional woman, particularly in Finance, Risk, Audit or professional services
  • You know you are capable of more and want a clearer way forward
  • You are considering progression, a broader remit, a pivot or a more sustainable way of working
  • You feel underused, overlooked or tired of relying on hard work alone
  • You want to be more visible and influential without becoming inauthentic
  • You are willing to reflect honestly, have meaningful conversations and take practical action
  • You value a thoughtful, ambitious and supportive peer group

This Circle may not be the right fit if

  • You want a quick-fix job-search service, CV rewrite or interview-preparation programme
  • You are looking for therapy or clinical mental-health support
  • You want someone else to decide what you should do with your career
  • You cannot make space for the live sessions and a small amount of reflection and practical action between them
You do not need a perfect plan before you begin. You need enough clarity to take the next well-chosen step.

The Founding Circle

A founding group for women ready to move differently.

This is the first live Circle. I am inviting a small group of women to join at a founding-member investment.

You will receive the complete programme, live facilitation, practical tools, one-to-one coaching and a carefully designed peer experience. In return, I ask for your full participation and honest perspective along the way.

What I ask

  • Attend at least five of the six live sessions wherever possible
  • Complete core reflection and action exercises between sessions
  • Contribute respectfully and preserve confidentiality
  • Share honest feedback through short pulse checks and a final debrief. A testimonial is welcome only if the experience genuinely earns it.

Future cohorts are expected to be offered at a higher investment as the programme evolves.

Apply for a founding place

Questions

Frequently asked questions

The programme

It is a live, facilitated Career Wealth Circle that combines focused teaching, guided reflection, group coaching and practical action. You will learn the method, apply it to your own situation and receive support as you turn insight into a next-move strategy.

No. You do not need a fully formed plan. The Circle is designed to help you create more clarity about what you want, what you already bring and what needs to change for your next move to become possible.

The founding cohort is designed especially for women in finance, risk, audit and professional-services environments because those shared contexts can create a particularly useful peer experience. The Career Wealth method applies more broadly to experienced professional women, and applications from adjacent fields are welcome.

No. This is not a job-search programme. It is for women who want to become more intentional and better positioned, whether they are pursuing promotion, broadening their remit, rebuilding after burnout, questioning the next rung or preparing for opportunities before they arise.

The founding Circle uses a simple private programme hub, live sessions, email prompts and peer accountability, not another app to manage. The purpose is to reduce friction and support action. The future community will be shaped by what founding participants find genuinely valuable.

Time and commitment

Each live Circle lasts 90 minutes. Allow approximately 45 to 60 minutes between sessions for reflection and one practical action. There is rarely a convenient time to think strategically about your career. The question is not whether you can add more to your week; it is whether you can create protected space for the career you are already building.

The Circle is designed as a live experience because the conversation, reflection and peer learning matter. Please aim to attend at least five of the six sessions. Sessions will be recorded only with the consent of all participants. Recordings are there for members of the Circle who miss a session, and will not be shared beyond the group.

You will use the Career Wealth Working Guide, short reflection prompts and practical templates to apply the work to your real career. You will also have a peer accountability connection, so insight becomes action rather than something you think about alone.

You decide what to share. The Circle will have clear confidentiality agreements, and the aim is to create a thoughtful professional environment where participants can speak honestly without pressure to overshare.

The included one-to-one session gives you space to focus on a live career question. For women navigating a particularly high-stakes, complex or confidential decision, limited one-to-one Career Wealth Advisory support may be available after the Circle by application.

Fees and payment

You receive the complete programme at a reduced introductory rate because you are joining the first live cohort and agreeing to provide candid feedback that helps refine the experience. Honest feedback is welcome; a positive review or testimonial is never expected.

Yes. You can pay in full (£995) or in three monthly payments of £333, which is £999 in total. Tell me your preference on our connection call and the details will be included with your offer of a place.

Potentially, yes. If you would like to seek employer sponsorship, email me at alicia@alicianoble.com for a short programme summary you can share with your manager, HR or L&D team. Your employer can be invoiced directly.

Alicia Noble is a trading name of Noble Arc Limited, my company. Your invoice will come from Noble Arc Limited, and Noble Arc is the name you will see on your bank or card statement. Noble Arc Limited is not VAT registered, so no VAT is added to the fee.

If the minimum number of participants is not reached, I may withdraw the Circle, and you will receive a full refund. The full cancellation and refund terms are set out in the participant agreement, which you will receive with your offer of a place, before any payment is requested.

Applying

I read every application myself and reply within two working days. If the Circle looks like a good fit, I will invite you to a connection call, so we can talk through what you would like to get out of it in more detail, and you can get to know me. If we both feel it is right, I will offer you a place, with the participant agreement and payment details. Nothing is payable until you have been offered a place and chosen to accept it. Applications close on Sunday 1 November 2026, or earlier if the cohort is full.

You have built more than you think.

Your next move does not begin with working harder. It begins with recognising what you have already built, deciding what matters now and taking one well-chosen step towards the future you want.
