Golden Week 2026 · Careerships

Plan your biggest year yet, before it starts.

One focused afternoon in the quiet week between Christmas and New Year. Review the year you've had, define the year you want, and leave with a written plan you'll actually use.

📅 Tuesday 29 December 2026 ⏱ 2pm to 5pm UK (VIP to 6pm) 💻 Live on Zoom

Every ticket includes

  • ✓ Three-hour live planning workshop with Richard Edge
  • ✓ The Golden Week workbook, sent before the day
  • ✓ Written plan template you complete on the day
  • ✓ Recording and materials afterwards, in My Careerships
  • ✓ A small group, so you get airtime

An afternoon that sets up the whole year

Most people slide into January with vague intentions. Golden Week gives you three hours of structure, challenge and headspace to do the thinking properly, while the world is quiet.

🔍

Review

An honest look at the year: what moved, what stalled, what you learned about yourself and where your energy went.

🧭

Define

Set the direction for next year using the Careerships ARC framework: the role, the reputation and the results you're aiming for.

📝

Plan

Turn it into a written plan with quarterly milestones and the first three moves, so the momentum survives contact with January.

How the afternoon runs

Richard Edge, founder of Careerships

Richard has spent his career helping senior professionals make deliberate moves rather than reactive ones. Careerships works one-to-one with executives and leaders on the transitions that matter, and Golden Week is where the community comes together once a year to set the year up on purpose. Expect straight talk, practical frameworks and a room of people doing the same work as you.

Questions

Who is Golden Week for?

Anyone who wants to start the year with a clear plan rather than a vague resolution: senior professionals, leaders, people mid-transition, and Careerships alumni past and present. You don't need to be a client.

What's the difference between Standard and VIP?

Both include the full three-hour workshop and all materials. VIP adds an extra hour, 5pm to 6pm, in a smaller group with Richard for open questions on your specific situation.

What if I can't make it live?

You'll get the recording and materials afterwards in My Careerships, and the workbook works on its own. That said, the value is in doing the thinking together, so do come live if you can.

How do the early-bird prices work?

Book by 15 October for 20% off, or by 15 November for 15% off. The discount is applied automatically at checkout when you use the buttons on this page. After 15 November it's full price.

I'm a Careerships member. How do I get my discount?

Members get 25% off either ticket at any time. Open Golden Week in the My Careerships app and use the button there; the discount is applied for you. Discounts don't stack, and 25% is always the best rate.

Can I bring a colleague or a friend?

Yes. You can buy more than one ticket in the same checkout, or send them this page.

Refunds?

Full refund up to 14 days before the event. After that, you can transfer your ticket to someone else; just tell us their name.
