Wakana Fujisawa

Business Consultant
"The Inflection programme gave me a community of people who are on the same journey as me, a safe space to explore and exchange ideas. The programme provides a very helpful structure to progress my thinking, to share ideas and to start taking small incremental actions. I now have a clearer idea of what I am going to try next."

Ruth Wassermann

Strategic Collaborator
"Zinc inflection was a great way to engage with career pivot coaching in a very targeted way. Exploring how to donut with a lens of impact and purpose that comes from their deep sector expertise. It has given me some clarity and renewed momentum for my next career steps."

Amanda Penny

Doctor and startup medical advisor
“The Inflection fellowship has given me a framework to explore future roles that align with my values, accountability to follow through at each stage and a community of like-minded peers for support. It’s a great launchpad for anyone striving to pivot in their career to make a positive impact for people and planet!"

Nick Haisman-Smith

Executive Director and Co-Founder,
The Institute for Social and Emotional Learning
"A hugely energising opportunity to connect with others who care deeply about driving positive change — and to explore, together, how we can amplify the insight and experience we’ve each gathered over time."

Alexandra Kutas

Storyteller for social change
"Inflection gave me the space I wouldn’t have otherwise—to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly energises me. I especially loved putting into words, and seeing in action, what genuinely drives me. It was a powerful reminder that clarity doesn’t come all at once—it builds through honest reflection and intentional practice."

Sam Gregory

Fractional Chief Marketing Officer
“The Inflection program has been provocative and helpful, building momentum and adding clarity as I consider the next phase of my career. The shared experience aspect of the program was invaluable, and the resources provided served as an effective framework for discovery."

Inflection is not just career coaching. It's a de-risked launchpad for your next chapter.

Traditional career change advice often involves taking a blind leap of faith. We believe in intelligent, de-risked reinvention.

The Inflection Fellowship is a structured, 12-week programme that helps you prototype your future without quitting your job.

We don't just help you find an idea; we help you find your North Star. That powerful meeting point of your skills, your passions and the world's needs.

Then, we give you the tools to test new paths through low-risk, real-world experiments, so you can make your next move with confidence and evidence, not just hope.
