Returning to work after a career break - for childcare, eldercare, for health or other reasons - can feel daunting and overwhelming. You don't have to find your way back alone.
In Return Journey, Julianne Miles - a world-renowned return-to-work expert, Chartered Psychologist, and a successful returner herself - offers a psychology-led, step-by-step guide for any professional looking to get back to fulfilling work. Using a mix of practical advice, coaching exercises and real-life case studies, Return Journey will be your wise companion at every stage: from boosting your confidence as you start out, to offering advice on an effective job search strategy, to helping prepare you emotionally and practically for the first months back.
Above all, Julianne proposes that returning to work is not about hiding your career break or struggling to catch up. It's about properly valuing your wealth of skills and experience, taking control of your story, and coming back stronger than ever before.
Julianne Miles has supported thousands of people in their path back to work after a long career break. A Chartered Psychologist and a successful career returner herself, she is an internationally-recognised expert on returning to work and a pioneer in the development of corporate returner programmes.
After running her own career psychology practice, Julianne co-founded Career Returners in 2014. Career Returners is a social impact business that supports a global online community, partners with leading employers worldwide to create routes back to work, delivers return-to-work employability programmes, and provides returner guidance for government bodies.
Julianne's mission is to make career breaks a valued part of a lifetime career. She was awarded an MBE in 2019 in recognition of her pivotal role in changing the landscape for UK returners. She lives in London, England and has two adult children.
