GET MORE CLARITY ON YOUR CAREER TRANSITION
Your guide for being in-between. Make the most out of your transition and explore your next steps with insightful classes and a supportive community.
What are you doing with your life?
Are you feeling stuck or uncertain about your life's direction?
​
Are you having an existential crisis?
​
Have you been forced to make significant changes outside of your control?
Are you wondering "what's the point of it all?" despite your achievements?
​​
You're in the right place.
​
Life transitions can be terrifying, lonely and uncertain; especially when we’re used to focusing on speed, achievements and ‘success’.
We might start to question everything, including who we are. And there's a strong temptation to try to rush the process, or resist the changes
​
But transitions are what transform us. They're our route to a full metamorphosis of self. And not only are they supremely powerful, but they can also be fun! (Really!)
Wouldn't it be helpful if there were guidance to demystify the path ahead, so you could move forwards into your future with clarity, confidence and ease? ...
Welcome to [Identity Crisis] Transition.
I'm your guide, Baillie Aaron.
Do you want to explore your transition conscientiously and with intention?
​
If yes - I can help.
If we work together, I'll support your introspective process so that you can find alignment, joy and freedom... and avoid the traps preventing you from completing your transition.
What type of transition are you in?
Career Transition
Are you looking for a more meaningful, fulfilling career? It can be daunting to leave a stable, paid job; especially if you do not know what you want to do next. This program will help you gain clarity on a career and lifestyle that will fulfill and excite you, and provide a roadmap for how to make it a reality.
Founder Transition
As a Founder, your departure from your organisation is one of the single most impactful events facing both you and your company. Avoid 'founder's syndrome' and burn-out. This program will help you maintain your energy, manage your emotions and avoid overwhelm so you can leave on a high and stay there.
Health Transition
The healing journey is distinct. Alongside the physical changes, a mental, emotional and spiritual paradigm shift occurs as we accept our circumstances and treat ourselves with compassion. This program covers mental, emotional and physical health recovery.
Identity Transition
During a transition, it's common to lose one's sense of 'self' along with feelings of passion and purpose. This program focuses on separation of identity from societal conditioning, labels, limiting beliefs, activities and achievements. And then how to rebuild and reconnect an aligned, authentic sense of 'you'.
Topics we might cover together include:
​
-
rediscovering passions, strengths and values
-
rewriting your professional narrative
-
managing setbacks and stuckness
-
exploring your relationship to money, control and conditioning
-
staying on-purpose: identifying distractions and saying no
-
maximising ideation and discovery
-
finding freedom and living your dream

Past clients say
This course provided me with a firm framework of what a transition looks like, but also required me to dig deep down, be reflective, be vulnerable, and be patient. And daydream often.

Why choose me as your guide?
I'm a serial entrepreneur and Career Transitions specialist, with degrees from Harvard College (psychology and economics) and an MPhil from Cambridge University. As a facilitator and coach, I am known to be provocative and direct - with kindness and playfulness. I notice patterns and alternative perspectives quickly. Whether we work together one-to-one or in a group setting, I will hold space for you, be fully present for our conversations, share my knowledge and wisdom openly, and be your champion and cheerleader.
​
I've spent over 15 years supporting people through career transitions. Initially, I founded two award-winning organisations supporting people leaving prison to find their 'spark' or sense of purpose - which usually meant a complete change in sector! Later, I set up my own coaching practice for start-up and exiting entrepreneurs, and mid-career leaders changing their professional direction. I've immersed myself in the multi-disciplinary study of transitions: drawing lessons from behavioural science, psychology, philosophy, fiction, art, poetry, mythology and nature.
​
This work is deeply personal. I know what it's like to question my sense of purpose, to struggle when asked 'What do you do?' or 'Who are you?', to feel stuck, constrained or alone while seeking clarity in my future direction. ​I've been through the process of leaving behind a stable career to take a leap into the unknown, without knowing what's next. I can also identify with what it's like to be forced to make this change: I had to take several years off work after a serious injury that required a multi-year recovery.

Being In-Between is the resource I wish I'd had during my own career transitions. I'm so excited to be able to offer it to you!
