The Next Chapter
Create the freedom to live, work, or do business on your own terms in a way that feels fulfilling and meaningful to you.
Get on the path of change.
If you have a sneaking suspicion it is time for your next chapter in life, you are in the right place.
After years (possibly even decades) of treading the same path, personally and professionally, maybe you have reached a stage in life when you are questioning the status quo and wondering if you want something different for yourself in your next chapter at midlife and beyond.
Maybe you already know what you want to change in your life, work, or business but are finding it hard to figure out how to create and navigate the transition to achieve what matters most to you.
Maybe you feel stuck and frustrated and don't know where to start with designing your next chapter or how to create change that will genuinely last successfully.
If that sounds like you, our program, The Next Chapter, and our online community are for you.
Join us Outside of the Circle.
The Next Chapter Curriculum
Our online curriculum teaches you exactly how to design your next chapter and create change so that you have the freedom to live, work, or do business on your own terms in a way that feels fulfilling and meaningful to you.
It simplifies the change process to help you get unstuck, move forward with confidence, and achieve what matters most to you.
Life is made up of many chapters. To support you with that, you have lifetime access to the program. You can do the program as many times as you want. It is a reusable framework and process that you can reuse for each new chapter.
In addition, you will have access to regular live, support sessions on Zoom. They are an opportunity to ask questions, brainstorm ideas, discuss challenges, etc. We are here to support you every step of the way as you work on designing your next chapter and creating change successfully.
The full curriculum consists of six programs:

1. Clear Your Path
You will learn practical strategies to set yourself up to succeed, including how to:
- eliminate the things that drain your time and energy, get in the way, or hold you back.
- take back control of your time so that you have more time for what matters most.
- feel less overwhelmed and less busy.
- create permanent solutions to keep your path clear as you move forward.

2. Design Your Next Chapter
You will learn a three step process to help you to:
- get clarity and design your next chapter.
- feel confident that you are choosing the right path for yourself.
- design your next chapter to give yourself freedom to live, work, or do business on your own terms in a way that feels fulfilling and meaningful to you.
- make decisions and choices that will move you forward.

3. Bridge the Gap
You will learn:
- a simple and effective planning approach to get from where you are to exactly where you want to be.
- how to proactively and effectively deal with setbacks and challenges that might arise.
- how to minimise and manage risk.
- contingency planning to make your change and transition feel safe to go for.

4. Get on Track. Stay on Track.
You will learn how to:
- achieve consistent progress and outcomes.
- a framework to keep you moving in the right direction.
- a process to identify the next most appropriate actions every step of the way.
- maintain momentum at a sustainable pace.

5. Change in Action
You will learn how to:
- create change to achieve the specific outcomes that matter most to you.
- navigate the human side of change, including how to create the behaviours, habits, mindset, and emotional state to set yourself up to succeed...
...because who you are "being" is as important as what you are doing when it comes to creating change successfully.

6. Personal Evolution
You will learn how to:
- unleash your true potential to achieve what matters most to you.
- identify the specific areas of personal growth and development that will support you in living, working, or doing business on your own terms ongoing.
- create your own personal evolution plan to succeed and thrive.

How the curriculum is structured:
- online, self-study format so that you can work through it at your own pace.
- includes video tutorials, assignments, and worksheets to support you with implementing what you are learning as you go.
- regular live support sessions on Zoom which you can use for Q&A, brainstorm ideas, get help with assignments, get feedback and coaching, mastermind with other members, etc.
- access to our private online community platform to connect with other professionals designing their next chapter.
We are here to support you every step of the way.

Welcome! I'm Ali Davies, Founder of Outside of the Circle
Over 20 years ago, I felt unfulfilled with the status quo, personally and professionally. I wanted to change my life to have the freedom to live, work, and do business on my own terms in a way that felt fulfilling and meaningful to me.
This led me to start questioning the conventional definition of success. I decided to redefined what success meant to me. I used that to designed a new chapter for my life and work.
After a 14-year corporate career, I left in 2001 to start my own business. Ever since, I have lived, worked, and done business on my own terms, based on my own definition of success and designing my life based on how I want to live and work.
In addition to changing careers, I have moved countries twice (from England to Ireland for seven years and from Ireland to Canada). I now live on an island off the Canadian west coast, enjoying island life, a dream come true: by design.
All these changes were far from easy. There were lots of setbacks, challenges, mistakes and mixed emotions along the way. But, through trial and error, I figured out how to navigate the path of change to get from where I was to where I am today.
Over the years, I have turned everything I learned about creating change to live and work on your own terms into a process, which I have been teaching to my private clients and groups for over twenty years.
I have now turned that into this online curriculum and community to share my process with people who like to learn at their own pace and value being surrounded by a supportive community of other professionals navigating a similar journey.
