Your next chapter is closer than you think.
You're good at your job. You've earned your title. And something has shifted. We built Pirouette for that exact moment, when you know change is coming but can't quite see the path yet.
What brings people here
Life milestones can shake up your career
The big moments that reshape your life often reshape your work too. And nobody hands you a map.
Life milestones that shift everything
- Returning from maternity or paternity leave
- Moving abroad for your family
- Taking a personal career break
- A leadership change that resets the board
Real challenges: no time, no network
You have a full life and no bandwidth to research paths, rebuild a network from scratch, or figure out what you even want. The clock doesn't stop.
Feelings nobody prepares you for
Guilt. Imposter syndrome. The strange grief of leaving something behind. The uncertainty of not knowing what you want next. These are real, and they slow you down.
How it works
Meet Sophie
Director of Marketing, 38. She came back from maternity leave to find her scope quietly reduced and no one to talk to about it.
Step 1
Discover
Your Story
You start by sharing your story: your CV, your constraints, your goals. Pirouette maps the context before anything else begins. Not what you think you should say, but what is actually true.

Discover
Your Story
You start by sharing your story: your CV, your constraints, your goals. Pirouette maps the context before anything else begins. Not what you think you should say, but what is actually true.
Step 2
Diagnose
Skills Mirror
A 20-minute AI conversation maps your strengths across function, leadership, presence and adaptability. The result is a skills portrait that shapes everything that follows.
Step 3
Decide
Pivot Scenarios
Three considered paths modelled around your real constraints: roles you could plausibly land, not fantasy. You choose the direction worth pursuing. You can also suggest your own scenarios.
Step 4
Develop
Career Cohort
A cohort of four people at the same crossroads meets weekly with shared accountability.
Step 5
Discuss
Coaches & Mentors
Your Outcomes dashboard tracks what actually matters: hard numbers (applications, interviews, offers) and soft ones (confidence, clarity, decision readiness). Your story in data.

What you'll get out of this
Here's what 12 weeks actually does
A clear direction
Not a vague sense that something should change. A concrete shortlist of realistic moves, ranked by what matters to you.
Momentum in weeks, not months
The 12-week structure creates urgency. Peer accountability means you don't drift. You move.
People who get it
Your cohort is curated. These aren't generic networking contacts. They're people at the same inflection point, with the same constraints.
Confidence that sticks
We measure it. From self-doubt to decision-ready: not as a feeling, but as a tracked score that shows you how far you've come.
Total privacy
Your data, your story. Nothing is ever shared with your employer. EU-hosted, GDPR-native, AI Act-aligned.
Skills that transfer
Your Mirror reveals what you already have that you're not counting. Often, the pivot is smaller and more powerful than you thought.
Why we built this
“I moved abroad for my family and had to start over in a new country, a new culture, a new professional landscape. The hardest part wasn't finding a job. It was finding something that still felt like me.”
“Maternity leave gave me space I didn't expect: the realisation that after years in big corporate, I wanted something completely different. I had skills, drive, and absolutely no idea how to redirect them.”
We spent 12 weeks interviewing 50 people in exactly this situation. Pirouette is what we wish had existed. We're not a consulting firm. We're two people who lived it.
Let's see if Pirouette is right for you.
If it feels right, we'd love to connect.
Your data stays in the EU.
The name
Why Pirouette?
Pirouette
A pirouette is a controlled spin. It takes precision, balance, and complete trust in your own technique. That's what a career pivot is: not falling, not flailing. A deliberate turn, beautifully executed.
