"Hey there, future self-lovin' warrior goddess!
We all have self-doubt and most of us wish for more confidence. But when you've had a consistent voice telling you you're not good enough, career courage feels like walking on quick sand. Every step is just so freaking hard. Especially when that voice is someone you love or trust."
- Cath Nolan
No matter how brilliant you are at your job, no matter how hard you work or even the accolades you amass, there's no sense of security if you don't feel you belong. But at the same time:
Career Courage is ESSENTIAL if you want to make an impact and have long-term financial success.
You can be great at your job while you're distracted. You can out-perform your peers while feeling insecure. But you can't truly THRIVE in your work when you're carrying the burden of trauma. Whether that's from a workplace bully, an abusive intimate relationship, or a lotta life knocks.
Is it time to put the burden of that weight down?
We all have stuff going on outside work, but for some it's inescapable. That makes work harder. It can feel like running a marathon while dragging a minivan.
There's a lot of sympathy for those at risk, but the system really only addresses the symptoms. Emergency care, victims' services. Women are encouraged to report to police but often, for complex reasons, police don't help. Instead police direct women to Court. But the womens advocates in Court warn them to stay away from Court. Trapped in a spinning door, often the only options are poverty or return to the perpetrator.
Made to feel victim, reassured that feeling broken is normal and that self-care is the best thing to do. Not encouraged to be strong or equipped to rebuild.
I know this, because this was my story, too. Part of my story. But I wanted to be empowered. Self-Care seemed disgusting to me, in the absence of security. Security had to come first. And financial security buys safety. It pays for lawyers who can find answers. It pays bills, so that women can chose independence.
When I think about victims of domestic violence, I remember the posters of scruffy white women with bruises, looking broken. I don't look like that. Neither do your colleagues. They put on a brave face and show up for work. You may not recognise the victims around you, just as you probably don't recognise the perpetrators around you.
That's why I wanted to help. Because fighting my way out was the hardest thing I've ever done. And I sit in a privileged position with white parents and a good education. A long-term 'expert' in helping people achieve their goals. But even my Coach tool kit wasn't enough. With deep learning I had to next-level my strategies in resilience and in rebuilding courage from the ground up. Even trusting people again, trusting your communication skills, trusting your professional expertise, can be a challenge for most.
To be really clear, It's Time is not a domestic violence program. It's a career program. We just happen to believe that those who've experienced domestic violence often have a greater need for courage, but less financial means to access a program like this. So, whether you're doing our Leadership Program- The Impactful Leader, or this one, our courageous career coach program, we'll gift a seat in It's Time through our network, to a DV Survivor.
By the end of this career program you will be able to

Wait - you're already busy and can't imagine carving out time for fluffy manifesting?
I hear ya honey! That was me. This is both pragmatic AND inspiring. I promise you. If you doubt me, have a look at the testimonial comments. This week you'll feel great AND move forward. No matter how ridiculously busy you are.
You're going to come away from Manifest week with
With Manifest Week, your focus shifts from where you've been, to where you're heading. You'll start DOING. Doing the actions, however small and no matter how crowded your day. And you know what? Being so tuned in to these micro steps you're taking FOR YOU, is going to feel delicious as sin. Like that second slice of home made apple pie you really shouldn't, but ohhhhh my!!! :) Only this gets you closer to your picture of perfection.
This week is our Appreciation Week. But if you're a fan of Oprah, I have to warn you: you will find no Gratitude Journals here. Because while gratitude has it's place, I find that for good girls, gratitude can be the thing that blurs your line between tolerance and compromise. Between patience and crossing your own boundaries.
But don't worry, I'm not advocating narcissism either :)
These are the keys to your discovery, in Appreciation Week:
Did Great, Resilience, Happiness Science,
Specifically, Appreciation Week is the true day spa zen feel. You're going to feel great about yourself. Funny thing is, the self-appreciation you're going to start to master this week, has a natural flow-on to wanting to self-care, and noticing more of the good in others.
How do we get you past that conditioning, and past the internal voice that says as brilliant as your skills are, you're somehow more a burden than others, because you have X or are Y, or are simply not as good as you think this role deserves.
Oh honey, we just do. I will bring you through to the other side of those beliefs. I will show you where they came from and together we'll drown them out with so much evidence that when the decision makers come knocking (and they will), you'll say Yes. As long as the terms are agreeable to you.
This is Abundance Week and you are taking action, my friend! By Abundance Week you are truly moving toward the rewards you deserve. Whatever that looks like for you.
Over the last few years, I've run a sold-out, 2-Day workshop on Communication a dozen times along the East Coast of Australia. People have flown / driven in from all over. Each time it ran, people would tell their colleagues and then another round would fill right up. And then we'd run it and had the same situation again, and again.
This week is Story Week. I'll be taking the pointiest bits of communication brilliance for max impact and quick return, and bringing that knowledge to you in sessions about as long as a tall cuppa. These Masterclass videos will include:
This is the Communication resource Mega-Centre for the truly time-poor. You can bet I'll be holding you accountable to take action this week, but that doesn't mean you'll go for an interview, pitch for budget buy in, do a Key Note presentation and a performance conversation with a team member, all this week. Hey if you do I"ll be the first to celebrate you :)
Story Week is about practice in action, and getting familiar with the toolkit that you can come back to time and again, as the situation fits.
TRAINER TO BE REVEALED
We're all about empowering courage and ditching fear. Regular physical activity has been proven to be as effective than anti-depressant medication in the short term and MORE effective over the long term.
Physical activity helps you to think more clearly, make better decisions, it reduces stress. So not only do you feel better, your health outcomes are better and you're more effective. All of that is an upward cycle for courage and security.
So let's hit two clay pigeons with one stone and incorporate some warrior princess empowering protective moves into your fitness routine.
TRAINER TO BE REVEALED
Have you seen Amy Cuddy's TED talk on the power of body language? She walks through the science that reveals how your body language impacts not only how other people see you, but most importantly, how you see yourself.
Amy showed that holding a powerful posture - like the Warrior Pose in yoga, for just 2 minutes, raises your testosterone and lowers your cortisol. You feel more empowered to take risks and less stressed.
Our yoga teacher is weeeeeellllll experienced in helping women in particular, to restore calm and build courage. This masterclass reveals her favourite moves for helping you get there too.
TRAINER TO BE REVEALED
Inhale ex-corporate girl and mindfulness guru Cath Gillespie, exhale peace, joy, strength and certainty. No don't inhale Cath, that's really weird - inhale WITH Cath!
This session is an exquisite gift, truly. You've heard of neuroplasticity? The idea that you can retrain your brain? What Cath does is help people to rewire their reactions. This is how you break the cycle, my friend. How YOU get to choose how you react. To sooth your brain, that you're not in danger despite past circumstances.
If you've ever had an emotional reaction that was bigger than the situation warranted, especially if you can relate that back to something going on elsewhere, or in the past, this chat with Cath Gillespie is NOT to be missed. Learn from the chat then embed with mindfulness.
Cath is long term friend from my corporate life, before we both broke out to help others live their best lives. I was ready to beg her to please bring her brilliance to this space... turns out I didn't need to.
Cath's living her best life, teaching alignment from the hinterland. She's the one who reminded me that, amid the expectation and priorities, joy is still allowed as an honourable pursuit. And recently, Cath's the one who showed me the action by action process, for rewiring my responses and putting me back in control of my fear.
TRAINER TO BE REVEALED
If you worry that something you're doing is attracting certain situations, this is the Masterclass you can't miss. If you find you have a habit of tolerance that people take too far, this is for you.
Join our expert and learn to identify your patterns and how to shift them. How to see before you're in too deep.
We're all going to make mistakes as we grow. Let's just make sure your next mistakes are fresh new ones with greater growth ahead, not the old mistakes on repeat.
While It's Time is not a one on one program, feedback is UBER critical. So we offer two types of feedback workshops, so that your learning is real and your changes become embedded.
We'll hold live Q&A group coaching calls to help clarify and clear up any lingering questions you might have. Even if you don't have questions, hearing other peoples questions can be super helpful.
You'll have the opportunity to submit your resumé to be live-edited, or your LinkedIn profile or pitch, for feedback. Even if your piece isn't selected (and we try to get to all), you will learn a tonne from this over-the-shoulder editing experience.
These group calls alone will profoundly improve the way you present yourself. Even if your brand material isn't selected for a makeover, watching real-time critiques is one of the fastest ways to improve the messages you're putting out into the world. Even more, you'll be able to revisit this library of critique workshops as many times as you like.

I know what it's like to hide parts of yourself in order to do a great job. To be striving and successful but heavy with 'not-enoughness', pleading with the universe, 'isn't there more?'
My career breaking point led me to craft cut and paste impactful career navigation that's helped many thousands.
Later, my personal breaking point showed me the fight switch. How to turn it on, even in the worst of circumstances, to lead with heart and energy.
I would love for you to win too. Your unique style, experience and circumstances are so important. I cannot wait for you to know completely that you're totally on track and winning in the areas most important to you.
The Impactful Career is led by Cath Nolan, Founder of Gender Gap Gone and the Don't be ARSD Movement®. With a global reputation as a womens leadership expert, her ASXTop 10, Fortune Top 50 client list has included Coca Cola, Toyota, Uber, Disney, Johnson & Johnson, numerous government departments and many more.
Having won Awards for Leadership and recipient of the prestigious Women Will Change the World, Catherine is a three-time #1 Best-Selling Author, regularly in discussion with celebrity women's advocates and leaders, on how we can see the Gender Gap Gone.
An ex-corporate girl with 20 years of coaching expertise and 3 young kids, life then delivered her a knock so big it nearly ended her. Fighting back from that- with the kids in tow, delivered transformational insights and tools that thousands of clients have since implemented and loved too.
Her mission is to help you to build a life of purpose and joy, basking in the rewards you deserve.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this suitable for our team members accessing Domestic Violence leave or support?
Well hell yes. Absolutely. It's a stellar way to let your team members know they're supported in non-intrusive, pragmatic way.
DV 'users' or perpetrators commonly make it difficult for victims to work- logistically, limiting opportunities and trashing their confidence. This program is an excellent antidote to that confidence crush, not to mention helping with the financial security that enables choices.
Who do the 'gifted' programs go to?
We have a network of Not For Profits who work in the Domestic Violence sector.
These include womens shelters and refuges, women's health centres and outreach programs, counsellors and advocates. Some cater to all women and children, others have a more specialised focus on First Nations women, or Migrant and Refugee women.
Our network partners nominate the participants, who then receive access just like you do.
You're giving away a course when I buy a course. Does that mean I'm paying double?
Ah-ah, no way, no ma'am. Nope. We've worked in this space for some years now. Our programs are super competitively priced. We can be super competitive AND still generous in gifting a seat for every seat sold, because of 2 things.
We're a Sustainable Enterprise. The Gender Gap is a wicked problem, and in some areas like domestic violence, it's only getting worse. We're prepared to forego profit for the sake of our mission. The second reason, is our team is micro in numbers and huge in commitment. Our overheads are lower, so that the people who benefit most are the people taking our programs.
Do I need to have experienced trauma to activate my 'fight switch'?
Actually this is a VERY frequently asked question. People are inspired by come-back stories and wonder if they can have the come-back even without a set-back.
100% yes! You need two things. A strong enough goal and evidence you can do it. That's all.
You can expect to mine your history for missed targets, disgruntled clients and team members that didn't work. Alongside that, you'll get really clear on your vision. Even if you have no idea of your why, or where to start. You will soon, friend :) And then you'll be on your way. Even without an explosive trauma tale to your name :)
How is It's Time different to The Impactful Career?
Oooh thanks for asking! So The Impactful Leader is a leadership program. It helps you to hone your leadership identity and elevate your impact. Mostly, via working with others either within your team or across your industry.
It's Time is a career program, building self-appreciation and security. People at all levels could do either program, depending on where they're at in their personal journey. Here you set your direction and brand, build courage with mindset.
The Impactful Leader develops your leadership impact by leveraging inclusion and emotional intelligence, and expanding the reach of your message.
I've experienced Domestic Violence. How do I apply for a scholarship?
It's super simple. Most of our scholarships are given through our network partners, but not all. You can apply direct by emailing team@gapgone.com.au Kim or Cath will reply and let you know what we need to get you set up. We'll ask you two things.
What is it you're hoping to get from this program and how can we support you? And, we'll ask you to provide some evidence that this has been your experience - it could be a letter from a case worker, a Dr certificate or similar.
If you know someone else you believe is in this position and you think they might benefit, please reach out via email and let's see if we can support them together.
Will I work directly with Catherine?
If you have a specific program that includes 1:1 coaching with Catherine, then sure! Otherwise, it's likely you will have contact, but not a guarantee.
If you submit questions for the Lives and you attend, then you'll interact with Catherine. If you have a specific question for her, you can tag #ASKCATHERINE in your email, for her specific attention and advice.
What if I have another question not mentioned here?
Oh honey, please get in touch! We're a team of (mostly) mums and grandmothers, with a passion for helping you to get to where you want to be. If you have a question, we'd love to help. And given the kid /grandbaby juggle, let's just say we don't all work 9 to 5!
If you have a question, please reach out.
