Another Path launches to support UK professionals changing careers

“At that point, TV was all I knew. My confidence, network and sense of professional identity all lived there, and the idea of stepping outside it felt like losing part of myself.”

Buckley added: “What followed was years of navigating multiple career moves, from television production into recruitment, talent management, communications, PR, entrepreneurship and career coaching. 

“Looking back, none of those moves were really about starting again, they were about recognising the same strengths in different places and learning how to position them differently.

“The hardest part was never ability, it was clarity. Knowing whether I needed to retrain or whether I simply needed to reposition the experience I already had.”

He said: “Understanding what was actually transferable. Learning how to explain my value in a way that made sense outside the world I had built my career in.

“Career change is rarely just about changing jobs. It is usually about confidence, identity and giving yourself permission to think differently about what success could look like. 

“I see so many people who are incredibly capable doubting themselves because they feel stuck between what they have done and what they think they are allowed to do next.”

He added: “Often the breakthrough is not finding a completely new answer, it is recognising the patterns that have always been there. 

“What energises you, where you naturally perform well, what people consistently trust you for, and what kind of life you actually want your work to support.

“That is exactly why I created Another Path. I wanted to build the kind of support I wish had existed when I was figuring it out myself.

“Career change can feel lonely, confusing and isolating, but it can also be the beginning of something far better than what you thought you were supposed to stay in.”
