Preamble
Working Free supports the Senior Executive considering or embarking on a new career as an independent professional. Working Free works with Individuals personally and with Organisations as part of restructuring, redundancy, outplacement, career development or other mid-career transitioning arrangements and where independent working at senior levels is seen as an attractive way forward.
The Working Free Bundled Programme offers senior Executives a unique and integrated package of mature and guided learnings based on watching, reading, listening and discussions about new career directions as Independent Professionals .
These are delivered through (up to) 25 specialist MasterClasses – including equivalents – and with one-on-one support from one of our Specialist Delivery Partners. Each MasterClass consists of between 15 and 20 slides, each with voiceovers and Supporting Notes, available as and when required for up to four months.

The company assumes that these interactions will be conducted in good faith, proportionately and creatively. The Working Free specific market is a new but expanding one and little precedent of identifying and handling complaints exists.
