Learn how to build a thriving career while working part-time.
Working too many hours and juggling everything outside of work?
You’re doing an amazing job, pulling out all the stops to make a challenging situation work. I see you. I’ve been you!
But squeezing a full-time workload into part-time hours isn’t sustainable.
It’s time to get tools to achieve sustainable balance and start thriving instead of just surviving in your part-time role!
Challenge your assumption that more hours = more impact.
No longer a synonym for career stall – part-time is possible for anyone in any role.
Learn how to approach the transition, get all stakeholders onboard, realistically scope your role, optimise your work time, protect your downtime and empower your team so you can confidently step away.

HEAR IT FIRSTHAND
My course is brand-spanking new, so there are no course-specific testimonials. As a leadership and flexible work coach, I’ve got eight years of experience helping people achieve career success while working flexibly.
I’ve lived, breathed and studied the benefits and pitfalls of this, so I know how to solve the part-time puzzle.
Here’s what some advocates say about my part-time pathway:
“Solving The Part-Time Puzzle challenges commonly held beliefs that part-time working is incompatible with leadership roles. This is a must-read for any leader looking to make the shift to part-time, with real life examples and simple, practical steps to implement.”
Tali Ross, General Manager Finance, BWS
“When it comes to part-time work, there are many things people don't know they need to know, and they assume it's as simple as 'just working less' - which is why it often ends up becoming an unsolvable puzzle. But Belinda lays out everything you need to know in a beautifully structured, and extremely practical guide on making part-time work a success for both you and your business.”
Robert Hawkins, author of Humans Are Not Robots
“Empowering, accessible and unapologetic. Belinda gives a compelling case for part-time work as a smart strategy -not just for the leader who wants to reduce their hours and increase their impact, but for any organisation looking to attract exceptional talent. Drawing on a clear and practical framework, Belinda will coach you through all the levers essential to bringing the part-time puzzle to life and make it work for everyone involved. If you’re not sure whether the part-time dream is possible, you’ll be a believer and an advocate after this!”
Rhonda Grant, Communications and Engagement Manager, Bupa Asia Pacific
“I was fortunate to come across this framework around the exact time I transitioned my role to 80 per cent. It has helped me in many ways, from better understanding the tools and strategies to make the transition successful, to giving me the motivation and excitement to become an advocate.”
Aline Schneider, Head of Marketing, Elsevier
“An insightful and incredibly practical guide for anyone wanting to scope a leadership role within part-time hours or to carve a path to part-time leadership.”
Leanne O'Reilly, Legal Services Professional
How much time will the course take?
It will be different for everyone, but approximately 1-2 hours per module. And you don’t need to worry if life gets in the way. You have lifetime access to the course content.
How will I find the time when I’m already flat out juggling work and life?
Great question! Almost anything worth doing takes a little bit of time though. And a big focus of the course is on how to optimise your time so that you are no longer working hours well beyond what you are paid to do. Think of the course as an upfront investment in freeing up lots of time for future you.
How long will I get access to the course?
For the lifetime of the course.
Is it really possible to work part-time in a senior level role?
It really and truly is! And there are plenty of people out there proving it. The course includes stories and tips from 10 senior leaders across a range of industries who have successfully worked part-time over many years.
Can anyone who is working part-time do this course?
Absolutely. Only one of the six modules is specifically focussed on leadership capabilities, and even this one will have plenty of applicability if you lead projects or spend time mentoring more junior colleagues.
Is this course for people working in job share arrangements too?
Although the core focus is on part-time roles that are not job share, there is a lot of the course content that will be relevant to you. Just to be clear though, there is no specific guidance on how to find and collaborate with a job share partner, or how to craft job share roles. Drop me a note to find out how else I can help you with these things though!
I’d rather work with you 1:1. Is that an option?
Absolutely. I also love coaching people 1:1 to enable them to achieve their part-time work and leadership goals. Here is some more information

I’VE WALKED THE PART-TIME PATHWAY
