Why choose Anchor Point?

Developed by seasoned coaches and former UN professionals, Anchor Point is a transformational journey designed to support both your emotional wellbeing and your career progression. It’s not just about staying within the system—it’s about expanding your possibilities, whether that means continuing in the UN, transitioning to the private sector, consulting, entrepreneurship, or something entirely new.

Designed by former UN HR professionals, career and executive coaches – those who understand the UN ecosystem and the complexity of international careers both in international organizations and in the private sector.

We help you to pause and reflect, to process your unique situation, and pivot with clarity and confidence into your next chapter.

From mindset shifts to CVs, LinkedIn, and interview prep, we offer practical resources that bridge heart and strategy—and are tailored to your unique journey.

Whether you thrive in 1:1 sessions or prefer the energy and shared wisdom of a peer group, Anchor Point offers flexible pathways that meet you where you are. 

This isn’t just a reflection space—it’s an action space. You’ll build a personalised roadmap, receive expert and peer feedback, and take concrete steps forward. With expert support and facilitated Mastermind Groups, you’re not alone—you’re held, guided, and cheered on.

We deeply understand the UN system—but we also guide you to translate your experience into language that resonates across sectors – so your skills can open doors to the private sector, consulting, and social enterprise.
