The main chapter is changing: a career winding down, the family grown, a long role coming to an end. The question stops being how to fill the time and starts being what it's all for. Next Decade is where you work that out: practical courses, honest self-assessments, and people asking exactly the same thing.
A founding-member invitation. Free to join, no card required. The first 100 members get a full year free, even once membership becomes paid.
Take a quick Next Decade Compass — no sign-up needed. Just an honest nudge in a direction.
Everything lives in one calm, members-only space — think, try things, and talk them through with people asking the same questions.
Short, practical courses — like What Is a Title, Really? and Designing a Portfolio Life — plus the full Next Decade archive.
See the courses →Honest self-assessments to clarify your priorities, strengths and possible directions. Start with What do I want to take on next?
Try the Compass →A thoughtfully hosted space and a members' directory — meet people exploring similar questions, and talk about what actually matters.
See the community →Small-group programmes like Rewriting the Next Chapter — structure and good company when you want more support.
See the cohorts →No card, no catch. You're a founding member from the first click — and one of only 100.
Open a short course or take a Compass quiz. See what lands before you commit a single evening.
Bring it into the community and ask the questions that actually matter — with people asking them too.

Hi, I’m Mags Treanor and I’m the founder of Next Decade. I’ve spent years working with people who are very good at what they do, until one day the question changes from “How do I get ahead?” to “What do I actually want next?”
We invest an extraordinary amount of ourselves in our working lives. Work gives us structure, identity, status and, if we’re lucky, a sense of purpose. Then something changes. A career ends, a new opportunity appears, or we simply realise that the life we’ve carefully constructed doesn’t quite fit anymore. And strangely enough, nobody hands us a new script.
I’ve done a bit of rewriting myself, and discovered that some of the most interesting chapters don’t necessarily arrive in the order we’re told to expect.
I created Next Decade for people who are curious about what comes next, and who aren’t particularly interested in being defined by what they’ve already done. It’s a place for fresh perspectives, interesting people, new possibilities and some genuinely worthwhile conversations.
Because staying busy is one thing. Building a life that still feels meaningful, stimulating and relevant is quite another.
The honest answers to what people usually want to know — no small print, no pressure.
If a role has ended, a direction has shifted, or the plan you've followed for years has quietly stopped fitting — and you've started asking “so what now?” — then yes. You don't need a plan to join. You just need the question.
Nothing to join. The first 100 members get a full year free. After that it's €6.50 a month or €65 a year — and only if you decide it's worth staying for.
As little as you like. The courses are short and self-paced — one honest idea at a time, in your own time. Dip in for ten minutes or spend an afternoon; nobody's keeping score.
Never. Read, think, and quietly take what's useful. The conversation is there when you want it, not a demand the day you arrive.
It's just opening its doors — and that's the point. Join now and you help shape what it becomes. Founding members get a real say in what Next Decade turns into.
Join free as a founding member, explore everything, and help shape what Next Decade becomes.
