The secret to rebranding yourself in midlife
2026-01-07 12:30 - 13:30
Do you have decades of experience but still struggle to articulate your story in a way that brings the opportunities, jobs or attention you want? Are you looking to make a change, find a new path and get the life you really deserve? Wouldn’t you like to feel fabulous about all you’ve done, all the hardships you’ve overcome, everything you are, rather than feeling overwhelmed or confused?

.

If so, you’re in the right place!  So many of us at midlife have got a complicated tale to tell that it’s quite hard to get it all down. So many of us struggle to compress all our skills, qualities and achievements – everything we’ve learned and become in the first part of our lives – into a compelling story that launches us into the next phase.

.

In this free webinar, you’ll discover the 3 big mistakes that people make when rebranding in midlife. You’ll learn about a Rebranding Framework – created by NOON Founder Eleanor Mills – that reveals how to shape a compelling story to use in interviews, on social media, at networking events … even on dating apps!

About this webinar

The webinar has come out of a new ground-breaking course created by Eleanor called Rebrand Yourself™.

Instead of the same old keywords and boring AI-generated approach, Rebrand Yourself draws upon our personal qualities, our rich (if squiggly) timelines and our dreams for the next phase of life.

The result: You’ll create a new midlife brand that’s unmistakably YOU. Enrolment for the next Rebrand Yourself™ cohort opens January 7, 2026 for a limited time only. During this webinar, you can find out more about the Rebrand Yourself™ course and how you can kick off the year with a new outlook and focus!

COURSE: Rebrand Yourself™ - In progress
2026-01-19 00:00 - 2026-04-30 23:59
NOTE: Enrolment is closed and this cohort is in progress. Watch for next enrolment, opening Spring 2026

We’re excited to announce that our sell-out Rebrand Yourself Course™ is back, with enrolment open only through Monday 19 January.

Now’s the time to discover your next chapter, learn how to articulate your story and tell it with confidence.

This transformative course helps you rediscover your confidence, own your experience and pivot into a fulfilling new chapter — without dumbing down your CV or hiding the very things that make you valuable.

If you’re feeling stuck, overlooked, or quietly wondering “Is this really it?”, this course gives you the exact framework to change direction with clarity, purpose and power.

🚨 Limited spaces. Limited enrolment.Enrol before 19 January 2026 to secure your place

Yes, I want to know more!

Unlike other personal branding courses, we won’t be telling you to shrink yourself, strip out your years of experience or stuff your CV with keywords. Instead, NOON founder Eleanor Mills will show you how to turn your lived experience into your greatest asset.

“When I was made redundant from my job as a senior editor after 23 years, I felt like my world had fallen apart. But I realised my story — and my ability to tell it — could help me start again.”

You’ll learn skills Eleanor employed when writing her bestselling book Much More to Come, and get the benefit of her storytelling expertise built on decades of interviewing everyone from the Dalai Lama to Gorbachev to One Direction.

What you’ll get

We’re kicking off with an online group call on Monday 19 January at 12:30pm (don’t worry if you can’t make this exact time as you’ll get a recording). Then each week you’ll be guided through the steps of understanding your personal timeline, identifying your Golden Threads, pinpointing your personal and career highlights, then bringing it all together into a compelling new story.

There’s a group WhatsApp where you can connect with other midlife women on the course and see how others are doing it, live video calls with Eleanor including Q&As, case studies to learn from, and an opportunity to get feedback from the NOON team on what you’ve crafted.

Whether you’re still deciding your next move or struggling to access the opportunities you deserve, Rebrand Yourself™ helps you step forward with confidence, credibility and joy.

✨ This is your moment.Learn more and enrol before 19 January 2026 to begin your next chapter.

Private View of Land Camp by photographer Amelia Troubridge – Jan 2026
2026-01-22 18:30 - 20:30 | The General Assembly, 12 Saint George Street , London, W1S 2FB

Acclaimed photographer Amelia Troubridge will be in conversation with Eleanor Mills at this very special reception of Land Camp, created exclusively for NOON. And we’re making it available to everyone!

In April 2025, Amelia photographed the 21st Free Land Camp, where 10,000 Indigenous leaders and people gathered in Brasília alongside community organisers. Organised by the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB), this was the largest mobilisation of Indigenous people in the world.

Eleanor will be asking Amelia about the experience of attending Land Camp, her life as a photographer, the male gaze and more. This is is an amazing opportunity to hear from this talented Queenager photographer.

Private View of Land Camp by Amelia Troubridge

Thursday 22 January 2026

18:30 – 20:30

The General Assembly, 12 Saint George Street

London W1S 2FB

*OPEN TO ALL* Tickets: FREE

.

The event will highlight the Olwyn Foundation for Women and Girls. Prints will be available to purchase at the show, with a percentage of all sale and ticket proceeds going towards the foundation. If you can’t make the event, Land Camp will be open to the public until 25 January. Opening times are 10am-6pm.

About Land Camp

Seminars, debates, music and culture all served as a platform to connect and empower the many indigenous voices that still struggle to survive and preserve their territories.”Traditions are passed down from one generation to another. I wanted the work to show the women of Land Camp who are embracing modern ways – social media has connected their voices,” says Amelia.

What is the Olwyn Foundation?

The Olwyn Foundation is a charitable public funding platform created by Samantha Rowe-Beddoe that supports, protects and educates women and girls in the UK and around the world. “This new body of work by Amelia, highlighting the voice of the indigenous women of Brazil, resonated with Olwyn,” says Samantha. Women and girls around the world are the most negatively affected by climate change – whether through increasing child marriage rates, general displacement, poverty and scarcity of resources, and increased sexual violence, environmentalism is always a women’s issue.”

About the NOON ski trip 2026

We’re a group of Queenagers and the accent is on FUN, leisure and having a lovely time whatever your level (from beginners to experts). It will be led by NOON founder Eleanor Mills with Jennifer Howze coming too (our wonderful NOON Editorial Director).

We stay in a fab 4-star family-owned spa hotel nestled in a valley beneath the towering north face of the Eiger. You’ll make new friends, challenge yourself and do something new while enjoying stunning alpine scenery, fantastic runs and aprés-ski including fondue, live music and lots of laughs. And if you want some non-ski activities, there’s swimming, hiking, sledging, winter trail-running, snowshoeing and more.

You’ll come away renewed, with a fresh perspective and a group of new friends!

Beautiful 4-star family-owned resort

Onsite spa with sauna and whirlpool

Onsite Pilates and fitness classes

Continental breakfasts, with vegetarian and vegan options available

NOON Circle on the slopes

Private group ski instructor

Other activities available, including ice skating, swimming, hiking, sledging, snowshoeing and more

Our instructors

We have wonderful instructors/guides from an English-speaking ski school whom we have used before. We’ll be put into groups based on ability levels – the trip accommodates everyone from beginner to expert, so you’ll be with other people at your level.

Our accommodations

We stay at the Eiger Mountain Resort and Spa, where we stayed last time – the breakfast is delicious and it has an AMAZING spa. It also has the best food in the whole village. We all stay there together, meet for lunch on the mountain and hang out and eat there in the evening.

What’s included

The price includes accommodation in a twin room (sharing), breakfast, all the NOON funs, NOON Circle and a private group ski instructor on all 3 skiing days. (On Friday morning we might take a guide, depending on how many of us are feeling up for it.) The rooms are reserved, the instructors ready – so what are you waiting for?

If you have a buddy you want to share with, please email saying who that is. If you would like to come on your own and share a room, we can pair you up with a NOON Roomie… (a great friend you haven’t met yet). Just let us know.

What to expect

Arrival and welcome: The day commences at the light-filled Wasing Pavilion, where we indulge in tea and engage in meaningful conversations.

Yoga: Then we embark on a serene journey with a gentle breathwork and yoga session led by the talented Lesley Thomas, setting the tone and energy for the day.

A walk to the lake: Next, we’ll take a leisurely stroll through the ancient woodland, leading us to the tranquil lake and sauna area. The Wasing retreat in July is a gorgeous time to immerse yourself in the pristine pure waters, the lush surroundings – and the bliss of alternating between dips in the wood-fired sauna perched on the lake’s edge.

Lunch alfresco: Afterward, we’ll gather around an open fire for a delicious and healthy lunch bowl. With vegetarian and vegan options available, you can savour the flavours and indulge in hot cacao and tea, nurturing your body and spirit.

The Wasing NOON Circle: Once satiated, we’ll find a spot for a transformative NOON sharing circle, facilitated by NOON’s founder, Eleanor Mills. Depending on the weather, this might be outside under a tree or in the Pavilion. Then we’ll delve into discussions on embracing new chapters in midlife and becoming the women we’ve always aspired to be. This sacred space fosters support and compassion, where stories are shared and hearts are heard.

Final goodbyes: As the day draws to a close, we’ll depart thankful for our glorious day together and feeling refreshed, inspired and connected to a new group of friends.

What to bring

Wear loose comfortable gear for yoga and stretching. Bring Wellington boots or walking boots – it can be muddy – and a warm coat, layers of jumpers and a woolly hat. You’ll also need a swimming costume and a towel.

New to cold water swimming?

Fear not! Our attentive team will provide excellent care and supervision. We’ve coaxed the most reluctant and cold-averse in and now they are converts! Additionally, you can luxuriate in the wood-cabin sauna, enjoying the warmth while engaging in friendly conversations with newfound companions, all while admiring the majestic red kites soaring above the forest canopy.
