You built a career.
Now build your life.

You've been made redundant - or you can feel it coming. The question isn't just what's next. It's who you are when the role disappears.

"I built Uncoded because I went through this myself. Twelve years in tech, a career that looked right on paper, and a growing sense I was performing well for the wrong reasons.

I found a programme that worked - and decided it was too valuable to keep to one person."

Retreat location - the Netherlands

Five days.
One direction.

A residential career programme for professionals in their 30s and 40s who are ready to do the real work.

The standard advice
doesn't touch
the real question.

01

You see the disruption coming - and want to move before the decision is made for you.

02

Your CV is strong. You're just not sure it points in the right direction anymore.

03

You haven't had time to think. Not really. Not without your inbox and your role.

04

You're not looking for career frameworks. You want to understand why this feels bigger than a job change.

05

You have real commitments - mortgage, family, responsibilities. Which makes the question harder to ignore.

06

You've spent years building for an organisation. Now you want to figure out what you'd build for yourself.

Two ways in.
One direction.

Five days.
Five phases of real work.

Day 1 - Monday
Arrival & The Audit

Settle in. Establish trust. Begin the structured audit of where you actually are - role, energy, identity, and what brought you to this point.

Day 2 - Tuesday
Identity & Values

Who are you outside the org chart? We separate what you've been optimising for from what you actually want. Values work, identity mapping, patterns.

Day 3 - Wednesday
The Trajectory

Where does the current path lead? We model your personal operating system and map the conditions in which you actually do your best work.

Day 4 - Thursday
The Decision

Options narrow. One direction becomes clear. We make the call with full information - and build the reasoning you can defend at 3am.

Day 5 - Friday
The Plan

From decision to action. A concrete 90-day plan. What changes, when, and how. You leave with a direction and a first step - not just an insight.

Structured work.
Real outcomes.

Format

A combination of group sessions and individual 1:1 work. Group sessions create shared context and reduce isolation. 1:1 sessions go deeper on what's specific to you.

Who it's designed for

Professionals in their 30s and 40s - in tech, finance, or consulting - who have been made redundant or are at a genuine career crossroads. Not for people who want a lateral move with a better title.

What you leave with

One clear career direction. A concrete 90-day plan. A sharper understanding of how you actually work and what conditions you need to thrive. Not more options. A decision.

Why it's different

Five days of residential immersion removes the noise that makes this question impossible to answer at home. No inbox, no role, no distractions. The work gets done because there is nothing else to do.

The methodology

Built on the Revelion Method - a structured approach to career and identity redesign developed by Julius A. Niehus. Not therapy. Not a workshop. A decision-making intensive that has worked for 70+ senior professionals.

Timing

First edition runs 9-13 November 2026 in the Netherlands. Maximum 9 participants. Investment: €3,450 excl. VAT.

Built on the
Revelion Method.

"You don't have a career problem. You have 100 options. 99 aren't yours. My job is to close the 99 that aren't - then open the one that is, together, with full information."

Julius A. Niehus is the founder of the Revelion Method - a 1:1 career intensive for senior professionals. Eight years at Red Bull International. A 7M€ business built from scratch. Burnout. And then the hard work of building a system that actually answers the question.

The Revelion Method has guided 70+ senior managers, directors and executives across Europe through career crossroads.

The conversation nobody
around you is having.

Next session: Friday 31 July, 11am CET - Free

Being made redundant in your 30s or 40s can feel strangely isolating. People send you job openings. Tell you to update your CV. Move on quickly. But underneath that is often a bigger question: do I even want to go back to the same life I had before?

The Uncoded Hour is a free 45-minute live session held once a month for people navigating redundancy, career disruption, or the feeling that work no longer fits. Each session explores one specific topic - identity after redundancy, ambition, self-worth, fear of starting over, success beyond title, or what happens when the career path you built no longer feels right.

This is not a networking event or coaching webinar. You won't be asked to perform, pitch yourself, or have the answers. The session combines reflection, honest conversation, and practical prompts designed to help you make sense of where you are - and what you might want next.

You'll leave with clearer language for what you're experiencing, a different perspective on your situation, and the relief of being in a room with people asking similar questions.

Sessions are standalone - join any time.

01
Format 45 minutes, live online. One focused topic per session. Open conversation - not a lecture. You can ask questions and participate live.

"If this programme brought me the right insights - why not scale it, and offer it to more people navigating the same thing?"

Twelve years in commercial roles across tech - Eventbrite, Deliveroo, LinkedIn. The career made sense on paper. The growing sense that it wasn't quite right was harder to ignore.

Sometimes the universe makes the decision for you. After being hit by a car and forced into stillness, the next 18 months changed everything: a 10-year relationship ended, a home was sold, I left my corporate job, bought a new apartment in Amsterdam, and started traveling - not to find myself, but to gain clarity on what comes next.

I went through the Revelion Method myself. It gave me the answers I'd been looking for. And every time I described what I was going through, someone said: "I've been thinking the same thing." That's where Uncoded started.
