Introducing 'The Friendshift Circle
You’ve heard of a ‘friendship circle’ – introducing The Friendshift Circle! A 'friendshift' is what we feel when our friendships change over time. Throughout 2025, we’re going to be bringing together friendly, thoughtful, independent types who are experiencing 'friendshifts.' People who are ready to shake off old connections and habits that aren't serving them any more, and to learn how to build supportive, enjoyable, trust-based friendships with people who like and accept them for who they are now. In The Friendshift Circle, we'll come together to share stories and experiences, laugh together, learn together, grow in confidence, and build exceptional friendships that last. The Friendship Circle is just getting started - join us today and become one of our first Community Builders for a once-in-a-lifetime price that WON'T be repeated.

A Different Kind of Community
The Friendshift Circle is growing into a different kind of membership community.
The vision is a haven, a cosy corner of the internet where those who value depth and authenticity can learn how to build genuine, trust-based connections in a safe, supportive space. where it's normal to talk about friendship. And about our relationships with colleagues, neighbours, family members, and people we've met out and about too. We talk about what's going well, what we're finding difficult, and work out what we need to do differently to deepen our connections with others, and with ourselves.
Sometimes we don't talk - because we know that isn't everyone's cup of tea. You can listen in, explore, take in what others have said, before you jump in.
And that's not all - when you join 'The Friendshift Circle,' you'll be automatically enrolled into 'Confident Connections' - a comprehensive three step, nine module programme from expert friendship coach Hannah Carmichael OBE. Designed to give you everything you need to create and maintain healthy, meaningful friendships, and to overcome obstacles that might get in your way. The first modules are already available, with more being added throughout 2025. As a Community Builder, you'll be able to access these straight away, return to them whenever you like, and help us shape what's in them as well.

Praise for Hannah's Other Courses
"Like no other course I’ve seen! Fantastic course, easy to follow bitesize chunks. Like no other course I’ve seen, refreshingly new perspectives & back-to-basics concepts. It has changed my way of thinking towards small talk & making connections in general. Hannah is very knowledgeable & very supportive - thanks again Hannah, keep spreading the word & doing what you’re doing." Jo, 'Beyond The Surface' course participant, summer 2024
"Without wanting to sound cliche, but Hannah's course changed my life! I went from feeling isolated in a new city to having a vibrant social circle in just a few months." Sarah, Trader, London
"As an introvert, I always struggled with making friends. 'Starting Over' gave me the tools and confidence to put myself out there. I'm amazed at the connections I've made!" - Michael, Marketing, Dusseldorf
Join Other Friendly Introverts and Thoughtful, Reflective Types
You might self-describe as an introvert, or just someone who prefers socialising in smaller groups. You like doing shared activities with the people you care about, alongside having rich, meaningful, interesting conversations.
Most of our members are aged over 30. Many are single and / or live alone, but not exclusively. We have plenty of people joining the community who are in relationships too. Some of our community identify as neurodivergent, some live with chronic health conditions. We come from all walks of life, and from all over the world.
The thing we all have in common is that our friendships have changed (or are changing) in some way. Perhaps as a result of significant events in our own lives (such as separation or divorce, retirement or bereavement), or because other people's lives are changing around us (e.g.: friends settling down and having children). Leaving us with fewer people in our contacts list than we'd ideally like to have, with too many surface-level connections and not enough close, local friends with whom to share life's ups and downs.
Whatever their starting point, our members are thoughtful, curious, and have an appetite for learning. Some are starting to explore a more spiritual side of themselves too. All of us like ideas that can be put into practice, we like concepts to be broken down and explained, and step-by-step guidance. And we all share a keenness to get to the heart of how healthy, trust-based connections get made.

How It Works
'The Friendshift Circle' and 'Confident Connections' will work together to form a complete learning experience.
Each month throughout 2025, we'll release new modules of 'Confident Connections.' You can work through these in your own time, with the option to attend live classes, workshops and discussion groups themed around the module to support your learning. Then move on to the next module, and the next, and so on. Over time looking at everything from what's working well - and what's not - in your friendship circle at the moment, to clarifying and communicating your friendship wants, needs and expectations, to finding 'green flag' people with real friendship potential, and making a strong start in pursuing these connections. We'll tackle the 'big fears' (including the fear of rejection) head on, and give you the skills your need to overcome common friendship challenges, hold clear boundaries, build depth and authenticity into your relationships, and to nurture your connections into healthy, fulfilling friendships. Over in 'The Friendshift Circle, we'll hold weekly live coaching calls / Q&As, as well as regular special interest group sessions (including a 'friendships in later life group for those aged 55+) where we'll meet to talk, ask questions, practice our skills, and share anything that's on your mind. Here's the events schedule for January 2025 as an example of how this all comes together.

Praise for Hannah
"I could not praise Hannah any higher. Hannah's personality and down-to-earth, caring nature stood out. She has a real-life view of the world and delivers content in an authentic and empathetic way." Alex Mann, People and Culture Coordinator and former course participant
"I didn't really know what I was looking for when I met Hannah and started working with her. I felt like my life was 'under control' but ultimately something was missing. Despite dozens of friends, I often felt alone and like noone really understood me. I really didn't know what to expect, but can't recommend Hannah highly enough. You literally have nothing to lose." Vincenta Adams, 32, London, Former Coaching Client
“Hannah is the queen of space-holding, compassion, connection and depth. She is able to meet you where you are in life, and honours you and your experience by truly seeing you.”
Noelle Johnson, 44, colleague and coaching client (Sydney, Australia)
