Welcome! I'm Ali Davies, Founder of Outside of the Circle

Over 20 years ago, I felt unfulfilled by the status quo and wanted to make changes to have the freedom to live, work, and do business on my own terms in a way that felt fulfilling and meaningful to me.

So, I decided to create my own definition of success based on my values and what felt most important to me and used that to design my next chapter.

After 14 years in corporate leadership roles with companies like Coca-Cola and Pepsi UK distributors, I took the leap and started my own business in 2001.

Since then, I’ve continued to live, work, and do business on my own terms, moving countries twice and designing each new chapter of life in a way that feels truly fulfilling and meaningful to me.

Creating lasting change isn't always easy. Setbacks and challenges crop up, and there are many mixed emotions to navigate. But I figured out how to overcome all of that and navigate the path of change to get from where I was to where I am today.

Now, I’ve turned my framework and process into The Next Chapter curriculum to help other high-achieving professionals like you navigate change with clarity, confidence, and with the guidance of a practical actionable plan.
