Dr Tony Bradshaw set up Biosocius in 2015 and MyFuturePlan in 2018 and has since worked with more than 1000 individuals across around 100 organisations in biotechnology, academia and the wider bioscience ecosystem.
What could the next stage of your bioscience career become?
Career decisions in bioscience are rarely straightforward.
You may be considering your first major career transition, wondering whether to remain in academia, exploring opportunities in biotechnology, thinking about a different role or simply questioning whether your current direction still feels right.
Later in a career, the questions can be different but equally significant.
Changing organisations, longer working lives and technologies such as AI mean that experienced professionals may also need to rethink where their skills, knowledge and experience can have greatest value.
My work helps bioscience professionals navigate these transitions with greater clarity, confidence and connection.
What is MyFuturePlan?

MyFuturePlan (MFP) is a career transition programme focused on building self-awareness and accelerating personal skills development.
We use a combination of group online and face-to-face sessions, MyFuturePlan 1 & 2.
Other Services
MyFuturePlan
Individual
Expanding upon the main MyFuturePlan programme, MFP Individual provides a deeper dive into areas such as emotional intelligence and personal resilience supported by psychometric tools. The sessions often follow MFP1 & 2 but you can access directly individual coaching which is delivered online.
An important part of the business has been working directly with CEOs of small biotechnology companies to develop staff engagement strategies. This work draws on the combination of bioscience-sector knowledge, coaching experience, organisational insight and an understanding of the challenges facing growing biotechnology companies.

Coach Approach
My approach to coaching was formed during the Henley Business School Certificate in Coaching in 2012 (Grade A+). I have subsequently trained with Nancy Kline in Time to Think and am a Firework licensed coach.
Everyone is unique and talented, and my approach helps coachee’s define and channel their preferred approach to work considering their technical skills, experience and personality to realise their ambition.
I specialise in coaching people early in their career because they get less attention and the impact can be fast and tangible. They may be stuck and want an impartial perspective on their strengths and opportunities or be leading a team for the first time and want to build their managerial confidence.
At a more senior level coaching focusses on enhancing the performance of leadership teams in small companies.
The majority of coaching assignments involve psychometric assessment around personality, emotional intelligence and personal resilience.
10 Fully Funded Sessions Each Year
I offer 10 fully funded one-hour career development coaching sessions each year for early-career bioscientists who might otherwise have difficulty accessing specialist coaching.
I particularly welcome interest from neurodivergent early-career bioscientists and others who may experience additional barriers to accessing career-development support.
These are genuine one-hour coaching sessions, not introductory sales calls.
No psychometric is included and there is no obligation to undertake further coaching.
