Coaching For Careers

Why should anyone consider coaching for careers? I have a firm belief that once you know where you want to go, you will get there. The problem is that, sometimes, we just don’t know what we want. Is the the title and the fancy office? Or would we really be happier with a less stressful lifestyle career? Do you want a more meaningful, even altruistic career? Or maybe is this a passing phase and you’ll “settle down” and be content with what you have?

I’m not here to answer these questions for you. However, I can guide you through a process that will help determine what it is you really want to do, and then create a strategy that will make it happen.

My USP is my previous background in PR and marketing. This means that I can help you position yourself, raise your profile and put yourself in the absolute best position to get the job you want, or move into a more satisfying career that lines up with who you truly are.

I am a career psychologist and coach

This means that I can offer insights into your own personality traits, strengths and behaviours. Together we can create a bespoke plan that suits you, not your colleague or the person next door. A strategy for a risk-taking extrovert who loves holding the attention of the room will never be the same for a creative introvert. This is not a one size fits all approach.
