Research has shown that people who are motivated and successful in what they do, most often have careers which showcase what they are good at doing and represent who they are, through personality i.e. passion and core values. Based on this I will focus on getting to know you and what you stand for, and together we can explore your new career options. By thinking outside of the box we can set a roadmap to visualise and implement your new future.
You are perhaps in your late 40s or 50s and looking back on your career to date.
You may be a lawyer or a banker who is feeling burn-out. You have managed to take your children through their education and have a nice home, but you say to yourself: 'it is perhaps to move on and to think about ME'.
You are looking to:
Or you may be like Melinda who was made redundant and wanted to change careers. For over 20 years, she had worked as a professional conveyancer for a large company. She felt the time had come to change, but change to what?
At first, Melinda was so shaken by her redundancy and would not speak to me, let alone meet me. Eventually, we developed a structure for her daily routine – which included getting out of the house, for a swim.
As with most of my clients, we went through her values and identified what was important to her both at work and at home.
Very soon we also determined that Melinda was very numerate and that, perhaps, book-keeping was an avenue worth exploring. At this point, I encouraged her to go to the library to carry out her research, (which all got her out of the house).

All my coaching sessions finish with an Action Plan; Melinda was no exception. Over time, this delightful lady agreed to the following homework :-
During this period, she was also able to meet me in London, – first in the company of her husband or a friend and then on her own. It was at the point that I knew Melinda had overcome her fears and was ready to transition to becoming a book-keeper.
I am happy to report Melinda completed her qualifying course (s) and is now working as a book-keeper for a local accountancy firm.
A new Melinda emerged – one of a confident, fulfilled lady.
Oh, I love my job!
