About
Nothing is certain, yet change in careers is inevitable
Change in careers may be driven on a personal level (for reasons of personal growth, greater work-life balance, a new career, future proofing and/or re-training, greater fulfilment, more meaning or purpose, to fulfil a life-long dream), on a national or global level (COVID-19, environmental, political, economic, legislative, sociological, technological advances), or at an organisational level (a new business strategy, a merger or acquisition, restructuring and redundancies). Change may or may not always be a choice. For some individuals, change in careers represents opportunity, liberation and limitless possibilities, yet for others it can represent a feeling of uncertainty, confusion and concern.
We specialise in empathetically coaching human beings, who are semi-established or well established in their careers, often from small, medium or large organisations across a range of sectors, to prepare for and/or navigate change in their careers comfortably and confidently.
Clients typically come to us for career coaching in light of an aspiration to initiate a career change (even if they are not clear what that is) or are experiencing or have experienced redundancy (whether compulsory or voluntarily) and/or are looking for one to one career coaching and guidance with various job search activities in support of securing that next role.
In our experience of providing career coaching, we understand and recognise that each client thinks, feels and reacts to change or changes in their careers differently. How a client thinks, feels and reacts to change could be the difference between securing or missing that next significant opportunity. Something they cannot afford to miss, particularly in light of these uncertain times.
We help a range of clients from those who have lost self-confidence and find change particularly unsettling and difficult, enabling them to make sense of the changes they have or are facing in their careers as well as helping them to develop their mindset, strategies and tools to effectively navigate change, through to those who are excited by change and are ready to confidently move forwards in view of securing a new role, exploring a career change, or fulfilling a particular career goal or aspiration.
We offer short or long term packages (Journeys), predefined packages and flexible packages, to suit each individual client's needs.
Clients who engage and fully commit to our career coaching services recognise they are making a significant investment in themselves, their careers and their lives not only for now, but for years to come.

Coaching, Consulting and Facilitation
Consulting
Consulting provides guidance and advice to clients primarily experiencing redundancy in order to help them prepare for the job market - psychologically, emotionally and practically. Guidance and advice typically includes help to develop a market ready CV and LinkedIn profile, understanding the job market and how to access job opportunities as well as preparing for an interview. Our services enable clients to feel suitably prepared and equipped in order to navigate the job search journey ahead comfortably and confidently.
A Blend Of Coaching and Consulting
In most instances clients will experience a blend of coaching and consulting approaches in order to meet their needs. However, some journeys will lend themselves more naturally to coaching and others to consulting.
Group Facilitation
We also provide virtual group facilitation, which might be virtual webinars or presentations covering the topics of career change and job search.
Coaching
Coaching is an empowering and creative process. Holding the best intentions for the client, coaching provides the client with a confidential, safe, supportive and creative space which invites curiosity, self-reflection and heightened self-awareness of the whole self (mind, body and emotions). Holding the client fully responsible and accountable for their choices, commitments and actions, and as the expert in their own life, coaching is primarily about helping the client to uncover solutions for themselves in order to fulfil a goal or goals that they may have.
Coaching tends to mainly focus on the present moment and the future, although in some of the career coaching packages there is a need to reflect on past experiences too. It is not consulting, giving advice, mentoring, teaching, therapy, counselling or training.
Coaching techniques, such as questioning, listening, challenging limiting beliefs, reflecting back, re-framing, acknowledgements, etc are used to help them to draw insights and solutions out, to help them connect to their authentic self, to their greatness and potential and to help them navigate the changes in their career in service of reaching their goals.
Coaching services we provide may incorporate a mix of Co-Active Coaching, FireworkTM Career Change Coaching and/or Careershifters Lean Career Change Practitioner coaching approaches.
Journeys
We provide a number of virtual (telephone, Zoom, Skype) one to one coaching and consulting Journeys (packages), that help clients at a human level, to navigate change, or changes in their careers comfortably and confidently in order to fulfil their career goals and aspirations.
Journeys in the main are structured by nature, providing a clear framework of steps, which many clients favour, whereas others offer a degree of flexibility.
Depending on requirements established in an initial no obligation free discovery call, a proposal for services would then be drawn up to include recommendations and pricing.
