Career Coaching and You

Do you feel you are at a crossroads in your life?

Do you feel you are not fulfilling your true potential?

Are you ready to discover what you really want in your heart of hearts?

Perhaps you are an ambitious and successful person. Successful people are often perfectionists and push themselves beyond reasonable limits. Perhaps you are feeling isolated, stressed or lacking focus. Through life and career coaching you stand back and make a realistic assessment of your whole life. The process gives you permission to uncover meaningful priorities, look at new options, and achieve more with less effort.

Ask yourself, when all is said and done, what do I want my life to have been about? Is it time to re-ignite the spark?

Firework Career Coaching Programme

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Mark Twain

My ground breaking Career Coaching Programme aims to help you take a journey from uncertainty about your present career and not knowing what your next step might be, through to having a clear vision of a career that is absolutely right for you, and a plan for how to create it. Together we will clarify what you want in your life as a whole as well as in your work.

I have written, researched and developed the Firework Career Coaching Programme with a colleague. It has been carefully tailored using research into best practice in career evaluation and transition, backed up by our considerable experience as life and career coaches. I now train and licence other coaches to deliver my Firework Programme.

What is unique about this programme is that it draws on your own innate resourcefulness to help you identify an exciting and viable new career direction. The programme provides a framework for the coaching in the form of interesting and engaging exercises which will bring out your own creativity and resourcefulness and direct it toward discovering the right next step for your working life.

Research shows that those who are most satisfied and motivated by their work are in careers which reflect who they really are; careers which reflect their true nature and their real passions; careers which draw on their innate strengths and employ their favourite skills; careers which allow them to honour their deeply-held values. When you are inspired and motivated by your work, you spring out of bed each morning, eager to get going.

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do.  If you haven't found it yet, keep looking.  Don't settle.  As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.  And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.  So keep looking until you find it.  Don't settle.  Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.  Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking.  Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.  And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.  They somehow already know what you truly want to become.  Everything else is secondary."
Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computers

My pioneering Career Coaching Programme is a structured coaching process which will enable you to ignite your potential. You will clarify who you are – your values, your personality, your interests, your strengths. Step by step we work together to discover where to direct your talent and energies, and then we create an action plan which represents your chosen career path.

Your commitment

To get the full benefit of my Career Coaching Programme you are required to make a big commitment in terms of time, finances and energy but the rewards are great. My clients tell me they find the process exciting, interesting and life changing (please read my testimonials). The investment of time is normally a minimum of three months and the financial investment is £390 per month. This includes three forty-five minute coaching sessions each month, unlimited short calls, emails and all coaching programme materials. You may choose to have further additional coaching to work on other aspects of your life, to set up a business or to move into your new career.

If you prefer not to follow a structured programme, we can discuss a more flexible package, or fewer sessions per month. If you opt for one session or two sessions per month the terms are pro rata.

What I can do for you

Have you ever felt that what you would really like is someone to work with you to define your aims, plan how to achieve them and encourage you as you take action to create change? As your coach, that’s what I will do. There is no other place in your life where you are heard like you are heard by your coach. I have excellent coaching skills. I also have considerable experience working with people who feel they are at a crossroads in their life and who want to feel motivated and energised, rather than stuck. Providing focus and encouragement, I support you to clarify and expand your vision of what is possible. I work with you to develop career and life purpose and to navigate a different river. In the quest for success, results and financial reward may not be enough. Authenticity, balance and well-being are vital building blocks on the path to a more fulfilling life.

As an ideas person I welcome the opportunity to brainstorm with you to explore your ideas and how to take them forward!
My service as a coach includes a "one stop shop". This means you use me as a resource. I can assist you to access many other services through my own wide network.

I also offer feedback on your CV as well as interview preparation coaching.

If you are still not sure whether you are ready for coaching but would like to talk over your options, do please contact me.
