Career Coaching: Explained. Here a client of mine describes her experiences of career coaching with a Daemon to a potential client. Unsurprisingly, after these words of recommendation, they have come on board. I thought it might be interesting to have glimpse into this work from a client’s perspective … 1) What were your expectations of […]
Career Coaching: Reflection In this fast-paced, multiple-identity-juggling, demonstrate-your-worth-relentlessly culture. When do you take the chance to reflect on the things you have done? In my opinion, it is a rare phenomenon. In my opinion reflecting is a skill well worth cultivating. Often a client will show up saying ‘ I wondered whether to come as […]
Leadership Coaching: Comfort Zone. As a leader, how easy is it to ask someone to do something you wouldn’t. I don’t mean something you aren’t technically trained to do and thus couldn’t. Here I am referring to asking someone to do something that you would be too afraid of trying to take the risk. I […]

Leadership coaching: Transformational. So what I’m about to suggest is a scary thing to me. It is perhaps frightening to those of you who have felt ownership of their business, organisation or project. Transformational Leadership is an empowering thing, however, it does mean you have to let go of the reigns. What we have been […]
Career Coaching: Permission. One of the roles of a career coach is that of granting permission. Permission to what? Permission to do this career-thing in the way YOU want. Often we arrive in our adulthood and we are absolutely full of ‘shoulds & oughts’. You may have been absolutely playing by ‘the rules’ for years. […]
Career Coaching: Promotion. You are enough. A question clients are often asking themselves, and me, when they show up here, is this: “What value do I bring to the business?” On the back of a promotion, Imposter Syndrome can really kick in.
