Career Coaching: Do What You Love. I get people coming to work work with me, saying things like “I’m not good at XY&Z and I need to work on that”. I think this is an erroneous approach. This is the legacy that our education system has left us with, their remit is to give everyone a […]
Leadership Coaching: Experience. Have you ever noticed that excellent leaders are often quite quiet? Why is that so you think? I suspect that this is because they are secure enough to listen. It’s taken me a few decades to recognise that ‘he who shouts loudest’, might indeed get his own way. However, he who shouts loudest might […]
Career Coaching: Destiny. What do you do when you know you have the ability to do great things, and yet, You are stymied every which way you turn? What if you know you have valuable feedback work but it is never heard? What if you can see the bigger picture and can clearly see what’s […]
Career Coaching: Progression. On the whole, there is little point for most individuals to be having career coaching before they reach their 30s. Why? Because there is probably not yet enough professional history for us to work with in order to define your future. There are of course exceptions to this rule, but they are […]

Leadership Coaching: Procrastination arises in many forms. One form of procrastination is “busyness”. Have you ever noticed just how easy it is to tackle small jobs … only to discover that you have completely ignored ( skimmed over, gone into denial about, put off …!), the big thing that’s staring you in the face? The […]
Career Coaching: “Lucky”. Have you come across those people who just seem to land on their feet? Those that go for promotion and always get it? Those who consistently earn well without seeming to put much energy in? Those who even if they get made redundant, have a new job within days? Those who appear […]
Leadership coaching: What Next? What if you know you are a leader but you don’t know where to put yourself next? You’ve led projects. you’ve lead teams. You’ve led change. You’ve enabled stuff to happen out in the world & you’ve seen the results … What next? What’s your next challenge? Its time to find out […]
Leadership Coaching: Firsts. There is a Jungian belief that we have all we will ever need around us. And, that we can only access when we are ready. If you are new to a leadership role then you might be asking questions about your suitability for this role? What makes us ready to access all these […]
