Career Coaching: Business is Booming. Before COVID-19 came along, I was working too hard. As I write these words, they have sunk in a little deeper. The business was booming. I was working with up to five clients a day. By the last client of each day, I would feel like I was totally on-it—adrenaline racing […]
Career Coaching: Triggered! I had no idea how hard I find it to ask for help. How did I learn this? I learned this when I needed some minor medical attention from the NHS. Referred to a ‘fast track service’ just before I went abroad for a fortnight, I arrived home to find that my appointment had […]
Career Coaching: Coming Unraveled: As I coach more, whilst my clients are learning about themselves, I too am learning about myself. I always wondered why this was called “A Coaching Practice”??? When would I have finally qualified? And, if you have done any personal development, you too will know that once you have opened the door […]
Career Coaching: Feminine Energy: I’m gonna take a risk here and share a thought. I have coached people for a decade, and a pattern is emerging. I see two types of energy in people’s professional development. I’m talking feminine and masculine energies, and there is a huge benefit in both. Here’s why: Let’s be clear, by masculine […]
Career Coaching: I Cried: Today I met with my Writing Coach, and I cried. She provided affirmation, and gentle challenge on the thousands of words I’d submitted. She offered wisdom regarding ways forward, reminding me of my purpose in setting out to write the book at all. I cried. Why? I cried with gratitude […]

Career Coaching: Endings. I had a final Supervision session with a Practioner today. It was a good session where we celebrated all we had achieved together. She chose to bring the relationship to a close. I know deep down that we have completed an excellent cycle of work. We have parted company honestly and amicably. I […]
Career coaching: Tenderness. Despite the easing of lockdown. The damage has been done. I don’t mean just to our economy, I also mean that the damage has been done regarding how we perceive our selves, our lives, and our work… There isn’t one client who isn’t showing up believing something needs to change with their […]
Career Coaching: Stop! Have you ever got to the end of the day and realised that you never did that thing? Have you ever noticed that the thing that you didn’t do was usually a thing for you? Hey is that? Clients are showing up here in front of me to be coached, having realised that if […]
Career Coaching: Wrong: Have you thought that you might be in the wrong role, sector, or business? If so, you are not alone – Plenty of friends, colleagues, and clients seem to have been having very similar thoughts. Someone emailed me this morning, full of fury at what her boss had chosen to action in […]
