Career Coaching – Relaunching. Many people are showing up here discontented with how their careers are right now. Many of them showed up to their careers advice session at school with high aspirations. Only to have their aspirations, of being barristers, authors, journalists dashed. To be told it ‘wasn’t possible’, that ‘It wouldn’t make money‘, […]
Career Coaching: Do What You Love. A client said yesterday ‘are you treating me like a normal client, Rebecca?”. I stopped taking notes and responded ‘what makes you ask that?”. She said, “well, I didn’t know this would be enjoyable… are we actually getting any work done?” To be fair we had just been giggling, However, This question! After […]
Career Coaching: Routines: So, when the shit hits the fan in your world, what do you do? I’m noticing a good trait in my world. When the shit hits the fan here, when I know I’m in for a stint of it, I double down on my self-care routines. What does that mean? It means putting […]
Career Coaching: Body-Swerving Burnout: I am an absolute Daemon for being stoic and ‘pushing on through’. Now what I’m learning is when I need to quit! Sitting at my desk yesterday I was overcome by a surge of exhaustion. I looked at the client notes needing typing up, the 60,000 words of the book that needed […]
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.

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: What’s Next? This morning has consisted of a flurry of emails and calls from existing and new clients wanting to resume or begin coaching. What’s happened? I think that mostly, we are all beginning to recognise that life will never be the same again and secondly that life must go on anyway. With Lockdown, […]
