Career Coach: Résumé. The story of the introvert and the extrovert. I work with both types of individuals, on a daily basis in a career context. The fundamental difference is this: Introverts source their energy from inside of themselves. Extroverts are energised by being around others. They source their energy externally. Introverts ‘need to be […]
Career coaching: Salary. The obvious” con” of the no raise promotion is that there is no pay-rise. Why should you all take on more responsibility and risk for the same pay? Why would you devote more time to learning and up-skilling yourself in order to better another’s business enterprise with no extra remuneration? On the flip-side, […]
Career Coaching Course of Action: Coaching clients show up to work with me with one of two problems: Either, they worked very hard from the beginning to adhere to the Rules and Regulations, and still their career isn’t working out… Or, they were never very engaged with the Rules and Regulations in the first place.

Career Coach Application: Don’t let anyone put you back in your box… Especially yourself. In the face of a combination of excitement and insecurity, we can feel this as fear.

Career Coach Mentor:’ How do we take care of each other at work?’ Was a question asked by a colleague today? Given that all present at this meeting had either been recently bereaved or had this journey looming it seems a very wise question… What I was noticing was this: the Colleague who asked the […]
My absolute best career coach book is this: “Essential Career Transitions Coaching Skills” by Caroline Talbott. It’s awesome. It’s tiny. It’s packed with a multitude of juicy interventions, all with a career bent to them. It’s a modest tome in size. Its author is also disarmingly modest. And, out of all the hundreds of self-help, psychotherapy, supervision […]
Leadership coaching meaning: This question for me focuses less on the types of coaching (which are just a bunch of interventions used at the right time), and more on the type of leadership. Once you know the type of leadership the process of coaching forms itself right around that. Leaders come in a multitude of […]
