Career Coaching: What Do You Do? Yesterday I was asked this question and my answer was this: “In my career coaching, I lead people astray – off the beaten path and home to themselves and the professional person they were born to be.” And then, on a strategic level, I bring the knowledge that wielding the […]
Career Coaching: Who will you NOT let down? So, there are only two ways I know of doing a scary thing. One is to decide you’re going to do it and two is to tell people you’re going to do it…. then, you have to show up! I have discovered that I WILL let myself down, […]
Career Coaching: Growth. “If you’re comfortable, you’re not growing,” says my business coach, and I know he’s right. Calvin Coolidge says, “All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work“ Saturday, (yes, the bank holiday weekend!) I decided I was going to bite the bullet and […]
Career Coaching: Reflection. How often do you take time to reflect before making a decision? I only ask this because yesterday I found I had got myself into a bit of a pickle. This is because I had not walked my own talk! There is a five-year business vision rolling out before me, that involves […]
Career Coaching: Stuck. So, you have discovered you don’t like your current job. You have an idea of what you’d like to do next…. and…. You. Are. Stuck. It’s not a nice feeling is it? Dreading the work each morning, although at least you don’t have to show it to everyone now you are working […]

Career Coaching: Time for Change? Imagine this: Remote working has shown you that it is possible to do your job from ANYWHERE in the world! Just imagine… you could work on a sun-drenched Cretan beach or sitting by a cool lake in Austria, or even on a snowy mountain top. Imagine being able to swim, or […]
Career Coaching: Heal Thyself. Guess what I have done. I have is spent 6 months taking my own advice (!!!!), and I have surrounded myself with people and groups aligned to my purpose… I have a business coach, a branding strategist, an accountability partner. A peer coach. A mentor, two supervisors (one Shamanic and one Clinical) […]
Career Coaching: Your Future-Self. Does it feel like time is elastic to you? Looking back, I now recognise that I have had glimpses of my future-selves in the past. Then I have pinged straight back to where I was, a bit bemused at the potential I have seen, and continued as normall and pretended it had […]
Career coaching: Your Answers Are Inside. When trying to birth a true business or career pathway, patience is essential. You see it’s really easy to meet someone else’s brief. It’s really easy to show up and do what needs doing – it’s so obvious what needs doing. When letting your true pathway emerge you have to do […]
