Career Coaching: Tell Me Why I Don’t Like Mondays. When I ask “Do you dread Monday morning?” I don’t mean do you just resent leaving the fun of the weekend behind you? What I’m asking is this: Do you begin to dread the work week starting from Saturday afternoon onwards? Do you get that sinking […]
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: 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: Roles Reversed. I’m seeing something new in our career landscape. I’m seeing men en masse experiencing something that mostly only women saw before. With the pandemic, men have been furloughed or are working remotely and this means they are missing all the mirroring we humans usually benefit from at work. There are fewer […]
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 […]
