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: 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!

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 […]
Career Coaching: Take Your Time! I am SUCH a “human-doing”!!!!! Honestly, I plow on, until I literally hit the wall! And my husband looks at me in dismay as I am surprised by this outcome all over again! Last night I was stopped in my tracks and I took what is for me, a RADICAL choice. […]
Career Coaching: Ask! As a Northerner, I was brought up with the belief that ‘If you don’t ask, you don’t get’. However, as a woman, I was raised to believe that I had to ‘be a good girl’ and to be wait to be invited. I have never known how to square that circle. I have […]
