Career Coaching: Confidence comes through doing “It”. Confidence does not magically arrive by talking about it, or thinking about it, or even from writing about it. Confidence through taking the risk, actually DOING it, and then reflecting to work out what you need to do differently next time. Whatever learning style you believe you have, […]
Career Coaching: lockdown 2.0. What do you need to do to be your best human and your best professional self during these locked-down times? Life in lockdown 2.0 is full of the same shifts and changes we experienced with lockdown 1. What is perhaps different is that we have gotten faster at adapting. We know we […]
Career Coaching: Encouragement. Here’s a little letter I wrote for some gentle encouragement today. I hope it helps you if you too are feeling overwhelmed. ___ “I wanted to let you know that I hear you. I hear your ‘defeated’ and the exhaustion that lies beneath that. There are good reasons for this: It is time to […]
Career Coaching: Upscaling your career or business is exciting and upscaling is also a terrifying thing. So what’s the way to take good care of yourself whilst you take the next steps? Humans usually need to be quite uncomfortable before they will make changes. People like to think that they welcome change and innovate. In […]
Career Coaching: Sovereignty. There’s a type of client who shows up here who has no notion whatsoever of their incredible value.

Career Coaching: Persistent Need. What do you do when you have a persistent need to do or achieve something when everyone around you is telling you to ‘get a proper job’ In my experience you do what you need to do anyways – that’s what I learned. Many, many people told me that it was […]
Career Coaching: Alchemy. Today I witnessed as a client worked their way through a tricky time in their life. By the end of the session, they had worked out that this tricky-bit had given them their gift. As painful as it was to see, it was so good to see this outcome. I can say the same […]
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: 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 […]
