I am often asked “career coach vs career counsellor: what’s the difference?” And that’s a great question. Broadly the difference between the two disciplines is this: A counsellor seeks to explore that past, find integration and help you move into your present. Conversely, a coach will work with your “present” to help you to create […]
It’s a natural thing to be curious about starting career coaching what to expect … Most people do show up saying things like “I’ve never done anything like this before” and I guess that until there is a need to then there is no reason to know … So perhaps I can reassure you by giving […]
Here’s My favourite Career coach Quote; “Find out what you like doing best, and get someone to pay you for doing it.” Katharine Whitehorn And, If someone had said that to me a decade ago, I might have thought that they were ”Extracting the Michael”. I was raised to believe that there were certain steps that you took […]
Career coach hourly rate? I don’t charge a career coach hourly rate. That is because, you unless we have a pre-existing relationship, only the smallest increments of changes can be made within an hour. If you’ve reached the stage of considering hiring a career coach, then my guess is that you’re hoping for (or even […]
Career Coach Training: The really important thing about career coach training is knowing it’s not just the qualification, it is the whole life experience, that counts. Of course, I’m trained: I spent a full twelve months training in “Life, Business and Executive coaching”, a further year training in Clinical Supervision, and that’s on top of all that […]

What is the Career coach meaning? Whilst it seems like a daft question, if you know how it really works, then you can decide if its what you need. If you left your degree anytime in the ’90s expecting your career for life and your pension to roll out before you over the next 50 […]
Is it effective to career coach online? My answer is a qualified yes. The ‘qualifying bit’ is that it needs to be coaching with a Human, not a Bot. See “Deep Work” by Cal Newport if you want to know more about the unique depth that humans will need to bring if we are to […]
“What I have learned thus far in business is this: “I will be adult and I will value what I do. I will be transparent and I will discuss my career coach fees”. I say this because, if you want to build a business or engage with a career relaunch, then you too need to […]
Have you come across any career coach experts? In my experience, there is no such bloody thing! If anyone does call themselves a “Career Coach Expert” my advice would be to be very wary. Nobody is more of an expert in your career than you. What you might need are some space-holding, some triggers and nudges, and, […]
