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.

Career Coaching: Healing! What I’m noticing is that this pandemic is bringing up SO much healing for people ^^^ What’s that got to do with your career or business? Well, in my experience, when people show up for career coaching, take the lid off, and the real difficulty sometimes lies somewhere else. That doesn’t mean […]
Career Coaching: Feel the Fear… If you’re scared of doing something, then I have a solution for you. The remedy for fear (and yes DO feel it and do it anyway), Is to set a deadline. This deadline, set publicly, will force you to show up and do the thing. I have a fundamental restructuring and growth […]
Career Coaching: Total Freedom – It’s intriguing that when we have total freedom, how difficult it is to decide what to do! Who knew? I don’t know about you, but, when things are really busy with the boy and the business, I can find myself wanting to shrug all these responsibilities off all at once. Speaking with someone […]
Career coaching: Innocence The way to innovate is, I have discovered, by stepping into innocence. And, that is EXACTLY the opposite of what I believed. I thought I had to bring ALL my knowledge and experience to a situation to solve it. When in fact, I’m finding I need to do the opposite. What I need […]
