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 […]
Career Coaching: Coached. I am allowing myself to be coached. Oh My Goodness is it brilliant! I had forgotten how incredible it is to have someone witness for me. To have someone fully in my corner. To mirror me and to challenge me when I get stuck. This coach doesn’t coach as I do. She’s different. […]
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?

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: Who’s on Your Team? My business rule is “Don’t try and do it alone”. The image of the sole-trader, the founder, and the entrepreneur is often a lonesome one. Not true in my opinion. In fact, if isolation IS a truth, the longevity of any enterprise is likely to be limited. If you have […]
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‘, […]
