A career coach is there to guide you through the process of transition to whatever your desired goal could be.
Career coaching isn't just about finding the right degree, indeed, a degree isn't necessarily the right career path for everyone. We believe it's about finding the right path for the individual.
The amount of self-doubt we can feel when something goes wrong at work, or we make a mistake, can be paralysing for some people.
Our sessions together will identify the golden threads, sense check your ideas, and most importantly, leave you with an action plan to achieve your Ikigai.
If you have to fight through endless falsities that come from the 'world-and-his wife' being able to call themselves a Coach, there is a significantly greater chance that you will be drawn in by false promises of a well-marketed option, rather than the right option for you.
This isn't a career quiz that spits out a random job with no meaning.
This is to guide you towards a career you'll love, that can provide you with the security you need.
What is it that makes you happy? What's your 'offer', your skills, your approach? What's the key to waking up every morning and being happy with the working day ahead? Career happiness is key. If you love your work, you’ll never work a day.
How many times have you been trying to enjoy your Sunday when all you can do is think about, and dread, the fact that Monday marches ever closer and brings with it another week of work.

She’s always been a great mum, but she has definitely always put her role of ‘mum’ and ‘wife’ first. Any career aspirations she may have had, were firmly kept on the back burner.
My client highlighted that I’d been offering guidance, support and advice far beyond the remit for which I’d been hired. I’d stepped into the roles of coach, guide, mentor, and champion…
My career has been full of training courses, consultancy sessions and workshops. However, for a long time, I have been the one stood at the front of the room, conducting the session. Last month, the tables were turned, and for the first time in a VERY long time, I was part of the audience.
A guest post from Steve Bellew, who talks about his adventure into a new phase of his career. He discusses the importance of support during times of change, and the power of others recognising your strengths; even when you can’t see them yourself!
Confession time.... I am one of those entrepreneurs who has been terrible at self-development in the past. I have been guilty of not focusing on myself, and not taking time or making the investment in me.
My advice to anyone who is dealing with challenges, in their personal or business lives, is to channel positivity. Don’t let negativity win. Maintaining positivity does take focus and attention though; it’s not easy.
