About me

Work plays such a big part in our lives and can have an impact not only on our emotional health but on our physical health, relationships and general enjoyment of life too.

Mid life can throw up a myriad of challenges. Whether you are feeling stuck and wondering what it's all for, are facing a tough situation and don't know how to handle it or want to find a job that is right for you, you have come to the right place. Even the strongest among us can feel lost, unsure, frustrated, or unhappy at times.

As a qualified Career, Leadership & Personal Coach with over 16 years experience, I support you to understand and manage whatever your working life throws at you, and how to do it successfully.

My coaching support is totally tailored to you and your situation.

Here are just some of the ways I can help:

* Re-ignite Your Confidence: If your confidence has taken a knock, or you're feeling overwhelmed, undervalued or at a crossroads, get in touch. This programme is designed so that you can believe in yourself again, have courage and take the positive action needed to realise your potential.

*Redundant Not Out!: Redundancy can be devastating or exciting, leaving you feeling numb or angry. There is no right or wrong reaction to being told that your job is being made redundant, you feel how you feel and that's ok. Your job has played an important part in your everyday life and now that security is being taken away from you. Whether you have volunteered for redundancy or not, there is a big wide world out there and I'm here to help you navigate it.

* Get the new job you really want: Whether by choice or not, if it's time to move on from your current job I can help you do just that Practical and proven support to help you land your next role- CV, LinkedIn, Interview Confidence, Presentation Skills. You choose the topics you'd like help with so you only pay for what you need.

*Professional Skills/Career Development: From our initial consultation we'll create a personalised development plan focusing on the skills and behaviours you need to achieve success and enjoy what you do. If you are taking on a new role, feeling "in at the deep end", want to get better at managing your team or yourself, or have an eye on promotion, let's talk.

Typical Skill Areas:

- Communication Skills
- Assertiveness
- Time Management
- Problem Solving
- Building Resilience
- Managing Change

* SHIFT: Career and Life Makeover We all face events or points in our lives when we're pulled up sharp, find ourselves at a crossroads and craving something different. Perhaps you have been made redundant, lost a loved one or hit a significant birthday. Maybe you are considering retirement. Each of these situations can create a lot of soul-searching. Whatever the catalyst, now is the time to re-energise, re-focus, stop just existing and start living!

We work together through a structured programme to help you discover what it is you want and need, explore the type of work that suits you best, the lifestyle that you would like, create a plan to get you there including the practicalities and how to move from dreaming to doing.
