Career Coaching Hub

💗 I'm delighted to extend a special invitation for a COMPLIMENTARY Career Consulting or Career Coaching workshop. 

This exclusive package includes a 60-minute session following an initial 30-minute Discovery Call, totalling 90 minutes of personalised guidance, to a select group of candidates who commit to working EXCLUSIVELY with me through Research Talent Hub. Please ping me to find out more! 💗

What's the main difference between Career COACHING and Career CONSULTING?

Imagine you are learning how to ride a bicycle. 🚲

A Career Consultant would ride a bike for a while and give you 'How to Manual', aka a successful Job-Hunting strategy or tactics for writing a winning CV, LinkedIn Optimisation or how to wing that Interview!

A Transformational Career Coach would get you on the bicycle and walk alongside you, guiding you through the process until you feel confident enough to ride on your own!

CAREER CONSULTING might be better for you if you need to achieve your career goals quickly and with minimum fuss. I use various career consulting services that give you the tools for success.

CAREER COACHING is your longer-term investment to achieve your career goals. I will guide and inspire you so you can kick start achieving more of your personal and professional goals.

Transformational Career Coach 

Lipton Fleming (now Source)

Launched, developed and successfully run Market Research Agency focused recruitment practice at Lipton Fleming building on personal, long-established clients and candidates’ relationships in the market research industry.

Helped to plan and manage the careers of many talented qualitative and quantitative researchers and insight/social media intelligence & research operations professionals at all levels. 

I've met a lot of amazing and inspiring people in the industry. Thank you for allowing me to help you achieve your long-term goals: your success represents my success as a market research recruiter.

Made a lot of market research/insight/brand consultancies and media owners genuinely happy. I introduced amazing talent to their teams (I am very proud of this)! We've worked closely together to achieve it though (you have to) and had some great appointments as a result.

Market Research & Insight - Managing Consultant

Boyce Recruitment

Established and run a highly successful Market Research/Consumer Insight division to broaden Boyce Recruitment offering in the market place. 

I have successfully placed market research & insight professionals at all levels from Graduate Trainee to Managing Director into a broad range of consultancies, client companies and agencies in Research/Insight/Consultancy or Field/Operations/Data Processing positions. 

Provided market & career consultancy to clients and candidates within the market research/insight/analytics industry including market/salary/competitors assessment briefings and CV & Interview Surgery meetings.

Networked at various industry related events including Research Conferences or MRS Members evenings.

Developed a detailed knowledge of market research and market research recruitment issues through appropriate reading, seminars, networking events and practical experience.

Senior Market Research & Insight Consultant

Harrods

As Harrods Executive Management Trainee I was fortunate enough to work across different teams and participated in their structured post-graduate retail study programme. I enjoyed learning new skills and continuously adapting to the needs of diverse teams. I received an on-going training across different areas of the business including Recruitment & HR, Marketing, Sales, Seasonal Events & Project Management. 

Some of the things I’ve accomplished: 

Worked in Recruitment & HR division, gaining experience in interviewing techniques including Competency Based Interviewing. Learned HR policies & procedures including Discipline & Grievance, Sickness, Maternity & Absence and Equal Opportunities etc.

Undertook an independent project investigating the opportunities for marketing Whitehall’s beauty rooms. Analysed managers’ approach to acquisition & retention, financial performance, the appeal of rooms and competition. Recommendations included innovative concepts aimed at promoting beauty rooms.

Executive Management Trainee (Graduate Trainee Scheme)

I am not just a recruiter; I am a strategic partner, the antipode to your hiring headaches in the market research, insights, res-tech, innovation or ESG strategy, and brand-led growth consulting sectors. 

Proudly partnering with some of the world's most innovative companies, I specialise in CRITICAL, CONFIDENTIAL and CHALLENGING HIRES that drive progress in research, transformational business strategy, and innovation.

If you had to work on a 'no win, no fee' basis, the quality of your work would probably be poor.

Research Director, Consultancy Partner, Managing Director, Founder — whatever you do for a living, you and your team provide your clients with expertise so they don't need to do it themselves. You respond to their needs and deliver projects professionally. And you are held responsible for that service.

Recruitment is often not like that.

To be fair, a no-win-no-fee approach CAN work in recruitment - for relatively straightforward, low-level hires, your 'doers' in the team if you want it fast, and there is less at stake for a bad hire. 

But for strategic, high-level, senior, confidential or niche hires with fee generation or management - you need to approach it as you would do any professional project. You need to trust a skilled expert who will plan your project, deliver it and be accountable to you throughout the entire process. 

Also, it helps that I have over 15 years of knowledge and experience in strategic talent acquisition and career consulting/coaching in market research & insights, innovation strategy, brand growth strategy consulting, and increasingly in AI-led Insights Platforms & ESG strategy (and many highly inspirational, long-term partners!). You will be in safe hands.

I have alway had an entrepreneural spirit. I started from an early age. I got into coding and programming by chance and love it. I setup Cocoonfxmedia Ltd on the 16th June 2010. 

At that point it was evenings and weekends developing the company. In November 2011 after an awful day at the corporate I was working at I decided to go full time with Cocoonfxmedia. Month 1 my car engine blew and wiped out any spare cash I had. I just drove forward and kept going. 

Cocoonfxmedia is now an award winning carbon Neutral web design and web development company based in the UK. If it online we can build and market it. We have helped all sizes of businesses from Personal Trainers to Global Brands. We work across many industry sectors from Logistics to Healthcare. 

We’ve developed our own property crm / e-commerce cms and Carbon calculators for Logistics industry.

In 2020 during the pandemic we put our expertise in the Logistics industry with 3 other partners decided to setup CocoonFMS Ltd which specialises in #logistics software providing a one stop shop for digitalising the supply chain. 

I have also helped the local business community by being President of the Lichfield & Tamworth Chamber of Commerce. In which I was elected for 2.5 terms (5 years). I also sat on the Great Birmingham Chamber of Commerce Council for the same period.

Both Companies are also signatories to the Prompt Payment Code. #payin30days We’ve moved the company to be carbon neutral by offsetting.

Specialties: #Logistics,#Marketing, Web Design, Social Media,#SEO,#Webdevelopment

Outside of work I am a big F1 fan and love films
