Strengths and Career change coaching for people who want to be happy in their work and in their life 💛 | Strengths & values coaching > Career Clarity > Career Change Success

💛 Understand what work will make you happy and learn how to find, or create, it.

Understand your strengths, get really clear on your values and what matters to you, and harness your confidence to make the change you need. 

Three typical client scenarios:

⭐"I'm 40 and have a good career. I've worked hard for promotions and I'm really good at what I do. But it's not good for me. It's draining the life from me. I don't believe in this corporate BS and I want to do something that's more meaningful. But what?"

⭐️"I'm only 54 and after redundancy don't feel ready to retire yet. But, I'm tired of the corporate BS that comes with a senior role and can't face more of it. I want to do something I enjoy, with meaning and purpose. I have no idea what that is, or how to figure it out!"

⭐"I've had some experiences, in work and in life, that have knocked my confidence. 
I've lost my self-belief.
I've lost my enthusiasm. I'm constantly questioning what I'm doing, and my decisions.
I need to regain my confidence and my belief in myself."

Do any of these sound like you? 

It's common to not know where to start. To feel overwhelmed.

So I'm here to enable you get to where you need to be.

If you're just starting to think about what to do next, and not yet ready to invest in coaching use my free resources and blogs to get started.

If you want help to figure out your next move, see my website for full details of my coaching programmes and prices, and the free resources: www.strengthscoachingonline.co.uk.

Why choose me as your strengths and career change coach?

⭐ In my corporate career (in Financial services and HR) my favourite work was coaching and mentoring people to understand their strengths and how to develop their careers.

⭐ I've been through redundancy, from the excitement of 'Yes, I'm doing this!' to 'Oh sh*t, what have I done?'

⭐ I've experienced burnout due to poor leadership and toxic culture and managed to regain my sense of self through reconnecting with my strengths, values and what matters to me.

⭐ I've successfully changed my own career, from insurance underwriting to technical L&D to HR and now to running my own business, while living the life I want to.

⭐️ I want as many people as possible to have access to strengths and career change coaching so my programmes are priced to be affordable.

If you want to be happy in your work, DM me.
