Career coaching

You feel stuck, unsure of the next step in your career. I can help you to find clarity and make a plan that excites you.

It can be frightening to go for a promotion, apply for a new job, or change career entirely. Coaching makes it possible to make those big shifts deliberately, and with confidence. With the support of career coaching, you can harness that fear, convert it to energy, and make the big, juicy choices that will lead you to that all-important next step.

Throughout my career I've applied for and gotten jobs that were a big stretch for me. I've been promoted multiple times, and I've interviewed candidates for a wide range of jobs, from entry-level assistant roles to heads of department. I understand how to navigate the world of work, and can help you to do the same.

Career coaching can help with a range of changes, including:

  • Taking stock of your career to date, and learning from what's gone before.

  • Auditing your current role: what works, what doesn't, what do you need from your next step?

  • If you want a new job:
    - determining which roles to apply for, and tailoring your CV and covering letter to give you the best possible chance of getting that interview!
    - Preparing for each stage of the interview process with confidence.

  • Starting a new job with purpose, clear on what you do and don't want to devote your time and energy to.

  • Moving into your first line management position.

  • Stepping up to lead a team for the first time.

  • Drilling down into that itchy feeling you have about your career: there's something else you want to pursue, but is now the time to do it? And if so, where do we start?

Testimonial

"The very best version of myself"

"I came to Helen when my confidence was extremely low. After several unsuccessful job interviews and a grievance at work, I felt completely lost and in need of some guidance. Helen was patient, encouraging and thoughtful, helping me to bounce back and find a vacancy I was passionate and excited to apply for. By the time the interviews came around, Helen had me feeling like I could accomplish anything! The tips and techniques she taught me really helped me to show my passion and experience and I wowed the panel and got the job! I'd thoroughly recommend Helen's coaching to anyone. She's a great listener, fun to talk to and will help you find your sparkle."
