Harnessing the power of inner sustainability, systems awareness and adaptable leadership to achieve effective outcomes through complex challenges, with high performance and high wellbeing.
Design your desired future to align with your values, purpose and aspirations to set yourself up for success on your terms, including balance, fulfilment and high wellbeing.
You may know where you want to get to, be ambitious and have clear, focused aspirations yet you may be experiencing barriers (whether externally, in the system or within yourself). You you may be preparing for promotion, stepping up a leadership level or stepping into management for the first time, and would like support to get there more effectively.
Many of the fabulous people I work with feel they are no longer clear on where they want to get to in their career. You may be feeling stuck, adrift, overlooked, under-valued, no longer at one with your current role, perhaps at a cross-roads and want support to uncover and explore potential options.
I work with many managers who want support to progress in their current career direction. Some are looking to step up to more senior roles and want to prepare effectively for smooth transitions and successful interviews. Some have already been promoted but not provided with the leadership development to support them, so they’re feeling stressed, pulled in many directions, not enjoying the work and not happy with where they are just now. Some find they’ve reached a plateau after steady progression earlier in their career and their line manager is not supporting their aspirations for the next step. Do any of these situations resonate with you? Coaching will help you gain clarity and focus, including aligning with your personal values and purpose, enhancing your leadership presence, being authentically influential, and much more that will support you through these challenges to achieve your aspirations.
I also work with many people, including managers through to senior executives, who find themselves at a crossroads, perhaps feeling stuck and simply not enjoying their work as they used to. But they don’t know what they would do instead. Just that this isn’t working, and it is not fulfilling. Does that resonate at all? Don’t worry, you can shape your future and regain your vitality and passion for life and work.
Many of us fall into a job after leaving university or school, and then end up staying in that sector because it’s what we know and where the opportunities have come. If that’s you and you’re realising that even though you can do this well, you’re not really enjoying it or not finding it stimulating now, then know you are not alone!
Our work takes up so much of our daily life, we deserve to be doing something that we enjoy in a place where we feel good about ourselves, valued and respected, and we can connect with the people around us. Sometimes that means taking a step out to reflect on what you really do want, what is important to you and how you will recognise an organisation that aligns with your values. When you invest your time and effort into this deeper reflection, you are highly rewarded with shaping the future that you truly desire.
Why not revisit those childhood dreams of what you wanted to do when you grow up… while you may no longer be fuelled by the same vision, most of us find there is still some essence of those dreams that we’re missing in our later life. We have only one life, and only you have the power to make the most of your own life. You can tap into your power by recognising the choices available that very often we’ve not noticed or not allowed ourselves to consider.
Are you ready to ‘grow up’ now and fulfil those dreams? If not now, When?

Take Control of Your Career workshops support staff in your organisation or association to actively shape their future. They have been very well received by staff at all levels, and especially emerging leaders. Many people do not stop to consider "Who is managing my career? How am I choosing to live the life I want and lead a career that I am happy with." Very often, this results in frustration, lack of motivation and engagement, and ending up feeling mismatched in the job. This participatory masterclass helps you develop thinking and processes to choose how you will manage your life and career. We start from the premise that each of us can take responsibility for managing our own career rather than waiting hopefully for our boss or employer to guess what we want. If you are going to influence how your career develops, it helps to know where you want to get to. This workshop introduces some tools and processes to help you start creating your plan for how to get there.
