Why everyone needs a Career Coach

Our changing workplaces are creating new pressures - but at the same time new possibilities.

Redundancy, for example, while feeling overwhelming can also force us to question whether we want to keep doing the same thing or try something new and better suited to our passions and skills. Those left behind, the "survivors", might miss "how things used to be" and struggle with longer hours or unwelcome changes to job descriptions. Yet even here there may be ways to regain our energy and find purpose, and grow from the situation.

Perhaps you feel have simply stalled in your career. You somehow fell into your current line of work, but you're at a point where you'd like to take stock, review the options and make a positive new choice about your career and where its heading.

Is career contentment possible? Absolutely. But it's neither realistic nor desirable to leave it up to our employer to manage for you. It's up to us to find our own contentment; to take responsibility for developing careers that provide meaning and purpose and stay both challenging and absorbing to us.

The key to having a satisfying and brilliant career is knowing yourself. Knowing and using your strengths, understanding your values and what you need to do your best work.

If you're thinking of finding a new job our Job Search Coaching and Successful Job Search Seminars will help you do that successfully. We also offer Presentations feedback as well as Interview coaching to help you make a big impact!

Or perhaps you are considering a complete career change, but don't know where to begin. Our Career Change Programme and Workshops will give you the clarity and confidence you need to identify your ideal job and move you closer to making that a reality.

However if you're happy in your current role, but you want to be more effective, grow your responsibilities and lay the groundwork for your next promotion, try our Career Coaching for Professionals programme.

Finally, if you're about to start (or have just started) a new job and want to make the right impression and start adding value immediately, then read up on our New Job Coaching Programme. This is ideal for people who want to avoiding repeating mistakes from previous jobs, or who are changing sector or moving to a much bigger role.

Our free consultations and money back guarantees

Organising a free initial consultation is easy. All you need to do is click on the Request Coaching Consultation button on the right of this page. Or you can go ahead and book your own appointment in our online Calendar. (Just go to the Clients Only page and follow the directions.)

During the call we'll identify what's working for you and what isn't, and how specifically coaching can help you (or provide you with alternative options if coaching isn't best for you). You'll also find out what coaching is, how it works, and that all important question, what we charge. It's your opportunity to ask us any questions.

If you then decide to continue coaching, we put a date in the diary and get you started. If after one or two sessions you feel we aren't a fit for each other, or you're not getting what you expected, you ask to stop and your money will be refunded. Our guarantee means even if you have never tried coaching before, you have nothing to lose by giving it a try!

Now's the time

We know that sometimes taking that first step to write us an email or pick up the call is the hardest. So we leave you with this final thought...

If not now, then when? We're here to help so give us a call.
