Licensed Firework coaches

I work with professionals in their 30s – 40s who are currently going through a career change, promotion or recently relocated.

Usually people start their career in their early twenties and think that they will remain on the same path for all of their life, progressing and achieving always higher goals.

Discovering the desire to change career, might lead to deep feelings of loss and demotivation, self-doubt, fears and identity issues.

My experience of living and working in corporate London means I fully understand the context of my client’s challenges; beside my coaching qualification I'm also a qualified Strengths Practitioner and I provide sessions solely based on career development.

A career change could mean anything from starting a new job, completely changing sector, becoming an entrepreneur and setting up a business, or simply discovering the concept of a portfolio career and intrapreneurship and adjusting your career accordingly.

I love working with people who want to do more purpose-based, meaningful work in the world, who don't want to simply clock in and out of a job for the rest of their careers, and who know they are capable of extraordinary things - if only they could figure out what that is! I also help working parents achieve a more balanced approach in integrating their work with family life.

I have worked with a variety of professionals at all levels in their organizations and with varied goals related to career and purpose, work-life balance, and leadership.  Prior to becoming a coach, I led a remote and global team of Learning Consultants in Financial Services technology.  I excelled at building relationships within my organization, motivating and inspiring my team and colleagues, and articulating and achieving desired changes in culture and collaboration.

I specialise in creative leadership, team and career development. I work primarily with leaders and managers in the creative industries, having spent the first 18 years of my own career working in creative, media and technology companies.

My special interests lie in supporting leaders and teams navigating high pressure and fast changing environments, managing challenging relationships and stress. We might focus on developing self awareness and calibrating your impact, managing energy and priorities, maintaining confidence and resilience or work/life balance.

Clients often come to me at a turning point in their career - planning a new direction, a promotion and increased responsibility, navigating peak delivery time, leading a new team or leading organisational changes.

I work with a range of people, many of which are from the creative industries given my background. Most importantly I work with people from all ages and backgrounds who want to live their lives to the fullest and are committed to making a change. These include:

• People who are looking to find more fulfilment and enjoyment in the life/career.
• People who want to consider a career change
• Women returning to work after maternity leave, a career break or a change in career direction

I have been described as warm, enlightening, and inspirational, but I'm also prepared to challenge habitual and obstructive behaviour or thought processes. I have the skills to tackle issues in a positive and productive way. And mostly, I have a passionate belief that work should be a fulfilling and enriching part of our lives.
