Licensed Firework coaches

Alison Roux

London

I specialise in career transition for senior and mid-level executives. My clients are usually at a point of transition, professional or personal: newly promoted or aspiring to promotion and looking for help with professional development or performance improvement; at a career crossroads and wanting to explore professional or lifestyle options; moving to the end of their careers but looking for a change rather than retirement. An MBA graduate, with a strong business background, I draw upon extensive experience as a leadership development consultant across a range of industries, working internationally and multi-culturally. I work with individuals to renew their sense of self and build on their strengths so they can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Michelle Bayley

Based in Twickenham, West London. Work with London based, UK-wide and overseas clients.

I specialise in career transition coaching and train other coaches to use the Firework career change process. Over the past 13 years I've worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds, including:

  • 30 and 40 somethings who feel their current work isn't what they want to do until they retire;
  • women with young families who want work that fits better with the rest of their life;
  • 20 somethings who have fallen into work that they know isn't the right match for them; and
  • people of all ages who want to feel they're doing something more purposeful than their current job.

I also work with people who want to get a promotion, who have recently moved from management to leadership or who want to improve any aspect of their current work. And I do general life coaching, helping people to find a way forward with anything, from a relationship issue to improving their confidence and generally living a happier life.

Graham Cavan

Cambridgeshire

Hello! I am a professional accredited Executive, Career and Behavioural Change Coach and Business Mentor with over 30 years leadership experience in coaching and mentoring global transformation leaders and teams within FTSE 100 companies to achieve successful outcomes.

My coaching approach is focussed on collaborating with you as a thinking partner in a creative space, that enables you to explore, dream big and achieve your career transition ambitions.

When working together, we spend time capturing the initial goals for our coaching collaboration, before starting to explore the reality of your current unique situation including potential challenges that may need to be overcome. From there, we work together to develop a customised coaching plan that is tailored to your specific requirements.

We would then dig deep, with a bold and curious mindset, to uncover potential options and strategies to achieve these goals before mapping out a roadmap of next steps to deliver a successful outcome.

Nicola Porter

Dublin, Ireland and worldwide via Zoom

Contact me when you don't want to spend any more time looking at job ads and feeling disheartened. The jobs you're qualified for, you're not really interested in and the ones you ARE interested in, you're not really qualified for.

You've been thinking about a career change for a while (maybe years!) but you've no idea what else you can - or want to do. You might not even be 100% sure you want to make a change.

I was a psychology teacher and academic for 13 years before I made a change so I understand what it's like.

I'd no problem gathering information but I struggled to bring it all together into a realistic career option and a concrete plan.

That's why I trained as a Firework coach on top of my initial coach training: I wanted to provide a step-by-step, doable approach to career change at midlife. Firework's well-established framework, tools and techniques mean I can provide my clients with next-level support.

Kate Cusack

Brighton, East Sussex, UK

I am a Life and Career Coach, based in Brighton, UK. I work 1:1 with clients locally, or with clients from all over the world using telephone or Skype.

I work with anyone who feels they would like more meaning and fulfilment from their career, but isn’t exactly sure what that career is, or how to get there. I get huge satisfaction from helping clients go from confusion to clarity on which direction to take in their career, to achieve true happiness and satisfaction from their work.

I love working with the Firework Programme because it uses unique and varied exercises to uncover who you are and what really makes you tick, so you can address the question of what career is really right for you, based on an in-depth awareness of what you need to be truly happy, both in your life and your career.

Liz Taplin

Plymouth, Devon

Liz is a full-time life coach serving the teaching profession, where she loves working with clients asking the big questions such as ‘What should I do with my life?’ The majority of her current work focuses on supporting teachers who are seeking career-change. With forty years of teaching experience across all age sectors (including leadership and teacher training) and having trained with some of the world’s leading coaching organisations, Liz is well-placed to serve her audience. And in addition, she has had her own experience of leaving teaching (twice!).

Liz embraces her spirit of adventure with a playful yet common-sense approach. This serves her clients well as they are often feeling anxious, guilty and lost when it comes to leaving a profession they thought they would spend their working lifetime in. Just as the Firework programme suggests, Liz takes her clients on a journey from them being a passive bystander in their life to becoming an intrepid explorer who seizes the day.

Majella Callaghan

Dublin, Ireland

I specialise in coaching women returning to the workplace and career transition.

My coaching style is a confidential, challenging, friendly, supportive, person-centred approach which is non-judgemental, encouraging and produces positive results.

Aurelia Rogalli

Richmond, Surrey, UK

As an entrepreneur and new mum, I specialise in career coaching and personal development for management level (5-15 years work experience) as well as mothers returning to work after maternity break. Most of my clients have a corporate background and are looking for more fulfilment, either through a career change or through a side project in their life.

I am calm, intuitive, challenging and direct. I expect hard work from my clients so they can make the most of our sessions and move forward in their careers.

 

Jenny Burrow

Brighton and Hove, UK

I support frustrated and unfulfilled mid-career professionals who have built a successful career, ticked all the boxes they were supposed to tick, but now wake up wondering "is this it?".
I support them to get clear on who they are and what is important to them, and to stop overthinking, get unstuck, and create a career they love.

On the whole my coaching approach is non-directive; I believe you are the expert in your life, and that you have everything you need within you. I provide the space, support and tools for you to uncover those answers. My clients describe me as patient and supportive, and I also like to provide gentle challenge in our conversations. We may dig into some deeper issues during our conversations, but we will usually share a laugh or two as well.
