Licensed Firework coaches

Obi James

London, UK

I coach mid- and senior-level professionals in the corporate sector (predominantly financial services), helping them to position their personal brand, successfully navigate their networks and expand career possibilities.

My coaching approach draws from:

a) Latest findings in the field of neuroscience to create an understanding of how coaching impacts neuroplasticity and helps build the psychological skills needed to support lasting change.

b) Systemic Thinking to help senior professionals, executives and business leaders to look beyond individual development to find solutions which also benefit the wider systems they're part of.

c) My strong corporate experience in senior leadership and organisational development roles within large multinational organisations. This means my coaching approach is tailored to factor in pressures and constraints that come with leadership responsibility in these organisations.

I mainly work with women in their late 30s and 40s, balancing between overdemanding careers in multi corporations and family life. They are often new mums set to modify their current job, or embark on a completely new journey.

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.

As a Leadership and Career coach and facilitator, I have built up an experience in working with:
- Executives and professionals to strengthen their personal brand and assist them in challenges they encounter.
- Individuals to define the career path they want to develop and co-create a plan of action.

I am passionate about talents and strengths and help people (re)discover their talents and integrate them towards achieving a more fulfilling personal and professional life.

I also give workshops, webinars and organise retreats on different topics.

Rachel Schofield

London

I help smart women redesign a workable and fulfilling career path after motherhood. My clients have taken time out to raise their family and are ready to re-connect with their professional self. But simply diving back into their old industry isn’t going to cut it. They want space and support to get clear on their skills, strengths and passions, to explore other avenues and think differently.

My mission is to champion and challenge you. Help you shake off the doubts and ditch the procrastination. Reawaken your self-belief and get you in action. I am passionate about helping women not lose themselves amid the highs and lows of motherhood. I want us to be able to reconnect with who we were, finally create space to take stock, and find a realistic way to realise the dreams or ambitions we still have. There's a lot of life still to be lived as your children grow. Don't you owe it to yourself to make a conscious choice about how you spend it?

Ruth Starsmeare

Wiltshire, Hampshire, Berkshire, Dorset

I specialise in career change coaching for Teachers looking to leave the classroom.

I offer 1:1 coaching sessions either face to face or using Zoom that will take you through a structured approach, so that you can figure out your life and career goals, your values and your motivations and understand what gives you energy. Alongside your skills and experience, we will look at what that means in terms of career options and we'll develop an action plan to get you from where you are now, to where you want to be.

In addition, I offer Career Change Workshops designed to take you through that structured approach in a one day intensive group session.  These will be face to face in various locations in the Wessex area.  See my website for the latest dates/venues.
