Licensed Firework coaches

Helen Collins

Berkshire, UK

I am a passionate professional Career Coach and Consultant with a particular interest in career change coaching. I love coaching people who feel they have reached a cross-roads in their career, or perhaps have experienced redundancy, and are seriously seeking a change of direction, but are unclear as to what that may look like.

I provide access to the structured FireworkTM coaching programme, creating the space to enable the coachee to connect consciously with their authentic self; to encourage them to collate, consider and explore career options available to them; to create a vision or visions, and to set out a plan of action to bring one chosen option, aligned to their authentic self, to life.

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.

Anne De Smet

Leuven (Brussels area), Belgium

I have all types of clients from all kinds of professions and this makes it very rich and interesting for me.
In my previous life I have been an entrepreneur with a company specialised in the organisation of international scientific conferences and meetings. This means I have experience with this sector. Having been a business owner for 20 years now, I'm also well placed to coach people who envisage to start their own business or work for themselves.

Clients tell me I have soft power, I'm a warm, honest and open, combined with an edge of seriousness when needed and absolute determination and focus. I'm often complimented for my energy and commitment. See the section 'praise' on my website for testimonials http://momentum-coaching.eu/en/praise/

I have a blog/newsletter which appears every 2 weeks on Thursday. It can be found on my website under 'Inspiration'

Karen Bray

I specialise in career transition and personal development, utilising the Firework Programme to assist clients recognise what their dream job is and then guide them on understanding how to achieve their desired outcomes.

With over 20 years’ experience in people development roles, I am passionate about helping clients achieve career satisfaction and personal success and be in total harmony with their values.

My personalised coaching is designed to enable clients to recognise and overcome any limiting beliefs that may be holding them back, and provide a warm and friendly, yet challenging approach to assist them in understanding what they want from a career and most importantly, encourage them into taking action.

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.

Angie Fresch

Chicago

I work with professionals in their 30s, 40s and 50s to reinvent their careers into something they love.

When clients come to me, they say things like "I'm successful at what I do, but it's never really felt like 'me', or "I've always felt like a bit of an 'imposter' at work, and I'm worn out." I also work with women with young families who say "I'm ready for something for me again." They are ready for a change, after having taken a career break to focus on family. However, the career they had before having a family is no longer a good fit for their lives.

Anna Weissenberg

Budapest, Hungary

I coach people who are mid career and looking for a change. I specialise in coaching people who work in an international environment or have moved internationally in their career.

I am an empathetic and friendly coach who supports, motivates, and helps my clients gain confidence. I coach in English, Swedish and Finnish.

Dan Beverly

London, UK

Hi. My name’s Dan Beverly and I’m a Leadership & Performance Coach. And very simply: I help professional women achieve their highest potential.

And for some of my clients that plays-out as a new job or promotion. For others, it’s about a complete shift in career or business. Whilst for others, it’s just about excelling in who they are and what they do.

But what unites all my clients is that they come to me at a pivotal moment in their careers. A moment that will really define their success – and their path for the next 5 – 10 years.

And in that pivotal moment, I inspire my clients to play full out.

Because there’s only ever one challenge for us all. Being more of who we already are. And so, my leadership coaching approach revolves strongly around the 3 core themes of: Reinvention + Creativity + Ownership
