Licensed coach: 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.

Clients are assured a warm welcome, whether it is working together in person at home or at work; walking and talking on the moors; or video conferencing across the land or the oceans. Liz guarantees each of her clients a safe place to explore, dream and discover who they truly are and what they are inspired to do next.
