Olivia Woods

Berkshire, London & Dublin

Career coaching for senior executives wanting to consider a complete change of career.

Entrepreneurs wanting to be more focussed and organised in their heads so that they can achieve their great ideas rather than letting their ideas slip through their fingers.

Prospective clients wanting to build up their confidence.

A silver fist in a velvet glove would be an accurate description of my working style...I hold a clean space for deep thinking and then agree accountability with the client. This accountability then becomes the focus of our good work together. I'm a skilled motivator and have been referred to as a 'motivational defribilator'.

After many years experience as a senior recruitment consultant I quickly understand what a client is capable of, which is frequently more than they see for themselves.

Joanna Jacobs

Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Wiltshire

Coaching specialism: individuals experiencing career transition, or who want to do more of what they love, particularly after career break. 

Coaching style: I am a warm, attentive and intuitive coach, focused on the individual as a whole. I experienced my own career transition since having my daughter four years ago (from Corporate HR to freelance coaching and facilitation) I am energised by helping others to capitalise on the opportunity a career break can give for reigniting passions and discovering new ones!

Strasbourg, Bas-Rhin, France

I've got a knack for working with passionate individuals who've lost that career spark. I get it—when your work loses its charm, it's easy to feel adrift and unsure of your next move. Having myself experienced career changes across countries, I'll support you in navigating these uncharted waters.

My coaching style? Picture it as a structured journey, but with a sprinkle of lightness and fun. I carve out a safe, non-judgmental space where we can casually dive into reflections about your career desires, capabilities, and what truly motivates you. I'm here to listen, and because I'm deeply curious, together we'll unravel the puzzle through discussions. I'll bring my unique perspective, shedding light on aspects you might miss, and nudging you to look in different directions.

Sessions mostly happen online, but if you're around Strasbourg, we can meet in person. I can do the sessions in English, French or Portuguese.

My coaching specialisms are:-

  • Career transitions
  • Planning and preparing for expatriate secondments and repatriation
  • Career-life interactions

I offer a space within which you are able to share, explore and develop action plans for the career opportunities or challenges that you face, based on a trusted and confidential relationship. I have personally experienced the highs and lows of the career cycle across professional and financial services organisations, the impact it can have on other domains of life and the importance of maintaining perspective and well-being. The decisions will always be yours to make; my role is to ask the right questions to help make your decisions as informed as possible.

Jane Owen

London (West & Central), Surrey & East Berkshire

With 10 years plus experience as a transition coach, I work with a wide range of individuals including graduates looking for their first role, postgraduates looking to alter their career path, women returning to work and executives looking for their next career, in short, anyone who is looking for more career satisfaction. I particularly like working with individuals to increase their confidence.

My style is empathetic and genuine and I provide a safe space for you to think differently. I work with the whole of you, your thoughts feelings and behaviours and provide support and challenge through tried and tested coaching interventions to clarify your options and take positive steps forward to achieving your goals; in other words, I hold your hand while you find your way because you cannot teach someone, you can only help them to learn for themselves.

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.

 

Donnie MacDonald

Whitstable, Kent

I work with individuals who are neurodivergent and are seeking a more fulfilling work and life.

Navigating the challenges of being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world can be daunting. However, by gaining self-awareness and understanding, we can mediate these challenges and allow our strengths to shine.

I create a safe place for you to explore your unique needs in life and work. My coaching style is empathic coupled with insightful questioning. I bring a calming energy to our work. As a neurodivergent coach I spot patterns and incongruences that you may not be aware of yet. I help you explore those areas that may have been derailing your previous efforts to make changes.

Kelly Campino

Switzerland

I’m a certified and ICF credentialed coach and offer tailor-made coaching packages to support women with their work-related challenges. My expertise lies in the areas of career transition, work-life balance, challenges within the workplace and life coaching.

I offer an open and authentic approach and am committed to doing my absolute best to support my clients in achieving their goals. I apply positive psychology to every coaching session, utilising my clients' strengths and encouraging a focus on solutions.

Monika Larini

Estonia (face to face coaching) and worldwide clients online

Many encourage people to step out of their comfort zone. I rather believe that people should make unknown situations more pleasant and interesting by expanding the boundaries of their present world.

It is indeed a matter of point of view: a career coach helps you find different perspectives on your work life that allow you to transform your initial conundrum into new inspiring beginnings, choose concrete actions amidst an overwhelming range of possibilities, and let your initial fear of the unknown turn into curiosity about what you will soon discover.

My coaching style has developed through the interaction between professional academic education and working in predominantly creative environments.

As a coach, I can be more supportive of those who see work as self-fulfilment and a strong part of their personal identity than just a way of earning a living.
