Licensed Firework coaches

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.

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.

Sarah Partridge

Surrey

My coaching specialisms include Private, Executive and Leadership coaching focussing on career transition, resilience building, and confidence development. I use a combination of rigorous evidence-based techniques to support my work including Positive Psychology and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I also offer Resilience and Wellbeing Workshops to enable organisations to thrive.

I have a very approachable and open coaching style, but I'm not afraid to challenge my clients if they choose to be challenged. I like to work using tried and tested tools and techniques that have psychological evidence under-pinning their efficacy.

Caroline Cameron

Melbourne, Australia. Also coach via Skype clients from around Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia

I coach mid-career professionals who are ready to take the next step in their career but aren't sure what they want to do next or how to make a career change.

My coaching style is insightful, challenging and supportive. Together we identify your strengths and passions and create a career you'll love. We remove the barriers and build a simple roadmap that takes you from what you're doing now to what you'd truly love to do.

What can you expect when you work with me? This is best described by one of my clients who said, “You’re the sherpa I needed to climb my ‘Everest’. I had to do the work but you walked beside me, showed me shortcuts, made it easier and kept me on track till I reached the top.”

Heidi-Mai Warren MSc PCC CPCC

Dubai, UAE; UK; Europe & US

As a Certified Life and Career Coach I support clients through challenging life and career decisions, with either personalised Life Coaching sessions, or a more structured 12-week Career Transition Programme.

Currently based in Dubai and with the benefit of modern technology, I work with men and women residing in the Middle East, UK, US and further afield. The one thing my clients have in common is that, despite being successful, they find themselves in a place of transition, feeling stuck, overwhelmed and unsure about what to do next in their personal lives or professional careers.

Mila Muskinja

Serbia and ex-Yugoslavian countries

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.

Claire Brown

Berkshire

My mission is to help professionals step into the fullness of their potential, whether that means a career change, career development or workplace coaching.   

Using a holistic approach, I help my clients to develop meaningful careers that fit within the wider context of their lives.  I empower them to achieve their goals, honour their priorities and express their values and passions at work. 

I help leaders and executives to facilitate growth and positive change within their organisations with confidence, empathy and resilience. 

My approach is highly supportive and empathetic in nature whilst also very practical. As a former Occupational Therapist, I understand the impact of meaningful occupation on our whole lives and this holistic approach is woven throughout my practice.

My key skills are career coaching, workplace coaching and executive coaching and I specialise in serving neurodiverse clients.

Marie Smith

Dorset, UK

I am a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) who is energised by working with clients who are passionate about living their lives ‘on purpose’, aligned with personal values, making a difference in their own lives and also in the lives of  others. Or, if clients are not currently doing this, they wish to, and are intent on changing and moving forwards.

Specialisms Include: Leadership coaching and executive development - transitions and change, personal leadership, personal and team performance, resilience and career development/transitions. 

I am a leadership coach and executive development specialist working with senior people, CEO’s and business owners. I typically work with clients who are experiencing (or anticipating) the following situations:

• a crossroads in life, either in their career or private life, or both e.g. feeling jaded with their current role and wanting a new challenge or may have an unexpected opportunity to do something different

Luba Urbinova

Bratislava, Slovakia

I specialise in career coaching and outplacement.

When cooperating with me you can expect open communication based on partnership and an individual approach. I understand that each of my clients is unique.

Jill Walker

Ireland

I specialise in coaching two groups of people - CEOs, founders and C suite executives who want more meaning or balance in their lives or who want to use their talents in a different way. 

I also work with high achieving, hard working women who know they are holding themselves back in some way in their work or their life. I help you bring out the kick ass woman in you and help you achieve what you REALLY want from your "one wild and precious life" (Mary Oliver, poet).
