Career Coaching

Career coaching helps bring clarity to your career direction

Have you considered career coaching?

Have you considered career coaching?

Perhaps you are fed up with your current role or at a crossroads, considering a change of career, want to retrain after being made redundant, or you just need help with how to improve your career opportunities.

Our career coaching package, or what we often call career optioneering, can help you find the direction you need. It can be purchased as a stand-alone service but it is an ideal process to go through before having your CV professionally written. Typically our clients buy between one and five hours of support depending on the complexity of their situation.

We also provide other types of coaching including job market coaching, side hustle coaching and thought leadership coaching.

Helping you see the bigger picture

Helping you see the bigger picture

Our 1-2-1 career coaching / optioneering service is a pragmatic career coaching session or series of sessions that are designed to identify some obvious and feasible career paths.

If nothing else, it will give you a realistic and honest view of what’s achievable, but our aim is to provide you with a short, medium and longer-term career plan that will provide structure and guidance to your future career path.

You can start with one to two hours of coaching and bolt on extra sessions as you need.
