Career Development

Do you, or people in your organisation, feel stale, or unmotivated at work and need to regain enthusiasm for what you do?

Perhaps you need some career guidance coaching to help you to get more focused and motivated in work. Or you need help finding meaning and purpose in what you. I provide career development coaching and career development programmes for individuals, and career development workshops for organisations to motivate and engage you at work.

You are so busy doing, you don’t have time to plan your career development. Now you want to take control of your career and unlock your future potential?

You, or people in your organisation, want to find time to take a step back from day-to-day business and invest time to work out and plan your future career. Working with a professional career psychologist can help to gain insight and clarity on a career path.

Perhaps you are being overlooked for promotions at work and don’t know why. Or you just don’t feel satisfied with your current position and its limitations.

Working hard at your job has not resulted in the career progression you were hoping for and you feel stuck in your role. It’s time get some personal career counselling and coaching to work on your career development strategy.

Or maybe you are coming up to a career review at work, your boss wants to know what your plans are but you don’t have a clear vision as to what that is?

Working with a qualified career psychologist can help you work out a structured and well thought through plan of what your future career action plans are at your next career review.

I Get It!

You spend so much time at work, you need some sense of enjoyment and sense of purpose in what you do. Everyone is unique and needs different things from work.

If you, or people in your organisation, would like some help to figure out your next steps in your career, I can help you to develop your career to be happy and successful in what you do.

Depending on what you want to achieve, I have different options:

1. The Career Development Programme - 7 Steps to Unlock Your Career Potential

This 7 Step Career Development Programme will help you to understand how you can flourish and develop at work. Through over seven hours of one to one work and psychometric assessments, we explore your goals, your needs and your required actions.

2. One to One Coaching for Career Development

Do you just want someone to one coaching to discuss your specific goals? We can do that too. Sessions can be between 1-6 and 90 minutes each

3. Career Development Workshops

For organisations, I provide group workshops to help people to gain insight into their strengths, skills, interests and values and plan their career development.
