Ex Big-4 turned career coach, helping smart women ready for more
If what once filled you with joy now leaves you cold, we should talk.
ICF accredited coach
Who cares? Maybe you don’t. And that’s cool. Keep scrolling. But in an industry that’s unregulated I want to keep myself accountable to some kind of standard. You know, not rock up to some training and then thinking I’m some kind of mind shifting guru. I sat a 3 hours ethics exam last year to renew my accreditation - THAT is commitment. And just last week I was delving into how understanding our brain’s response to change can help me coach you better.
2000 hours coaching clients
That’s my little tot up of hours spent listening to other peoples’ work lives. 2000 stories. 2000 pieces of insight gained. From women in tech, to those clawing their way through consultancy, to those working in banking, advertising, media, insurance, health, FMCG…..I’ve not coached a vet or a magician…but by the time I meet you, you never know.
Ex big-4 executive
I don’t hate my ex. The Big 4 gave me financial security when I was a single parent. Opportunities that
Work might be a shit show, but that doesn’t mean you’ve got to stick around and clap.
You’ve got other options.
The fight for promotions, the exhausting standards, the unspoken rules. We should be further along than this, but the reality is women still have to push harder, advocate louder, and prove themselves in ways that shouldn’t be necessary. And I see how that takes a toll.
I also see how easy it is to overlook your skills and experience, and downplay what you bring to the table. When you’re stuck in a role that drains you, it’s hard to imagine how things could be different. And it’s not always something you can talk to your boss about.
That’s where I come in.
I don’t help people escape their careers — I help them reclaim them. Whether it’s figuring out your next step, navigating the politics of promotion, or just finding a way to make your job work for you instead of the other way around, I’m here to help.
I’m the friendly boss you wish you had, the one who tells you when it’s time to move up, move on, and get the recognition you deserve.
Here’s how I can help you
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Career Clinic
Can we just have 1 meal where you aren’t moaning about work? Can you put your phone away and stop checking Slack? Can you let go of that throw-away comment your manager made 2 Tuesdays ago at the weekly Town Hall?
The answer is no. No, you can’t. You’ve tried really hard to. You know you have. But you need perspective. Help. Someone other than your partner, friends or colleagues telling you to “let it go” or “just keep your head down” or “just start looking for another job”.The Career Clinic is a 60-minute power session to help you sort it once and for all. Whether it’s a shitty performance review, a conversation you’re dreading, or a decision that’s keeping you awake, you’ll get straight-talking advice, fresh perspective, and a plan to move forward.
