Career Management Coaching
For professionals who want more than a job change — they want a career they can steer.
Most people rely on their manager, company, or luck to shape their career. This program gives you what you’ve never had — a coach who acts as the manager you wish you’d had, helping you build clarity, capability, confidence, and direction over 12 purposeful months.
Is this where you find yourself?
“I’ve changed jobs a few times… and the same problems keep showing up.”
“I feel drained, under-led, or stuck in a culture that doesn’t fit.”
“I’m working hard but not moving forward.”
“I’m not sure if I need counselling, a new job, or something else.”
“I want more purpose and growth, but don’t know how to create it.”
Who is this for?
Professionals roughly 28–38 building their career foundations
People who feel unsupported or under-led by their current boss
Those repeating the same work patterns across different jobs
People ready to invest in themselves, not wait for their employer
Your hopes
A career you steer, not one that just happens to you
Clarity on what work means for you and where you’re headed
Stronger soft skills: managing upwards, sideways and down
Confidence to make decisions that shape the next 10–20 years
How the program works
This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a 12–18 month partnership where I act as the manager you don’t have — consistent, supportive, challenging, and focused on your growth and choices at work.
We usually start with a Discovery Pack, then move into a structured 12-month program.
Discovery Pack (3–5 sessions)
Clarify your situation, patterns, values, drivers and what “work that fits” means.
Month 1 — Deep dive
3–4 x one-hour sessions to understand your patterns and start immediate behavioural shifts.
Months 2–5 — Monthly reviews
30-minute sessions to work on managing upwards, stakeholders, and soft skills while you stay in role.
Month 6 — Reset
One-hour session to review progress, adjust goals, refine habits and direction.
Months 7–11 — Continued growth
Monthly 30-minute sessions focused on decisions, boundaries, visibility and confidence.
Month 12 — Wrap-up
One-hour session to review the year, anchor habits, and clarify the next chapter in your career.

Why this approach is different
Most career coaching focuses on CVs, interviews and job boards. That’s useful, but it doesn’t change the patterns. This program treats your career as an ongoing practice. I bring 25+ years in recruitment and executive search and 4,000+ hours of coaching to act as the manager you don’t have — someone who understands how careers really move, and who will stay with you long enough to change the way you work and decide.
Who this is not for?
People wanting a quick, cheap CV rewrite
People looking for motivation without effort
Anyone who expects their employer to fix everything
Those unwilling to self-reflect or try new behaviours
