I’m a qualified Career Coach ready to help you progress in your career.  

I’ll help you plan your next move, get your CV and LinkedIn ready, and help you improve your interview techniques so that you find and secure the role you are looking for.

I will also help you with your interviews. One of my key coaching areas is interview coaching, which delivers great results in a short space of time and can make a world of difference. 

I’ve been a Career Coach for over 5 years. Prior to this I had a wide-ranging career in business management and coached multiple teams to develop their careers.

My broad career background has provided me with valuable knowledge of multiple sectors and industries which is a huge benefit when supporting my clients.  

The 4 Steps to Success

Strategy & Planning: Having a strategy and plan to secure your next role is vital. Without this you can find yourself getting stressed, frustrated and losing confidence which can lead to poor decision-making. I’ll help you make an effective plan and set a strategy to achieve it.

CV & LinkedIn: Your CV needs to promote your skills, strengths, experience and achievements. Your LinkedIn profile should be aligned with your CV and help a company or recruiter find out more about you. I offer an expert-level CV & LinkedIn writing service or will coach you to write your own.

Interview Preparation: Confidence in interviews comes from being well prepared. Too often, we prepare for an interview when we get the interview but this is often too late. Through interview coaching, I can help you prepare and practice how you are going to talk about yourself, your career, your strengths, your weaknesses and your achievements. 

Managing Your Job Search: It’s important to know how to build and use a LinkedIn network to support a successful job search. Not all jobs are advertised and networking is a key part of job searching. It’s also important to manage job seeking effectively to avoid job-search burnout.

Interviews

These are some common areas that we often fall down on in interviews. If you recognise any of these, Interview Coaching will help you improve your performance and confidence:

  • Rambling and losing focus in your answer
  • Not confidently selling your strengths and skills 
  • Not providing suitable examples that show how your skills and experience match the role 
  • Not taking credit for your own achievements

Successfully handling interviews is a skill in itself and it’s a fact that we get better at interviews the more we practice. With Interview Coaching, I will help you become fully prepared and confident to face any interview.

About Me

I’m a qualified Coach with an MSc in Career Coaching and 25+ years experience in Business and People Management, providing me with a solid commercial background and a wealth of experience in supporting individuals plan, develop and progress their careers.

My career started in Finance, working for a city-based Insurance Broker before moving to join Finance teams at Honda and Jardine Matheson. From there I joined British Airways and enjoyed a 14+ year career with the airline, starting in Customer Services and moving into leadership positions in Sales and Marketing, Training and Project Management.

Returning to work after a career break, I worked in the Education sector for a while before moving back into the business world, first as an Account Manager in the Employee Benefits sector and then heading up the Account Management team, working with multi-million£ companies and accountable for annual sales of £12-14m.

People development has always been my passion and when I decided it was time to make a career change, my aim was to combine my business experience and my coaching skills to help individuals find meaningful and fulfilling careers and I retrained as a Career Coach, gaining a Master’s Degree in Career Coaching from the University of East London.
