How We Help You
Through coaching we will help you to identify, focus on and achieve the things that are important to you.
In a series of conversations we will explore:
- Your vision, goals and objectives
- The options available to enable you to achieve them
- The actions you will take to get there
- Your experience and learning from taking action
Specifically we will aim to help you to:
- Clarify your target role, sector and organisation
- Identify your strengths and weaknesses for your chosen direction
- How to maximize the impact of your strengths and minimise weaknesses
- Create a strategy to find potential roles that doesn’t rely on advertised vacancies
- Take responsibility for taking action
- Build confidence in your ability
- Prepare for the challenges and setbacks during a time of economic uncertainty
- Equip yourself to excel at interview
- Understand how to succeed at the selection process
- Negotiate the best offer
Our goal is to unlock your potential so that you can maximize your own performance. We help you to learn rather than teaching you. We do this by building self-awareness, personal responsibility and self belief.

You Can Have Your Own Personal Career Coach…
In order to provide the most private, customized, flexible and focused support we offer personal coaching by telephone. Telephone coaching is very cost-effective, convenient, makes maximum use of time and is practical for keeping regularly scheduled sessions. It is also very private and allows both the coach and client to focus completely on the call. I’ve had hundreds of clients who have benefited greatly through coaching by phone. (When working with my own coach, I always choose to do it by phone.)
Telephone coaching packages start at £500 initially plus £350 per month thereafter, including:
- psychometric questionnaire and relevant reports
- two 45-minute telephone calls per month
- unlimited email support
- unlimited brief phone calls in between regular sessions
Coaching would normally continue for at least 6 months until you have achieved the goals we agree and set but you do not have to commit in advance to a certain number of months. You can stop whenever you want.
Prior to the coaching sessions starting we would have a 45-minute telephone call to agree your objectives and how we would work together.
Some examples of the types of counselling we can offer are our career transition, self-employment and career development programmes. However, we always tailor your coaching to suit your own needs. If you’re not sure what kind of coaching would work for you, please call and we’ll talk about it.
Why Us?
Our broad business experience, gained in a variety of senior executive roles over many years, gives us a rare combination of practical leadership experience and great insight into people and their motivations. Many years of direct coaching experience have given us the practical skills required to improve personal performance and effectiveness.
We incorporate relevant psychometric reports from Harrison Assessments into the coaching process, as we and many of our clients have found these to be extremely valuable.
We have successfully coached people at all levels, and in a variety of organisations, to deliver results they did not believe possible and to improve their lives both inside and outside work.
