Confidential support for you and your dreams

 
 
 

Individual coaching, mentorship, and support for personal and professional development, leadership and empowerment, and career advancement.

A one-hour private coaching call, whenever you want, no ongoing commitment.

With a coach who truly understands what it’s like to live and work in your world.

 

Creating clarity, connection, and confidence

 

You’ve heard it many times before: Be the change you wish to see on the world. 

For many of us, the sentiment behind the meme is what got us started down the path of our careers and has dictated the direction of our lives. 

But it’s easier said than done. It’s lonely and difficult work. And most of us are filled with self-doubt, plagued by imposter complex, and fighting to be heard above the patriarchy. Or struggling to find that next role where we can make our mark and contribute to the world.

Even when it’s going well, we’re often wondering if we’re doing enough, if we’re doing it right, if this is it, or if we can or should be aiming for more.

Many of our amazingly talented clients seek out coaching because they fear their career is plateauing or because they’ve reached a point where they feel it’s time to be more proactive about where their life is going. Or they’re in the midst of big changes or periods of transition, such as looking for a new job, returning into the workforce after parental leave, or dealing with a new posting to the field or headquarters.

 

Is it time to be more proactive about your life?

 
 

HOW?

We will meet online on a video or voice call, for one hour. When you book one session there is no ongoing commitment or obligation, and you can book as frequently or infrequently as you want.

Want one session to talk through a difficult decision you need to make, or to get kick-started on your job hunting? Great!

Think you might want longer term coaching but want to test the waters first? It works for that too! Or if want to book one session now, maybe one more in a few weeks or months time … you can do that too!

The individual coaching session is where you choose - one or multiple sessions, it’s up to you.

WHAT?

We can work on issues that affect you in your professional and personal lives, and help you to clarify, connect with, and have the courage and confidence to live your dreams.

During our time together we can work on almost anything you want!

Some of the things we’ve worked on with previous clients include:

  • navigating life and career transitions

  • clarifying your calling in life

  • courageous decision-making

  • working with self-doubt

  • creating and maintaining healthy boundaries

  • balancing self-care and prioritising well-being

  • dealing with your inner critic and using your inner mentor

  • communicating in healthy ways

  • conflict resolution and negotiation

  • empowering leadership

  • developing your career strategy

  • personal branding and profile building

  • strategies for effective job hunting

  • preparing successful job application packages (including guidance on re-thinking how to write cover letters, creating modern CVs)

  • refining online job applications (including through the UN’s Inspira)

  • preparing for job interviews

  • transitioning between jobs, industries, or geographical locations

  • becoming a consultant and creating a consultancy practice

  • deciding on graduate or PhD study

  • strategies for leveraging your study into career success

  • creating hybrid professional pathways through academia, consulting, and self-employment

  • managing non-profit organisations, teams, and boards

Most of these issues are things we work with clients on over a sustained period of time, but we can also dive straight in during a one-hour call. Together we’ll figure out what you need and through coaching you will be provided with the support, encouragement, guidance, accountability, and cheerleading that will help you build transformation at your own pace.

This experience is confidential and non-judgmental, and you’ll be met with kindness, compassion, empathy, humour, creativity, and courage.

WHERE?

All our calls are held on Zoom, an easy to use video platform service. No need to download software, you can access Zoom from your browser.

You will be sent the link to the Zoom meeting with your booking confirmation.

Calls will be recorded and stored on a secure encrypted online platform, so if you want to review and re-listen, you can request a copy of the recording. Your call is 100% confidential, and we won’t share with anyone and ask you to do the same.

I work with those who want to change the world, helping them to establish or deepen their careers in the international sector.

And I work with those who seek to change their worlds, to develop clarity, connection, and confidence.

One of the most important lessons I’ve ever learned is that in order to change the world we often need to change our worlds — in particular the way that we lead and manage our own lives and relationships. The work I’ve done with some of my own mentors, such as Randi Buckley (whose work on Healthy Boundaries for Kind People is life changing) and Tara Mohr (who does exceptional work on helping women learn about Playing Big) informs the work I do with clients in nurturing and developing their best selves.

The people I work with are those who unashamedly want to create a better world, for themselves and for others, a world where human rights and human dignity are respected, protected, and fulfilled.

Together, we figure out how to do this, and what information and resources are needed, whether that’s on a global scale or in their own personal lives.
