Need a Career Kick Start?
Is one or more of the following is true for you?
- I want to inject more mojo, interest, or meaning into my future career. Either there’s a clear promotion/path I want to go for, or I’m at a bit of a career crossroads and don’t know which option to take.
- I have to find a new role, because Covid has turned my world upside-down.
- I want to do something different, but I haven’t got a clue where to start.
- I think I know what option to take, but I’m struggling with how to go about it – how to ‘network’ (urgh!!), how to present myself, how to keep motivated.
If so, then the Career Kick Start will help you flourish...
What is in the Career Kick Start?
It’s a set of simple-to-follow online resources, combined with group coaching. This means you not only get the knowledge, but also the support and accountability nudges to make sure you take action.
What topics are covered?
You can access all of the following topics and more:
1) What do you bring to the party? – understanding your strengths, values and unique quirks.
2) Where do you flourish? Understanding your needs, the environment and context where you’ll thrive.
3) What’s out there? Exploring the opportunities – from the obvious to the leftfield.
4) What’s your path? Deciding what you are going for: removing unconscious bias, handling doubts, and making commitments.
5) What’s holding you back? Taming your demons – building the belief that it’s OK, you’ve got this, you deserve this, you can absolutely do this.
6) What’s the plan? Go blummin do it: taking action, avoiding procrastination, building momentum.Creating both short term and longer-term action plans
7) Who’s the support team? Galvanising the right network of people to help you every step of the way.
8) How do you show up? Pitching with authenticity and gravitas: how to explain what you have to offer without coming across like a prat!
How is the Career Kick Start delivered?
If you decide to go for it, you can choose from the following:
1) Online self-service resources so you can go at your own pace and fit your Kick Start around your current commitments. The resources are simple, humorous, appetising and highly practical:
- A series of short, appetising videos which give simple overviews of each topic and strategy,
- A collection of downloadable pdfs which give more detailed explanations
- Step-by step DIY exercises in downloadable pdfs
- Templates and cut-and-paste suggestions. For example, suggestions for emails to write to ‘cold’ contacts to ask for their advice
- Hints and tips and real-life examples from the hundreds of people I’ve coached
- Interviews with experts (eg there's one with a job application coach going through the do's and dont's of getting an job interview; there's another with someone who has started their own business giving invaluable advice if that's the route you want to take....)
2) The online self-service resources, plus live group coaching. This will get you thinking, answer your questions, encourage you to keep momentum, - and celebrate your progress
- 10, weekly, hour-long calls with a like-minded, supportive community (small groups to ensure depth of attention)
- The option to involve yourself totally anonymously if your career quandary is confidential
- A chance to broaden your network and access peer coaching, advice and introductions
- A structured approach to allow equal ‘airtime’ and individual attention, constructive challenge and sharing of insights and different perspectives.
- Coached by yours truly, using my 20 years’ experience to give you the 100% high support and high challenge you need… whether that’s asking you the questions you’ve been dodging, respectfully slapping you round the face with a wet kipper, or being your ultimate cheerleader, celebrating your progress.
- a one-to-one session with a specialist job application coach to help you figure out that CV, covering letter and interview prep malarky.
Are you up for it?
You can have access to the DIY resources for £359 for six months. That's 20 years' worth of tried and tested strategies at your fingertips. A vast amount of high quality knowledge and actionable advice.
Or, you can have all that, plus the group coaching for a total of £799. That's all of those lovely online resources PLUS 10 hours of coaching.

It's powerful stuff. THE NEXT COHORT KICKS OFF ON Friday 6th August, SESSIONS RUN 9-10 am, UK time on Fridays. First come first served!!

You might still have some questions…
Where have I done this before?
I’ve coached people specifically through successful career crossroads at: Screwfix, Linklaters, Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group, SSE, Alexandra, Recruitment firms who want to remain nameless (sic!), Bank of America Merrill Lynch, AXA, Freshfields, and many, many more.
I’ve written the bestselling book, ‘Will It Make The Boat Go Faster? Olympic-Winning Strategies for Everyday Success’ which has chapters specifically devoted to belief, to motivation, to change, to bouncebackability. The book is recommended by Sir Clive Woodward and Sir Chris Hoy, by Helen Weir (NED of ‘JUST EAT’) and Dr Richard Ward (former CEO of Lloyds of London)

What do previous coachees say about me?
"I heard you on Radio 4 and noticed the audience question about whether coaching works and I am here to tell you that it really does. As you know I would never have had the insight into my own drivers to make a decision to move on from my old firm without your help. It has been transformative for me. I would recommend it to anyone." Philippa
“Without a doubt the most useful thing I have done since becoming a coach. I feel like it has given me the tools I need to help me take my coaching to the next level’ Heidi
Game changer! 3rd coaching session of my career to date and the most impactful. So simple, yet so effective. Thank you.” Guy
