Yes Career Coaching

You know that person that keeps complaining about their job?

The one that is:
Miserable on Sunday.
Stressed out on Monday.
Scrolling through jobs on LinkedIn on Tuesday.
Talking themselves out of it by Wednesday.
In complete overwhelm by Thursday.

Starting to sound like a Craig David song…anyway you get the idea.

Would quitting be absolute career su***de?!? Or the best decision ever!

It’s not fun going round in circles, trying to work out what’s best.

Everyone you speak to about it will give you a different opinion, based on their own circumstances, experiences and set of beliefs and values that THEY hold.

I wrote ‘Ready to quit your job?’ with ONE aim in mind. Make the decision a well thought out, strategic one, rather than a knee-jerk reaction to a bad day in the office (we have ALL experienced those at some pint in our lives!!).

It’s peppered with fun exercises and real life stories of people who (re)discovered absolute joy and purpose in their work.

And it’s fulfilling its aim. I’ve had so many people reach out over the last 21 months to say it’s helped 🤩🙌🥳

So, going to back to my original question…if you do know someone who’s unhappy in their work right now, why not give them the gift of self-reflection, inspiration and fresh perspective?

For less than a tenner (or go luxe with the hardback version)! 🎁

insisted on a photo and asked me to sign a copy of my book for her when she attended my talk at the Cheltenham Literary Festival last night…

Or was it the other way around? I get confused 😜

ps. She was rather fabulous and I’d highly recommend her new book ‘I shop, therefore I am’

Can you really have the best of both worlds?

Experience the joy of teaching primary school kids (without the admin!) AND run a business that you absolutely love?

Jennie Tipple is proof that you can.

She recently shared her story with me on my podcast 'Your Big Career Move'.

If you've ever thought about starting a side hustle, you'll enjoy this!

“I was used to traveling around the world in a global brand director role, spending a lot of time in airports and fantastic parts of the world, working with brilliant teams. And then suddenly I wasn't part of a team. So that's a big change in dynamic.”

The transition from corporate to entrepreneurship can be fun, nerve-wracking, exciting, scary, rewarding, all-consuming…

I recently interviewed Gary Keogh about his transition from Global Marketing Director to Leadership coach & trainer.

If you’re thinking about making the leap, you'll enjoy his story. Take a listen to 'Your Big Career Move’ on:

Schools out!

Blackberries picked

Blackberry muffins baked (yes someone’s already had a nibble 🤭)

All in between client sessions 😀

The out of office is going on next week. Time to recharge and reset

Happy holidays for those of you lucky enough to have some time to spend exploring, reconnecting, recharging, relaxing…

Ps. Holidays are a great time to take stock of your work life and making sure it’s still working for you…and tweaking/shaking things up if it’s not. I’ll be taking on 2 more 1-2-1 coaching clients (£250/month for 2 sessions plus email support in between) from Sept. If you or someone you know would like some support in feeling great about their work again, do get in touch 🤗

Sometimes quitting your job can seem like the only option when you’re stressed out, burnt out, bored or have lost your mojo at work.

Quitting *may* ultimately be the answer, but it’s not the only option.

I’ve worked with dozens of people who felt like they wanted to quit. Some don’t end up quitting (at least not in the short-term) and instead rediscover the joy in their work.

They all fall into 1 of these 4 categories:
Remainer, Tweaker, Toe-dipper, Leaper™

Which one are you?

Want to explore whether you’re really ready to quit?

Here are 3 ways to do so:

- read my book ‘Ready to quit your job?’- available on Amazon worldwide
- listen to some conversations with people who have made the leap, for inspiration - podcast ‘Your Big Career Move’ - available on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon & Apple podcasts
- drop me a dm to book some time to chat about how I might be able to help you further (through 1-2-1 coaching or my signature group coaching programme)

Redundancy isn’t a reflection of your worth!

More often than not it’s just bad timing, budget cuts or company restructuring that has nothing to do with YOU.

It’s hard not to take it personally.

But what if…this is the plot twist that changes everything??

Sometimes we need to be pushed out of our comfort zone to find something better. Something more fun, more aligned with our values, something that doesn’t feel like work.

Ready to turn what may seem like a setback into your comeback?

Join me & Danni Brotherston for a one day, in person workshop on Tuesday, 1st July, where we’ll map out your next chapter together. It’s easier and much more fun than trying to work it out on your own (been there, done that, wouldn’t recommend it!).

Your story isn’t over. In fact, it’s just getting interesting 😀

Comment below or dm me for more details.
