Let's wrap up July!

This month has been emotional – a lot of people are suffering in silence.?

Job hunting and not feeling happy at work can be miserable and lonely – how on earth do you manage those feelings in the current climate?

This is why I’m 100% committed to my Career Accelerator process where we go beyond the realms of conventional career coaching and get human.?

No scripts, no templates, we keep it real!

If?you don’t feel confident about yourself or the executive recruitment process, a slick CV and Linkedin profile isn’t going to help. Not in the long run.

As a personal career coach, people open up to me about how they feel. Things they wouldn't admit if I was still a recruiter.

A recent client signed up to work with me because his career needed “a bit of an overhaul and his CV needed an update." By session three things had started to get emotional.

He’d been struggling to explain some of the career moves that happened to coincide with the loss of his Mum.

He’d been overthinking everything.

With great care, I helped him to reframe it. Then I helped him to explain his career moves without feeling the need to justify and over-explain certain decisions and choices.

Now I hear he’s in the process for three, potentially four, great opportunities.

We spoke last week and he was lighthearted “I don’t know how but you made it so easy.”

Of course, I can be objective but I can also empathise. Nothing makes sense when you’re trying to make sense of loss.

Not every client experience gets gritty and personal – there was also a practical side to this story. I’m sharing the emotional part because it may resonate with you or help someone you know.


Here's a blog about another client who was at the end of his tether with his search and how we turned his luck around.

You’re not a failure – it’s your job search that’s failed, not you!
