I'm a qualified Career Coach with 21 years experience of working with clients from entry level to board level roles.
I was awarded a LinkedIn Top Voice badge in 2024 for the job seeking and career development support and advice I offer from my profile there.
Amongst the many roles I held in the corporate world, I managed a Graduate Programme with responsibility for 75 graduates.
I also worked at board level on succession planning and senior leadership development. I’ve also designed,delivered and analyse large engagement surveys.
I work with individuals and groups. I enjoy both for different reasons!
This all means that whatever career stage you are at, I can help you get where you want to be using a combination of LinkedIn & Career Coaching.
Often, Career Coaches specialise on a particular ‘type’ of client, be that an industry, a life stage or those earning a certain amount of money.
I don’t do this. The reason is partly selfish, I love variety, I love learning about different industries and role types. That also means I am pretty well connected across a big range of levels and industries. I can therefore talk real examples of people who are doing that role you want to do, or who have made that career pivot. I enjoy working with those people in really early career stages who are excited about what’s to come, as well as those at senior levels where we often have really in depth conversations about what’s next and how to get there.
I want to work with people who are passionate about their development, wherever they are in their career. This mix means I can talk to senior leaders about what students are looking for based on my conversations with them, and vice versa.
As well as using Career Coaching exercises and tools, I spend a fair amount of time on LinkedIn with my clients, showing them just how it can be best utilised for their specific need.
I work one to one with clients on their career programme, as well as working with organisations on how they and their staff members can be using LinkedIn more effectively and within universities, colleges and schools delivering group sessions on topics around Career Management and LinkedIn.
