I believe that if people play to their strengths every day, the engagement, fulfilment and performance that result makes work an exciting adventure.
Being a career coach, facilitator and an ex-recruiter, I have worked at the heart of the jobs market for the last 25 years. Fulfilment for me is not only seeing my clients gain the clarity of direction in which they will take their future, but witness them make the transition to a new role or career that brings meaning, motivation and pride to their working lives.
This fulfilment comes from helping job movers, from students to CEO's, to own and energise their careers, explore options and build the skills and confidence to move faster into the right role. Through onboarding and beyond I challenge leaders and teams to move through critical transition points, enabling higher levels of performance and engagement.
While qualified in Executive Coaching and Leadership Mentoring (ILM level 7), at heart I’m a pragmatist. Building strong and amicable rapport with my clients, my work focuses on real issues, real solutions and real results.
Starting as a graduate trainee at John Lewis I enjoyed careers in Retail (operations and HR), FMCG (Sales & Marketing) and Executive Search. I moved away from ‘headhunting’ and founded The Career Gym in 2009 to focus on helping others develop meaningful careers they are immensely proud of.
