Your career: what’s next?

You are already established in your career, and are asking yourself important questions about your future. Progressing in your career is about making informed, strategic decisions. You may feel it is time to take a step up or across in your current organisation, shift direction or refine your personal or professional brand. It is time for a change. But how do you go about it? What is needed? Change is necessary and potentially exciting, but it can be unsettling and uncertain. Navigating change at this stage in your career is a process that requires clear intention and careful thought.

Career decisions, or career transitions, as specific and current as they often feel, are rooted in the story of your whole life. They take place in the context of who you are, where you’ve come from and where you’re headed. Career decisions can feel daunting because they speak to the heart of who you are, to identity and purpose, to the contribution you make to work and to the world.

This move, this transition, is crucial, and you need someone to be there with you. We will partner with you as you think through your next steps. Our narrative-based coaching approach will give you space to reflect on your story so far and begin reshaping your career narrative and direction. We will accompany you through the transition process and support you as you move forward with greater resilience and confidence.

Why it matters

Career coaching is story-based and practical, designed for those who want to reflect on their career narrative and pathways. It is about your story, your future in the making, the movement from who you are to who you are becoming.

Career transitions and professional growth bring challenges that require courage and resilience. Without the right support, it’s easy to feel uncertain about the best way forward. Our coaching is designed to support you in moving forward in your career with confidence and clear direction. Key areas of focus include:

  • Navigating strategic career transitions: moving into new roles, industries, or greater responsibilities
  • Finding clarity: defining your career purpose and understanding your next steps
  • Personal brand and positioning: crafting a strong, authentic narrative that reflects your expertise
  • Confidence and leadership presence: enhancing your ability to navigate career conversations, opportunities and challenges
  • Achieving steady momentum: ensuring your next move is strategic, considered, and aligned with your ambitions
  • Identifying and developing strengths: recognising what sets you apart and using it to your advantage
  • Development strategies: identifying professional gaps or weaknesses to address and skills to enhance your work currency
  • Effective storytelling: refining how you frame your expertise, achievements and aspirations for different audiences and contexts
