Career Coaching

our Approach

Desire for job change can be triggered by many things; a desire for growth, boredom, family needs, redundancy or just feeling “stuck”. 

 

Career Coaching is a structured process which enables clients to identify where they want to move to next and how best to get there.
Using a blend of coaching skills, diagnostic questionnaires, reflective activities, feedback & even interview skills training, Fiona supports clients on that journey.

this process includes

  • Reviewing Career choices to date
  • Understanding motivations, aspirations & needs
  • Assessing key strengths, capabilities & transferable skills.
  • Generating & evaluating options
  • Planning next steps & development of CV
  • Preparing for interview

We also offer support packages for graduates and school leavers at the start of their careers.

Management Skills Support

our Approach

One-to-one support with people management is a powerful alternative to group workshops, particularly when specific skills gaps and goals have already been identified. It provides privacy and a safe space to try out skills and techniques and receive feedback.


Fiona offers a blended approach of coaching, guided skills practice, feedback and mentoring. Coaching typically runs over a 3-6 month period to ensure integration of learning.

Example areas of focus

  • Improving team relationships
  • Structuring feedback & appraisals
  • Navigating challenging conversations
  • Honing interviewing skills
  • Preparing for presentations
