What is a HOLISTIC CAREER? Let's make sure we are talking about the same thing.
How we define the word career makes all the difference. I believe a career is holistic and encompasses all our life roles (e.g. including that of parent, employee/entrepreneur, sibling, friend, child), our learning, leisure, and work roles (paid and unpaid). How we choose to put all those together and balance them is our career. When you look at career from this perspective I believe a world of possibilities opens up; it’s thinking from a ‘both-and’ perspective instead of an ‘either-or’ perspective.
I believe in empowering people to find the right mix of all these elements for themselves at this place and phase of their lives and equipping them to adjust it as they continue to grow and develop over the course of their lives.
Work Search Strategy
In addition to tailoring your CV, in this program you are also supported to create your strategy, gain confidence with the most effective approaches to find or create the opportunity you want, and identify and take the actions that will open doors to the opportunity you are looking for.
Sessions are held following completion of related assignments, includes the 3-hour intensive CV writing session, interview support.

Powerful Authentic CV Coaching
Using a process to put more than just your skills and experience on paper, the red thread that guides your career choices is clearly profiled and those elements that allow you to shine in your work are emphasised, creating a CV that supports you to move in your desired career direction.
Following completion of a pre-session assignment, we meet for a 3-hour intensive CV writing session. The CV continues to be tweaked and adapted until it gets you invited to an interview.
Coaching Hikes
Let me literally walk with you on your journey as you gain insights, increase clarity and explore your possibilities for the future you want for yourself. I will guide you through the forest where you may feel lost, show you places to gain perspective, engage your imagination to create possibility and walk boldly through tunnels of transition. I will hold the space for you to come out on the other side, into the light of the meadow that you have caught glimpses of but somehow aren’t reaching on your own.
Testimonials
How do I coach?
Whether it is purposefully getting a career unstuck, navigating change, transitioning in a career or from school to work, networking toward opportunity or active work search, I support you to move towards your personally meaningful career goals.
I use a holistic, narrative, strengths-based and forward-looking approach to career coaching based on the principles of syntropy. You will complete tailored coaching assignments which are discussed and explored during the session following and support the next steps in the process. I support you to re-member your story, to find your resonant voice and clarify your direction. I teach you to steward and navigate your way through the tensions between occupational boundaries, international borders and economic shifts, creating your unique, personally meaningful path.
To get started, contact me for a complimentary 30 minute exploratory session. If you then want to take the next step, I will develop and send you a proposal indicating the number of sessions and what the focus of each session will be as well as the price. When we reach agreement on this, the coaching begins.
