Frequently Asked Questions
What if I’m not sure what my ideal second career is?
My IDENTIFY programme is designed for you. Check out the details here.
I’m targeting a complete career change but is it really possible to achieve?
Yes. Once you have a clear idea of the right career path to pursue it’s simply a matter of mapping a specific plan to it and taking consistent action. I’ve helped people make huge career shifts into completely different fields successfully, including from IT to the charity sector; from marketing to teaching; from the legal sector to sailing; from PR to health coaching; and from communications to leisure and tourism. If you’re committed to it, it’s absolutely possible.
How do you determine what type of support I need?
Before we get started, we’ll do a 30-minute background call, plus I’ll send you a questionnaire to fill out, so we can scope out what stage you are at, where you want to get to, what’s currently missing, and where you feel underconfident, unsure or in the dark. I’ll then design a programme with key components that match your needs, which we’ll discuss and agree before our first coaching session.
How do you re-position my skills and experience to support a completely different career?
I spent 20 years in PR and communications, which means I genuinely know how to create and communicate information in a coherent and compelling way. Writing and designing persuasive content is second nature to me, so I’m adept at translating skills and experience to match target careers, even if they seem diametrically opposed.
Am I too old to make a change?
If you’re alive, and driven to seek fulfilling work, then you’re not too old! A large proportion of my clients are in their 40s and 50s and have successfully identified and changed their careers. Check out these case studies and testimonials for inspiration.
Won’t I be throwing away years of experience and know-how?
Not at all. Whatever your career background, certain skills, experience and contacts you’ve amassed will have a part to play in helping you work towards and effect your career change. Nothing is ever lost and more than you think is transferable. My own personal story is a great example of how this works in practice.
