Career Coach?

Am I a career coach?

I never really thought of myself as a career coach until one of my clients tweeted out “working with a great career coach“. Who does she mean? I thought, she’s working with me. And then the penny dropped. It was me she was talking about! She hadn’t gone and found herself a new coach. Phew.

If you’ve read much on my site you may think it odd that I don’t think of myself as career coach as I do help women with their careers.

And I do have a whole section dedicated to Career Tips for Women.

And I am a certified Myers Briggs Type Inventory assessor and use their profiling tool to help my clients with their career progression.

But I still don’t think of myself as your average career coach. I don’t do CV writing or interview practice or image shaping or any of the things other very excellent career coaches do.

What I do is work with talented professional women who want some career development and need professional support and help while doing so. A significant proportion of the women I work with are in male dominated fields like engineering or logistics, or science. It’s not easy being a woman in a man’s world and still retaining one’s femininity. It’s not easy asserting yourself in the boardroom and getting male colleagues to  pay attention. It can be done, but it’s not easy.

Gender Equality

Utilising some of the latest research available I have designed strategies for women which will help them beat the male only culture and progress to where they want to be. Many women come to me before important interviews for a quick confidence boost; I am pleased to be able to say that the last three women I worked with all got the jobs were after!

So, if you’re after some career coaching that’s not quite traditional career coaching, give me a call! I’m your woman! And check out my 3QI package too.
