Can You See Your Future?
One of the most frequent dilemmas presented to me when coaching is
” I don’t like where I am but I don’t know where I want to be“.
Knowing where you want to be does not mean you’ll automatically get there, but it does help you make the right choices on the route!
It’s difficult sometimes; we all have a natural tendency to focus on what we don’t want, or don’t like. It’s much harder to be clear about we actually want.
So I have something to help you! If you click on the free audio download to your right you will hear me reading my specially written visualisation. It’s specifically designed to help you work out just where it is you want to be by tapping into your creative subconscious.
I wrote it as a companion to my book, but it works well alone too. You can, if you wish, download it to listen to at your leisure. Somewhere without distraction is best, where you can lie down, relax, and devote some time to what you really want from life!
Enjoy it!
Reasons to Take Charge of Your Career!
1. Research shows that successful people are ‘career resilient’; they take charge of their own learning and development and are ready to reinvent themselves to keep pace with change.
2. What used to work for you may work no longer. Assuming that if you keep on doing what you’ve always done will still be good enough is dangerous.
Doing what you’ve always done will produce the same results and now you want different results! So get ready to do something different.
3. Some managers are better than others at developing people. You cannot rely on getting a good one. Be your own manager and take responsibility for developing yourself!
4. You may have several different types of career/businesses in a lifetime- young professional to homemaker to part time, second income earner, to professional woman to international entrepreneur perhaps?
5. You are likely to be working for longer as demographics change, retirements ages alter, and attitudes towards being older improve.
6. There are still great jobs out there but you will need to find them (or invent them) for yourself.
Chose now to take control of your working life. Take control of your own career and don’t rely on anyone else to do it for you. No one cares about it as much as you do, however helpful they may be.
You spend hours upon hours of your life at work so make sure you are living those hours as you really want to live. Live and work consciously; don’t let it just be something you do to fill the time from 9 to 5. This is YOUR life. Take control of it and fulfill your potential!

When Work Isn’t Working!
Hope you like the title of my new book (pictured above)! I am currently basking in the glow of finishing it and seeing the finished article. It’s a great feeling to finish a big project, isn’t it?
Coaching Prompts
The book is full of the successful advice and exercises I’ve used through the years when coaching. One of the issues that surfaces time and time again is women telling me “I hate my job but I don’t actually know what I want to do instead.”
If that sounds like you then this will help. It’s a workbook crammed full of my tried and tested exercises to get you thinking creatively about your future – whatever age you are!
Actual and Virtual
It will soon be available as an actual book, sent courtesy of the Post Office, or as an instant download to your computer. Details coming soon. I’m really looking forward to hearing what you think about it!
