I am a qualified executive and business coach with many years of experience of helping people to achieve success. Executives face many challenges today not least of all when they take on new roles and responsibilities. They have few people to turn to who are independent and have no agenda of their own. Coaching can be of great value in these circumstances as with other challenges.

Entrepreneurs and small business owners don’t only have the concerns of running their business but also the constant concern of striking the right work/life balance. Coaching helps here as it does when the entrepreneur sets up a new business, decides to grow the business and also in exiting the operations.

I have considerable experience in managing change, marketing across many countries, providing support to small and medium-sized businesses both as Director and Chairman of boards in a number of industries including financial services, IT, NHS. Also, have set up and run various small businesses here and in Far East. Finally have had 3 books published and can help Executives write reports for the board and small business owners in writing plans for funders, bank and those who might be a buyer of the company.

After 30 successful years in corporate HR, Lorraine chose to embark on her entrepreneurial journey and established Lorraine Eivers Coaching.

As an FCIPD qualified and licensed Career Coach, Lorraine has navigated a diverse HR career—from entry-level admin roles to HR Director positions across private sector, Civil Service, Local Govt, and the third sector. Her own journey includes multiple job changes, battles with imposter syndrome, and eventual burnout. Lorraine understands the unique challenges you face.

She is passionate about helping professionals find career success and happiness. Her coaching and mentoring programmes helps clients take back control of their career to find their authentic self, build their confidence and create a clear pathway to achieve a career they love.

Lorraine’s coaching style is highly collaborative, focused on drawing out your passions, strengths, and unique values. Through a supportive approach, she creates a safe space for you to reconnect with your authentic self. She asks the right questions and gently challenges you when needed, guiding you to find answers within.

Her clients include Global HR Managers, Head of HR, HR Managers, HR Business Partners, Teachers and Authors. They’ve experienced transformational career shifts—from landing dream roles with substantial pay increases to regaining confidence and professional pride.

I specialize in coaching and mentoring executives, entrepreneurs and founders in emerging and rapidly growing companies, helping them develop the critical business and personal skills necessary to create a thriving, sustainable business.

My clients come to me feeling constrained by the current state of their company, their life and their own skill set. Often, they’re functioning primarily as task-oriented and technically brilliant founders, but need strategic business insights and/or personal leadership skills to take their business to the next level.

Frequently, my clients sense a lack of balance and integration between the drive for profit and their own personal fulfillment.

I guide my clients in becoming conscious, integrated, and authentic leaders, using practical tools that are grounded in sound business principles, drawn from wisdom traditions, backed by scientific research and proven by experience, so they can ride the wave of leadership confidently, making sound, insightful decisions that are aligned with their company’s purpose and values, as well as with their own.

Across her career, Helen has been recognised as a highly accomplished board level senior business leader, with a longstanding background in PR and Marketing and an industry reputation for business-critical strategic decision making and top-level brand-building consulting to a world-leading client base.

Some years ago, Helen made the transition into leadership coaching, delivering a uniquely blended approach between commercialism within the corporate environment and focus on the individual. Today she provides seasoned professionals with leadership coaching that drives elevation and fulfillment.

Helen specialises in supporting professionals with 20+ years experience who are at a career crossroads – experiencing worry & feeling blocked from making changes despite a growing need to redesign the next chapter of their career for elevation and fulfilment. These committed careerists recognise they can’t afford to stay stuck the wrong side of a transition.

Helen’s coaching blends her commercial edge and branding savvy with her degree in Psychology. Together you will work through her proven 5 step ladder system for Aligned Confident Transformation as you co-create a plan that realigns what you do with what matters most. Then act on it.

ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

Are you stuck at some kind of career or business crossroads but don’t know how to move forwards? Perhaps your crossroads comes via redundancy or you’re striving for a career comeback after a break? Some people already know what change is needed but not how to ‘get there’. Others come to coaching because they value thought-partnership in shaping what would make a meaningful career change. And accountability to act.

BOTTOM LINE:

For our coaching to be powerful it doesn’t matter what your particular crossroads is, so much as the fact you recognise you feel stuck as you stand at them. Do you wish you could ask for career clarity and help to end the cycle of redesigning your career-life on your own so you’re no longer stuck circling the problem? Perhaps you’re looking for help to navigate barriers so you can stop trying to solve the same career problem over and over again until retirement.

If any of this resonates and you’re ready to talk about making change happen, I’m glad you found me.

Our first step is to book a clarity conversation together so we can see if we’re going to be the right fit to work together. It will be a rich conversation where I get curious about your situation today and the career-life synergy you’re striving for. Just get in touch and we’ll set up a time to talk.

WHAT I DO:

I work with Speakers, Entrepreneurs, Authors, and Executives to CLARIFY their message. My clients gain the CLARITY they need to communicate and engage their audience, teams and stakeholders. My clients shift from talking about what they do to talking about what they stand for. They lead the conversation. They become THOUGHT LEADERS. Thought Leadership allows my clients to realize the financial and impact goals they envision.

WHO I WORK WITH & HOW:

– ENTREPRENEURS, AUTHORS & SPEAKERS: In early and mid stage growth that are ready to turn up the volume – become visible and realize exponential growth. I guide them to a TEDx stage and other stages that give them the credibility they seek to grow. We build and launch membership and one to many business models that allow them to leverage their time & resources.

– CORPORATE LEADERSHIP: I work with Directors and C- Level Executives. My clients are looking to shift the way they communicate both internally and externally and incorporate effective public speaking skills to advance their career.

WHY I DO IT:

I believe in people and IDEAS and I know that lack of CLARITY in communication, planning, and execution is what comes between great IDEAS and the IMPACT these ideas can have in the world.

As a Coach, I believe in aligning my clients, with what makes them flow with the strategy that the project/company needs. I bring to the table my academic business background, entrepreneurship experience, my skills as a TEDx Organizer (one of the largest TEDx in the East Coast) & my training as an Executive Coach. I align the person, to their message and the action.

I believe that when we are genuinely excited by our work, we are able to make more of a positive impact – on those around us and on the world at large. As a purpose-led career coach, this is my way of ‘making a difference’ and I like to help others to find theirs.

Perhaps you’ve lost motivation for your current work. Perhaps what was once important to you in a career no longer feels fulfilling, or maybe you’ve never felt like your job was a good fit for your skills or your values.

As a coach, I help you understand yourself better by…

… looking inwards at your strengths, values and motivators – as well as….

Elena navigated the Chemical, Manufacturing and FMCG corporate world for 20 years covering roles from Business Analyst to Business Intelligence Manager before deciding to become a certified coach with the International Coaching Federation.

Today she supports career conflicted top level professionals feeling uncertain or dissatisfied with their current career path to reinvent themselves and find greater fulfilment in their work.

Working together with Elena means to gain clarity in identifying the next role as well as develop a realistic plan for the career transition.

Hi, I’m Jen and I’ve been coaching CEOs, directors, heads of team and first line managers since 2011, helping them get to the nub of issues quickly so they navigate the really tricky bits of being a leader. My coaching isn’t based on a framework or set programme: We focus on what you need right now and using a blend of pure coaching and practical tools I partner with you to make it happen.

As the head of team of events managers, I experienced the worry of  challenging relationships and ambitious targets. I’ve experienced my confidence fall off a cliff during a restructure and redundancy and the uncertainty of returning to work after mat leave.

What helped me through all those situations is having the space to think and de-stress, to create a vision of how I want a project or relationship to be, to understand my strengths and blind spots and then make a plan and stick to it.

Now I create that space for leaders so they can cut through the noise and deliver amazing work through teams who are really performing. (And when that happens, doesn’t it feel good?) I do this through:

• 1-1 leadership coaching (incorporating Emotional Freedom Technique – EFT – when needed)
• Bespoke leadership development programmes for small-medium organisations (and my open programme: From Frazzled Boss to Inspiring Leader)
• Action learning sets, guest speaker slots, team away days and one-off workshops

My clients include international charities and global banks, private healthcare companies and small but mighty not-for-profits, government departments and tech start-ups. Wherever you work, if you’re up for  some self-reflection and action-taking, I’ll help you make a real impact (and enjoy your job again).

Career Coach helping business professionals navigate tough career challenges through personalised 1-2-1 package. Currently offering a free 20 mins coaching consultation to help you get started in these difficult times.

We are all unique in what we offer in terms of strengths, talent, experience and ambitions. I firmly believe that in this current crisis, it is particularly important to stop and breathe and reflect on who we truly are and what we have to offer before making important career decisions. My clients are finding it incredibly useful to spend the time understanding their own story before they can effectively sell it to others.

Are you facing an unplanned career transition in the face of unprecedented economic challenges? Are you feeling anxious, stuck, unable to know what to do next? Are you seeing this time as an opportunity to try something new?

Had you planned a career change but are now feeling uncertain as to next steps? Are you facing a difficult career decision? Are you seeking a new direction in your career?

You might have been in the same role for a number of years and feel fed up with the lack of challenge. You want to feel excited about going to work and inspired for the day ahead.

You might be secure in your job but feel ready to go for a promotion or to apply for a different role, but you are lacking in confidence and impostor syndrome sometimes creeps in. Perhaps you feel that you need to up your game before applying for that dream job.

You’re at a career crossroads, unsure about which direction to take and would really appreciate some independent help to map out the right path for you.

When you’re faced with one or more of these challenges, it can be hard to find the time, energy and the right tools to address them even though you are committed to making changes. Seeking independent support would be such a positive step to take.

I am passionate about helping driven professionals like you reach their full potential and lead happier lives. With 20 years of coaching and consulting experience, a background in clinical organisational psychology and an effective 1-2-1 coaching programme delivered online, I can support you in achieving both a fulfilling career and a balanced lifestyle.

I am the author of the international best selling book Mastering Executive Transitions: The Definitive Guide.

As an Executive Transition Coach, I help senior leaders transition most successfully into new roles by de-risking and accelerating their transition into the C-suite.

I have coached executives from ABB, BP, CCLA, Coca Cola, ColgatePalmolive, KPMG, Pearson, Shell, Sonova, Vodafone, and several successful high growth start-ups such as Alibaba, digikala, Snapp!Group, and more.

Occasionally, I coach on behalf of DUKE, Hult Ashridge Business School and other coaching providers.

My passion lies in supporting executives during critical transitions. I am inspired by their courage to deliver value to their organisation whilst staying true to their authentic selves.

As an Executive Transition Coach I draw upon my 20+ years of international HR experience in some of the world’s most admired companies at country, regional and global leadership level, in both emerging and developed markets.

John is the author of SHOW UP – Six Strategies to Lead a More Energetic and Impactful Career and Your Mid-Career GPS – Four Steps to Figuring Out What’s Next and the host of “The Mid-Career GPS Podcast.” For more information, visit https://johnneral.com.  

John is an avid game show enthusiast and professional bowler who won a title on the PBA Regional Tour and still actively competes.

Tina supports individuals and teams to flourish, enabling them to move forward in ways they cannot imagine.

Her holistic approach helps you to overcome psychological blocks and reframe your internal narrative so that you can make long lasting, sustainable change and take the necessary action to move forward.

If your heart isn’t in it, or you know in your gut that something isn’t right, you are unlikely to feel fulfilled or happy in what you are doing.  It isn’t just your mind but also your body that starts to resist your current situation.

Tina provides a trusting space to focus, in a world full of time pressures and distractions.

She moved into Coaching & Therapy following 30 years working within Human Resources and Executive Search. During this time supporting individuals at points of transition it was rarely the surface level “what’s going on” that was the real issue, it was the “what’s really going on”. This is where feelings and emotions have a massive part to play and the stories that we tell ourselves about our career and our abilities.

In her last employed role, as Head of an Interim Practice for a highly regarded boutique search firm, Tina worked with individuals within a range of industry sectors, including FTSE 100 organisations. She understands how culture, organisation change, and transformation can impact individuals, and how events in our personal lives affect our perspective on our careers.

She has a unique Master of Science Degree in Integrative Counselling and Coaching and is a registered Integrative Practitioner British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), using techniques that support both professional and personal development.

My name is Norma O’ Sullivan and I am the founder of The Way Home Consulting.

I qualified as a corporate solicitor in 2013 before being drawn to construction in Australia where I worked in project management for several years. This combination of experience led me to management consulting in the ‘Big 4’ where I found my passion for supporting people through organisational change. I am a certified change manager and a qualified coach. My purpose is to be a light for others so that they can see and accept themselves for who they really are and go after what they really want from life!

Despite appearing ‘successful’ in my personal and professional life, my twenties were defined by feeling I was too much and equally not good enough. My inner critic was running the show and I numbed myself with chronic busy-ness, food and alcohol to cope with the self doubt, at the neglect of myself. I didn’t know how to trust my intuition. I didn’t even know what that sounded like! I felt like I was living someone else’s idea of a ‘successful’ life but I had no idea what a happier, healthier, more authentic life could look like for me. Where in darnation would I start looking, even if I did?! How could I get more glitter and fun back in my life?!

Through coaching, mentoring and deep healing work, I was able to discover self-compassion and get to know my true self. I was able to find my way back home to myself, to the person I was always meant to be – before life experience slapped a whole load of ‘should’s and perfectionism on me!

If this resonates with you and you are tired of wearing a mask to ‘fit in’, if you want more meaning and purpose in your life, here is how I can help!

Best-known as a professional speaker and coach, John supports professionals to develop a strong career identity, rooted in self-worth and self-belief. In this way, professionals increase the value of their work, find fresh energy and sustainable motivation. Even in tough times.

His latest book, “The Self-Worth Safari” was published in March 2019. John is also the author of “Hidden Value” , “100 Tips to Find Time” , “Opportunity Conversations”, and “The Courage to Ask”.

Speaking Topics:

– Why clients should not define your self-worth
– Why self-worth is more vital than self-esteem in these strange times
– Reworking your professional identity to showcase your expertise
– Finding fresh energy for future growth
– Raising the value of your work

Need a keynote speaker with a touch of Irish humour, as well as practical substance? Contact John for details of current talks and workshops.

Since 2001, John’s approach to professional identity and value-centred working has won widespread recognition among consultants, trainers, technology companies, communications specialists, coaches… all manner of professionals whose careers depend on expertise and high-quality reputation.

Some of the typical shifts in a “professional identity” approach:

– from being a “client-servant” to being a “client-partner”
– from chasing your next role or project, to building a clear identity based on self-worth
– from managing time to managing energy
– from relying on self-promotion, to equipping others to tell your story and spot opportunity for you
– from trying to “be interesting” to being “interested”
– from focusing on how valuable you are, to HOW you are valuable / useful
– from being paid according to hours/days, to being rewarded in line with the value of your work

John was one of the co-founders of the European Forum of Independent Professionals, following years of coaching >750 freelance professionals to create more value in their work.

John also offers practical mentoring and coaching to individual professionals who want to add value to their lives and their work. For example: to add impact to their value-proposition, to get clearer about their identity in the market, to re-engage with clients, partners and peers, to open new markets—while always working in ways that respect self-worth and sustain motivation.

(Self-Worth Academy is also building a team of associates and facilitators to support John and the current team with current growth. You are welcome to connect to explore this further.)

I’m passionate about leadership, career growth, diversity, equity, and belonging. I am a change champion for a career community who aims to build more inclusive workplaces, more diverse executive teams, and more minority business owners. As a seasoned Global Talent Management expert, I have spent the last 20 years developing people & organizational development (OD) programs for several international organizations while holding leadership roles in Human Resources (HR), Tech, & Education industries.

✪ My Specialty: I partner with high-performing leaders, career changers, and new entrepreneurs by helping them remove obstacles that prevent them from accelerating their careers, living out their life passions, & earning 6-figure incomes.

✪ Why I do what I do: After negotiating a 6-figure salary & launching a client-pleasing, profitable business before the age of 30, I decided it was time to help others like me obtain career success sooner and faster than I did.

✪ What makes me an expert: I’ve built psychologically safe highly productive teams from the ground up, held C-suite executive roles, & owned a business for over a decade. I have been fortunate to have worked in many areas of the Tech & Global Talent Management space, including B2C/B2B product development, software implementations, workforce career development & DEI programs, employee resource groups, leadership development, elearning design, employee onboarding & training, succession planning, employee engagement initiatives, & human capital strategic planning.

✪ My most proud career moment: Successfully transitioning my career as a teacher into HR and landing my dream job as a Chief Learning Officer (w/o a doctorate degree). Over the years, I’ve built 2 important superpowers, conquering imposter syndrome as a minority leader and embracing a “progress not perfection” mindset as a business owner.

✪ How I help: I leverage my authenticity, talent development experience, diversity education, business expertise, and tech skills to create more clarity, confidence, fulfillment, and income in the lives of minority professionals & entrepreneurs.

✪ Who I support: Minority and Women leaders, career changers, and new coach entrepreneurs struggling with business branding & tech set-up.

Cliff has over 20 years’ experience in senior HR leadership roles at Eli Lilly and Company, Mead Johnson Nutrition (now part of Reckitt Benckiser), and Verifone, all top-flight multinational companies in their industries.  During this time, he focused most of his energy on the development of leaders through personal coaching, and by creating and deploying various learning and development programmes.  Many of the people Cliff worked with have progressed from middle-management roles to senior business and functional leadership roles at top pharmaceutical companies.

He has also lived and worked in nine countries and helped General Managers to work with their own strengths in different cultures, often in highly challenging business environments.  Now Cliff focuses on executive coaching for people like this, and on consulting on HR, leadership, and organisation development, using his training and skills from his early career as a teacher and from facilitating many learning and development programmes.

I am an experienced leadership development professional and executive coach, with a finance and consulting background.

I have a passion for seeing individuals flourish and I want everyone I work with to have a deeper understanding of themselves, make the most of their innate talents and abilities and feel they are moving forward in their career. I believe that everyone has the potential to grow professionally and personally, but sometimes just needs a bit of “unsticking”.

For lasting impact, this is best done through deepened self-awareness, curiosity and positivity.

I set up Helen Tuddenham Consulting to do more of what I get thrilled about – working with individuals and small groups, seeing people grow and develop in confidence. I coach professionals in business at all levels, on a range of leadership, influence, impact and confidence issues. My clients predominantly come from the finance, law, financial services, IT and engineering sectors.

Prior to starting my own business I spent 25 years at PwC, advising clients on a wide range of culture, capability and change issues. Combined with my journey of building a career in a complex organisation and a coaching methodology that leads to genuine “aha” moments, I am ideally placed to get results that last.

Working with me, you will unravel confusing thoughts, work out what success means for you and explore what’s holding you back. Once “unstuck”, you’ll have a fuller understanding of yourself, renewed enthusiasm for your work, and the confidence to move forward with your career goals.
Your organisation sees an increase in performance – through an engaged and motivated leader who is more proactive, more willing to go the extra mile and who’s able to operate successfully at the next level, bringing their team along with them.

My clients are in finance, law and other professional sectors. I coach both in-person and online, depending on location.
