My coaching process is highly personalised and from our very first call we’ll be looking at things like where you’re at right now, what you are dealing with at work, what your aspirations are, if we can work together, and whether or not I can actually help you. This’ll tell me what areas we need to focus on and which exercises might help us to achieve your goals.

When we begin working together, I’ll guide you through a series of exercises that help reveal what you truly excel at when stakes are high. We’ll look at things like what tasks you confidently take on, those you’d rather avoid altogether, and everything in between. Through your responses, I’ll gain a clear picture of your natural strengths and the areas where you’d naturally defer to others with more expertise. This isn’t about weaknesses—it’s about understanding your authentic professional identity.

From our discovery work, we’ll distill your professional essence into three to five core attributes that define your value. These aren’t just skills—they’re deeper aspects of who you are. We’ll craft these into a brand statement that captures your unique value to companies. This becomes our anchor throughout the process, turning the traditional job search on its head by starting with your value proposition.

Next, I’ll ask you to document everything you’ve accomplished in your career, with as many numbers as possible. We’ll organize this document into a matrix that maps your achievements to both your previous roles and your core competencies. This creates a powerful resource that shows not just what you’ve done but how those accomplishments reflect your essential professional strengths.

With a clear understanding of your core value, we’ll explore job opportunities that might not have been on your radar. This expansion of possibilities often opens doors to higher-level positions. For each opportunity, we’ll customize your application materials by emphasizing the most relevant aspects of your experience while eliminating elements that don’t speak directly to that specific role.

Most people approach interviews reactively, trying to anticipate every possible question. My approach is different. With the core attributes we’ve identified backed up by your achievements, you’ll control conversations regardless of questions asked. Like a skilled politician redirecting to key messages, you’ll ensure interviewers hear about your achievements no matter what they ask, giving you confidence and control.

Throughout our work together, we’ll track measurable data to monitor your progress. We follow metrics like recruiter profile visits, search appearances, and application responses at 14-day and 90-day intervals. This data-driven approach keeps us focused on what’s working and where we need to adjust our strategy.

The job search process sometimes takes longer than expected, and that’s when my role as cheerleader becomes crucial. I’ll be there to provide guidance, maintain your momentum, and help you stay focused on communicating your unique value.
