How can I help you?

Are you feeling ready for a career change but not exactly sure what that will look like?

I help people in the middle of their careers make sense of where they are and what’s next - with space to think, a healthy dose of clarity, and a plan that feels good.

Many people reach the middle of their careers wondering if it’s time for something different, even when everything looks fine on the CV.

You may be curious, creative, or just itching for more meaning and a new direction in your career.

At a career crossroads?

My approach is built around a simple, five stage model called The Mid-Career Shift - designed for people who want clarity, not overwhelm.

Step 1: Surface - what’s really going on?

Step 2: Sense - what matters now?

Step 3: Set - which direction feels right?

Step 4: Shape - what are your paths forward?

Step 5: Shift - what will you do next?

Whatever change you’re looking for, coming to coaching is sure to be a milestone that helps you move positively towards your new future.

What my clients have said

  • "I've really benefited from coaching as I've been struggling to focus on a key development area. James helped me to articulate what I was actually trying to achieve and why it was important to me. He challenged me to define what good did and didn't look like and helped me identify how I was going to hold myself accountable to truly commit and monitor my progress."

    Katy, HR professional

  • "From our very first session, James demonstrated a keen understanding of my aspirations and helped me articulate clear, actionable goals that aligned with my values and vision for the future. James has helped me be more self-aware and brought out my self-confidence. I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to be coached by James."

    James, small business owner

  • "I've found coaching to be genuinely life changing. I was in such a confused, lost and overwhelmed place when I began the coaching sessions and by talking to James, I was able to unravel my goals and what was stopping me, what I was and wasn't in control of and how I could go about achieving my goals."
