Discovered what’s important to me professionally

Although I felt a success business-wise, I needed help to get out of a job I hated, to feel more positive and build better relationships with my wife and family.  I’d tried career coaching but I still didn’t know where I was heading – I was still searching for a clear sense of purpose. My self-belief was low and I felt stuck personally and professionally.  I needed something that helped me understand myself better, to know where I was going and to learn to like myself and enjoy life again.

Elizabeth’s coaching gave me the time and space to think through issues and come up with solutions.  She helped me discover who I am, rebuilding my relationship with both myself and my wife.  We worked on discovering what’s important to me professionally and I was inspired to take some positive action towards a new career, instead of procrastinating.  Elizabeth helped with practical solutions such as upgrading my CV, identifying my skills and interests, and best practice in job applications and interviews.

As a result of Elizabeth’s coaching I feel more confident and self-assured – a much better place from which to be applying for and finding a new job.  I find it easier to think more positively and the fun has started to come back into my life.  I feel much more focused and enthused.  I’m much clearer about what I’m looking for professionally.  I have been able to put together a checklist of career criteria which is in tune with not just my technical skills but also the way I am wired.  I understand myself much better and have learnt to ‘get out of my own way’ so I can achieve things I want to achieve.

Elizabeth provides an excellent service and is a highly personable and effective coach. Her friendly but always professional manner puts the client instantly at ease and she has the ability to quickly and insightfully zero in on the heart of the issue under discussion. These skills coupled with the perspective of being an impartial outside observer, make her an invaluable aid to untangling seemingly intractable problems into more simple and easy to understand components, which she is then able to provide simple and effective strategies to deal with. I would strongly recommend Elizabeth to anybody seeking help to deal with personal or professional issues.
