L&D Career Coaching

Let's talk new directions...



Career Coaching


You don't always have to have all the answers...


Sometimes you need a little help, especially with your career...


  • You may be feeling like you need some external support to make a transition in your career
  • Perhaps you've been suffering a lack of confidence or the dreaded imposter syndrome recently
  • Have you hit the glass ceiling and don't know which way to turn
  • Perhaps you haven't been very treated well in your current role and you are feeling a little lost



Executive Coaching

It's not always easy at the top...


Working as an Exec can be a surprising lonely experience...


  • Challenges in the workplace
  • Worried about your own performance or leadership of your teams and their performance
  • Have you been treated less than professionally and your confidence is low
  • Feeling rather lonely and isolated at the top



Coaching can help provide a way forward...


However, don't just take my word for it, read Robyn's testimonial to understand how it helped her...


"I got in contact with Kate to help me understand my value and how to present it in a way that would be recognised by recruiters despite having a different background. I specifically chose Kate as she had recruiting experience, had L&D experience (and I didn’t want someone preparing my CV without any technical knowledge) and she had a perfect approach of a mix of coaching and mentoring when needed so she was able to give input where I needed the ‘Knowledge’ but she also addressed some of my underlying thoughts and mindset. I found working with her easy, pleasant, but most of all the best investment.


Due to only 3 sessions with her I’m now applying for and interviewing for roles I am passionate about, that make me feel valued and are of a salary I feel truly reflects my value. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Update: I've now found my next role: Something that truly excites me and something that prior to working with Kate was just a dream. I will be forever grateful."

How can you help me?

Everyone's situation is different and coaching conversations will vary greatly from person to person.

However, you need to take the leap to pick up the phone or send that email to start the ball rolling...if nothing changes...nothing changes!

Be honest with yourself, how many times have you got up for work, looked in the bathroom mirror and thought ‘I am so better than this?’ – I can hazard there are a fair few of you nodding at this blog post right now. But my question is: ‘What are you going to do about it?’ There are so many categories and styles of coaching that may ease your path through your work life, including business coaching, executive coaching, leadership, mentoring, and staff coaching, to name but a few. So, deciding, or even knowing which would benefit you most in your private quest for career perfection is likely to be very overwhelming.

And this will have a positive impact on any career decisions you decide to make going forward. For example, your drivers.

L&D challenges in 2022

By Default Author • December 14, 2021
The hybrid headache – Making sense of Learning and Development in an ever changing world I think we can safely say that things will never be the same again! And not a truer word has been spoken either for the Learning and Development sector. The headaches have been severe and never ending for catering to this hybrid, almost nomadic, new working way of life for so many. How we continue to face these challenges in L&D will be a true testament to our character and stamina within the L&D sector. From the new ways of remote onboarding and training to available online learning not being suitably tailored to the individual or business needs, and of course L&D not being seen as a very high management priority. All this on top of IT support and compliance issues with a sometimes unreliable IT infrastructure coupled perfectly with a scattered workforce – It can be a corporate nightmare. Here are some top tips to guide you through...
