Enabling you to get curious about your career, make choices, and take action.
Life is absurdly short. Yet our work often takes up a huge proportion of our time and (whether positive or negative) impacts many areas of our lives, from our social life and relationships to our physical and mental health.
You probably care more about your career than anyone else. But it isn’t always easy to design a career that meets your unique wants and needs. It requires self-knowledge and understanding and often takes time and energy.
Career coaching can provide you with the support you need to do this work and ensure that your career is the best it can be for you. Giving you the opportunity to make the time you spend working meaningful and satisfying, and helping you to feel happy, fulfilled, and successful in your life and career choices.
How can career coaching help?
We are very fortunate to live in a world where career options and opportunities are endless. Yet, despite this, you may be:
Feeling trapped or unhappy in a career that isn’t a good ‘fit’ for you anymore?
Considering a significant career transition - such as a move into a new sector, establishing your own business, or creating your portfolio career - but feel unsure how to approach this on your own?
Struggling to achieve a better quality of life or a healthier approach to your work and life blend?
Reaching a pivotal time in your life? Perhaps you have reached a mid-life crossroads, or are pondering your options for retirement?
Wanting to re-build your confidence after taking a career break? or
Feeling overwhelmed with career challenges dominating your life?
As a specialist Career Coach, I can use my experience and expertise to facilitate a structured process to help you question, understand, and take action for what you really want and need.
“The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.”
— Steve Jobs
Why Wonder Career?
To wonder is to be curious, to question, to think about something, and to decide what to do
The key to successful career coaching is curiosity. Developing self-awareness and understanding and taking positive action.
If you want to do the ‘inside work’ but feel like you need encouragement and professional support, then working together may be the solution for you.
Whilst you determine the outcomes you want to achieve; we work collaboratively to help you achieve those objectives.
Working together, I can help you to consider your options, gain greater clarity on your decisions, and formulate realistic plans to make the changes that are right for you.
“Staying curious takes intentional effort”
— Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis
How we’ll work together
As your coach, I won’t give you the answers or tell you what to do. I will listen, probe, question, and challenge. I will use my own experience and professional expertise to give you a fresh perspective and act as a facilitator to help you:
Understand how you feel and what you want from your career
Explore your personal values and understand what motivates and drives you
Gain greater clarity on your talents, transferable skills, and unique strengths
Develop a clearer picture of what’s right for you for your future career
Identify and acknowledge any obstacles that may be holding you back
Better understand all your options and identify the support and resources available
Build your confidence and courage to make positive career changes
Develop actionable plans to help you to achieve your goals and make your career change a reality
Sometimes the process of self-discovery can be an emotional journey and it is important that you feel comfortable. I will provide a confidential, safe space for you to be open with me – and yourself – so that you can get the most from your career coaching experience.
