Coaching for a Different Life

I started a career.

I started working as a consultant and realised I hated it.

Then I achieved a dream...

I started working in broadcasting (on the technology side)

And I loved Loved it. First, I worked for the BBC (the largest broadcaster in the world)- working with a fantastic team on social media for the 2012 Olympics and creating tools to be used across ALL of the BBC.

And then to ITV - the largest commercial broadcaster in the UK, where I helped transform and modernise the technology division.

But then

I was in the middle of managing a massive project with over 100 people involved. There was chaos and mess, but we were slowly moving to clarity and were going to succeed.

But I was bored, not excited. And there were days I dreaded coming in to deal with the next issue. After 3 years, I knew I wanted something different, but I had no idea what.

But I then moved to Berlin.

It was to move closer to a man I had an unconventional relationship with. So I put broadcasting (and a promising career) behind me and entered the world of startups and a new city, a new country in a language I did not understand (and still do not if I am honest).

But I went from bored to hating my job.

My ego got the best of me. I thought I could win the job. And in some ways, I did. I reached a three-figure salary, and I bought a flat. And I was finally going to start travelling in Business Class (or at least Premium Economy).

But I was stressed, unhappy and depressed.

But I woke up every day with dread. I used to love going to the gym. But now, even going to the gym was hard, as I would be heading to work afterwards (yes, I am one of the mad crazy people who goes to the gym in the morning before work).

I was constantly dealing with politics, psychopaths, and being constantly framed and set up for failure in power plays by other people.

And in all honesty, the work did not interest me. It was not making a difference in people's lives. It was not helping society.

My health was awful from the stress. And with the constant challenges of work, I found it hard to find a good time to go off my antidepressants.

But through it all, I kept the coaching. I was doing it more and more, and the people I coached loved it. I guided them to help them find who they indeed were; I helped them find their purpose, energy, and drive.

There was someone who found life had no meaning

People who were burnt out and needed a change of career

New leaders who wanted to lead in an ethical, value-driven way

I was able to guide and help them. My purpose was to help people become the best they could be and find the best life and work for them that gives them joy.

And I realised I loved it.

And then there was death.

Over 25 people had died - most of them were 60 or younger.

And I realised

I could die. And not in old age but very soon.

I then asked myself, what would I regret if I died in a year's time?

And the answer

Spending another year working 60 hours a week on something I did not believe in, unhappy and trapped rather than working as a coach and helping people.



And so I started this

To help people like you become free and find your passions and purpose so you can can work on what matters to you.

I have gone through the journey of finding myself in jobs I dislike, where I have burnout and found myself on the sofa at home watching episode after episode on Netflix to try and numb my dissatisfaction.

But I have found my way out of that.

And in doing so, I have found a process I use to help other people. Not only to help them find a career or job right for them. But also for the future.

All the skills you learn through my coaching process are skills you can use in the future.

This means I help you not just for now - but for the next 20 years!

I have been a coach for years - helping people at jobs such as ITV and the BBC, before moving to Berlin and helping people at start-ups, before helping people 1:1 to find the right jobs and life for them.

Let me help you.

Services are normally remote through online video sessions, but there is the VIP In Person option as well.
