What’s next?


After 20+ years in your chosen career, do you continue down the same path, or try explore a new direction?

Start managing your career

Whether you’re thinking of doing something completely different, looking to become a non-executive director, or transitioning to some sort of consulting or interim career, we all need to know where we’re going. The transition to a new stage in the work life journey can be a real challenge for senior executives.

How do you identify the different options that would be possible for somebody with your background? As we progress in our careers our goals and priorities change, hence the need to rediscover your core purpose, one that aligns with your personal and professional goals.

A professional career coach should be able to help you shape that purpose, and identify a range of realistic options that offer you the potential of a rewarding and meaningful future career.

Take the opportunity to engage with someone who can help you to take that next step in your work life journey.

What is “Career 2.0?”

After a successful and rewarding 30-year career, this might be a good time to explore something quite different, something that will be your focus for the next several years. This is what I call your Career 2.0.

The days of a 40-year career with one employer are a rarity today. Most of us are either already enjoying the challenges and rewards of our Career 2.0 / 3.0, or else we’re wondering what the future may hold. This is the new world of work.

If you’re not ready to retire yet, what kind of options might you consider? How could you leverage the skills and expertise built up over many years to discover a new career?

Don’t allow the limitations of your early career to hold you back. Now is the time to take control and manage your late-stage career proactively.

CEOs and senior executives entering their late-stage career have a wealth of skills and experience to draw on. You may be suited to becoming a non-executive director, board advisor or chairman. Or you may want to consider other options that offer more freedom, greater learning opportunities and totally new experiences.

Find out how I can help you explore your Career 2.0.

  • My clients tend to be senior executives, directors and CEOs, typically in their 50s and 60s, who are at some sort of inflection point in their careers.

    Over the years I've worked with executives in the UK, continental Europe, Africa and Asia in various industries and functions. Today I work with senior executives all over the world.

  • Our service is built around three core elements:

    • Exploring career options and helping you to build clarity around your ideal role, what this could be, and how it fits with your professional experience & personal goals.

    • Developing a personal brand that is clear, compelling and memorable, including your verbal narrative, CV, LinkedIn profile and personal website (where appropriate).

    • Mastering the art of career networking as a tool to help you uncover opportunities that would otherwise remain hidden.

  • I start with a different approach.

    For most people, the old way of just sending out CVs to headhunters and applying for jobs just doesn't work.

    There's a better way of doing this. One that is more focused and more likely to get results.

    My approach is based on developing a career goal that suits you at this stage in your career, building a strong and effective personal brand that neatly summarises who you are and what you represent, and learning how to uncover new opportunities by building and leveraging a stronger personal network.

    I believe in you. As your coach my job is to help you develop the skills that you need in order to succeed, to encourage and motivate you, and to give you the confidence that you can achieve your goals. These skills will stand you in good stead for many years to come.

    Above all I care. Your success matters to me. I won't give up and I will do everything I can to support you in this journey.
