For a long time, I worked within the Heritage Sector, leading a Visitor
Experience team at several places within the South West, helping to look after
special places to leave a leagacy for future generations. I loved my purposeful
work, developing my team and seeing them grow in their skills, experience and
ultimately confidence to become the best version of themselves which enabled
them to deliver high levels of service to everyone visiting. In 2014 and 2018 I
negotiated returning to my role on a flexible working pattern after being on
parental leave twice. I did this through recruiting, training and developing a
fantastic team of staff and volunteers to support the visitor operation.
Enabling me to lead on the department’s business plan objectives and also lead
the visitor experience of a major £3.2 million restoration project. Discovering
what I wanted and making it happen In 2020, as a result of the fall out of the
Covid pandemic, I took voluntary redundancy. I knew that I wanted to use my
people skills in my next career path, so with my warm, calm and empathetic
approach and a desire to reach and help far more people, after my own journey of
self explorations, I decided I wanted to become a coach! So in 2020, I decided
to make it official and went through a rigorous training programme for 11
months, to achieve my diploma and become a certified Personal Devlopment coach
with The Coaching Academy. I now use my coaching to help.. -Parents achieve
clarity, happiness and fulfilment in life, enabling them to be the shining light
for their children, showing them what is possible. - Senior Professionals who
have worked in a role for many years and are questioning their next steps and
are seeking clarity, direction and professional career transition suppport.
Being a mum and a senior professional in my previous career, there were many
times where I would have loved support to work out my steps in life. Figuring
this out on your own can be hard. My skillset and support This is where I can
help you, I've done it the hard way so you don't have to. Drawing on my
experience, professional coaching skills and working through my bespoke
'Re-connection & Life Balance' Programme, I can help you make the right choices
to live a happy and fulfilled life. If you need help with interview preparation
I offer this as a stand alone or part of a coaching package. Drawing on my 15
years of recruitment & selection experience in the conservation and charity
sector. I offer coaching and mentoring to build your confidence in applying and
attending interviews so you have a good chance of securing that dream role.
