Embrace Change This Summer: A Heart-Led Approach to Career Growth
With September around the corner and the 'New Year Feeling' it evokes (regardless of how long it’s been since our own school days), the summer is an opportune moment to reflect on what's next in your career journey and personal development and to start thinking about your career goals and aspirations.
To help guide you through this period of reflection and planning, I’d like to introduce the SHAKE It Up coaching system. This approach, which I use with clients when career coaching, is also perfect for self-coaching. It’s summed up in an easy-to-remember acronym, SHAKE, and today we’re going to explore the H - Heart-Led.

Shake Up Your Resolution Game: A Fresh Approach to Smashing Your New Year’S Goals
Are you making New Year’s Resolutions this year?
What’s your track record with resolutions? What kinds of things have you resolved to do? And have you kept them?
Over the years, mine have included spending less time on my phone, being on time, and going to bed earlier.
They have been resolutions that I have 100% meant at 11.59 pm on New Year’s Eve, and have managed to keep for maybe… a month.
Sound familiar?
Why is it that we make resolutions with good intentions, resolutions that we know will help us be happier, healthier, or more productive, but often struggle to keep them longer term?
Navigating Career Change: Confronting the 'Risk Sharks' and Embracing Growth
Avoiding change as far as possible can feel like the most sensible, ‘safest’ choice. But, paradoxically, playing it safe is the riskiest move of all.

The Story of the Glitter Jar
Coaching is like picking up the glitter jar and giving it a good shake. The questioning and curiosity that coaching allows agitates the glitter, and your thoughts and understanding of the world begin whirling around, shifting, finding new space.
