HOW SESSIONS WORK:

THE 3-STEP APPROACH

UNDERSTAND

The first 3 sessions are 1.5 hours because understanding yourself is the foundation upon which everything else sits. Deep diving into your professional past and pre-session questionnaire unearths key frustrations, stumbling blocks, likes and dislikes so we unearth what happiness and success means to you. We then identify and analyse your values and aspirations to bottom out how fulfilment, meaning and purpose would manifest in your ideal life and round off by identifying your interests, passions, strengths, weaknesses and possible career options before deep-diving into career map exploration.

CREATE

The next 3 sessions focus on exploring career options in greater depth with easy to use research strategies and top tips from leading career experts to help take the stress out of finding the right career for you. In between session support minimises overwhelm while sessions provide an essential mirror to hold a mirror up to you, helping you cut through confusion and complexity and connect with career options that truly energise and excite you. Once you understand what you need to be happy, you can start formulating your dream job description, learn how to bridge any gaps and move confidently in the direction of your dreams. As well as supporting you with templates for success which have got me into the top jobs, I weave life coaching support through career coaching sessions because most life transitions require mindset mastery to leverage real change.

TRANSFORM

Consolidating your personal brand is essential in building your sales toolkit and sealing the dream-job deal. Combining my strong commercial and creative acumen and proven track record securing jobs in leading companies, I help take the stress out of the selling yourself, providing you with a killer toolkit to land your dream job, nailing the all-important CV, cover letter, applications and interview. It really is simple when you know the rules of the game. After each session, I send you inspiring guidance and resources which are carefully tailored to your needs. These help motivate and inspire you to achieve your goals, keeping momentum and motivation in full flow. I put 120% into coaching and always achieve results with clients who are committed to change.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

❝I was referred to Melanie at a point when my I felt trapped in a frustrating role and working environment. Melanie proved to be a lifeline and a joy to work with as she: got me to articulate what really matters to me in my working life; has turned my frustrations into inspirations; and always ended each session with a practical ‘to do’ list. Melanie’s sessions have not only allowed me to focus my thought processes on what I want and need from my career but also helped me work out a practical approach for pushing my current career in the direction I want it to go. Each session left me feeling energised and positive. I could not recommend her enough❞

❝The last time I felt this inspired after a coaching session was when I was lucky enough to join a group coaching session at Google with the in-house coach, usually only reserved for very senior employees. Mel's energy is infectious. I cannot emphasise enough how finding her has made all the difference❞

❝Melanie has been an amazing coach and I highly recommend her. Thanks her I could understand which career path I wanted to take. She helped me focus, see the right opportunities and gave me fantastic advice and exercises to issue my success. The coaching process and working with Melanie truly helped me in my job search and to find the right job for me. I am glad that I chose career coaching and more specifically, to have been coached by Melanie❞

❝Melanie is an excellent careers adviser and coach. She delivered exceptional guidance to our law students here at BPP University during one-to-one consultations and workshops, helping them secure legal training contracts and pupillages with leading firms and chambers. She successfully launched Resilience and Commercial Awareness Masterclasses, delivering a range of workshops including How to Nail Applications and How to Excel on Vacation Schemes. She's very sociable, a great colleague, extremely committed and professional. I really can't recommend Melanie enough❞

❝As recent graduate from the LSE I have spoken to several careers advisers from the university, with regards to job prospects and aspirations. Melanie provided the clearest and most thoughtful advice. She provided thorough strategic advice, whilst also offering more of a philosophical approach; asking me to think about what excites me. Melanie is engaging and clearly interested in helping people and I am grateful for all of the advice!❞

❝We had a practice interview on Tuesday when you helped me prepare for my interview for a project development internship in Jordan. I felt a lot more confident and better prepared during my interview than I ever did before, and I received a job offer from them today. I really am over the moon and I would like to thank you again for your invaluable help and insight, it did make a big difference❞

WHY WORK WITH ME?

As a lawyer turned Career + Mindset Coach with experience working in leading organisations across a range of industries, I’m a commercial creative hybrid who knows what organisations are looking for. My analytical strengths help you deconstruct the complex quickly + gain laser-focus clarity to strategize effectively + effect change, fast. As a trained telephone counsellor + NLP Practitioner, I’m empathetic + intuitive, with an interactive style which energises clients. My approach is integrative and highly bespoke, tailoring my coaching, counselling + commercial expertise to your personal + professional needs. Everyone is different, which is why I have a free discovery call with clients before working with them. This ensures we are the right fit + allows me to adapt the coaching programme to your individual requirements whether mindset mastery, professional transition or strategic approach.

WHAT ELSE?

My passion for coaching stems from diverse life experience which has seen me navigate (not always bright and breezily, I might add) different countries, corporate environments, challenges + adventures from property, PR, law + higher education to South America, Madrid, Chamonix and beyond. What I can safely say I’ve learnt along the way is what lies beneath true happiness, how fulfilment really works + – more importantly – how I can help you get there – your version of it, your way. Because no matter how different we may seem, we all operate within a similar framework of happiness. We’re frustrated when we live our lives at odds with our values + we’re inspired when we learn what makes us tick. Once we identify what drives us + we reshape our daily lives in accordance with our values, life becomes a lot less stressful + a lot more fulfilling.
