KickStart Careers Coaching Career coaching for professionals and school leavers, helping them to find purpose driven careers that gives them satisfaction and fulfillment.

Independent School Careers Adviser

Established 2010
http://www.kickstartcareers.co.uk My mission is to help motivated individuals to understand their unique blend of strengths, qualities and characteristics that no one else has, which they can use as a foundation to find and be in control of a purpose driven career in an ever changing world of work. This will serve as a platform for them to truly

express who they are. Why do I do what I do? I never received any careers advice when I was at school and therefore made poor decisions. I have also been through my own career change at the age of 30 because I knew I didn't want to carry on doing what I was doing for any longer than I had to. So I understand where people are coming from when they are confused and I don't want to see anyone else go through the same thing. I work with 3 specific client groups. Firstly, I offer bespoke career coaching programmes for professionals who are seeking a career change or transition because they truly believe that there must be something better for them. The programme is a combination of online tasks and exercises along with face to face or video link sessions. Secondly I also offer a similarly structured bespoke programme for graduates who also feel disillusioned having left university and are not sure about the right career path for them. Thirdly, I conduct career guidance sessions with young people in schools and colleges to help them make well informed and exciting decisions as they start their career. I am happy to connect with schools both nationally and internationally. I use a combination of tools I've picked up in my training, firstly as a Careers Adviser and then as a Life Coach. I will often use the Morrisby Psychometric Assessment with individuals too. My approach is relaxed, holistic, non judgemental and empathetic - I never had careers advice at school and I have been through my own major career change at the age of 30. I am passionate about good quality career guidance and I don't want to see any individual make the same mistakes I did. Experience:
- Providing career coaching, advice and guidance with professionals in the UK and worldwide since 2001
- Psychometric assessments
- 1-1 and group career advice and guidance in schools
