I am an ICF fully Accredited professional Coach with over 15 years’ experience coaching leaders, managers and individuals around the world.

 

Based in South Buckinghamshire in the UK, I originally worked as a Career Coach for the BBC in London as part of a 20 year career.  Since 2010 I have worked with global organisations as well as individuals supporting them to navigate career change, transition and maximise their career potential.

 

I fell in love with the impact and effectiveness of coaching and set up my own successful career coaching practice, Munro Careers, in 2010.  I continue to love it, pursue it, and develop it with a passion.

 

I am particularly proud of my work coaching and facilitating career transition workshops for UK Military Service leaders transitioning out of the UK’s Armed Forces into civilian employment.  For over 12 years I have been helping them to recognise their strengths, manage difficult change and transition, increase their self-confidence and create a strong sense of purpose.

 

I see myself as a “thinking partner”; someone who accompanies my clients on theirr journey, sits with them in the passenger seat or walks by their side, gently supporting and guiding them safely, without personal agenda, as they navigate and develop their unique career journeys; holding a safe space for them to increase their self-awareness, focus, vision and confidence to create the insights needed to enable change.

 

I help facilitate often complex and challenging conversations around career decisions; help them navigate the blocks and barriers, adjust the pace, guide them along unfamiliar paths until they have the confidence and clarity they were seeking.

 

I trained with the award winning Career Counselling Services and have taken extensive training and qualifications with the World Class Coaching School Barefoot Coaching gaining accreditation by the International Coaching Federation, the Gold Standard of the global Coaching world.

 

I work with clients all around the world from private and personal individuals to businesses and corporate clients including:

 

• BetterUp– the World’s largest Mental Health and Coaching company.  I Coach global leaders through the BetterUp platform to help them live with greater clarity, purpose, and passion.

 

• The Career Transition Partnership/ Right Management   I facilitate Career Transition Workshops to Military personnel transitioning out of the UK’s Armed Forces in to civilian employment.  For over 12 years I’ve enabled thousands of Service Leavers to create amazing careers around the world.

 

• Rest Less– the UK’s fastest growing digital membership community, built to inspire the over 50s.  I coach their members through career change and transition, helping them to showcase their wealth of experience to new audiences with confidence.

 

On a more personal note, I am at my most content when I am gardening, being out in nature or painting; whether that’s pictures, furniture or walls.  When it’s too cold or wet, I like nothing more than doing puzzles, jigsaws, reading good book or watching a great drama or film!

I am trained and qualified as a Career Coach, Career Counsellor, Careers Adviser, Career Consultant and Accredited ACC Coach with the ICF,  adhering to their strict code of ethics.

 

I am expertly qualified and experienced to support you in any of the following areas:

 

Career Development – helping you to get that promotion, planning and creating goals to facilitate successful career progression.

 

Career Confidence – improving your confidence at work, presenting yourself professionally in meetings, effectively managing your working relationships.

 

Career Change and Transition – supporting you to make meaningful and successful change in your career, whether that’s finding your next promotion, job role or enabling you to get clarity and identify a completely new career and identifying the steps needed to get you there.

 

Enabling clarity, getting un-stuck – helping you with particular problems and challenges where you feel stuck and need new ideas and clarity.  Coaching enables you to start seeing things from a different perspective and enables you to co-create new visions and ideas that don’t exist yet.

 

Dealing with over-whelm and burn-out – helping you to identify the areas in which you feel overwhelmed and supporting you with strategies and guidance to overcome them.

 

Team Coaching – working with you and your team(s) to work through organisational change programs, build collaborative and effective working relationships and communication.

 

Workplace Performance – working with you and your team(s) to support and enable effective workplace performance, helping you to deliver and promote personal and professional potential.

 “When the fog of fear and doubt clears, the path appears, beckoning the first step”.  Let me walk the path with you.

 

I believe there is no greater reward than building professional and authentic relationships with my clients.  I am passionate about getting the very best from people, so they can get the absolute best for themselves.

 

My passions and values are all centred around working with integrity, helping others to achieve meaning and success and working with sense of purpose.

 

I will not tie you in to any pre-set Career Coaching programs. I strongly believe every client and every team is different and needs a unique approach to support them.  So, I build everything around you!

 

I totally appreciate how taking that initial step to engage with a Career Coach is a challenging and sometimes scary one – it’s about being brave and being comfortable asking for some professional help or support.

 

Equally, if your company or organisation is going through a change program or wants to invest in supporting its employees to reach their potential, get in touch.

 

I offer a free 30 minute telephone ‘Career Conversation‘ so you can find out if it’s right for you.  I will send you a full Career Coaching Information pack and arrange a follow up call to answer any questions you may have.

 

Trust is critical to any successful working relationships.  Which is why I am fully compliant with GDPR Regulations and have both Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance.  For your added security and assurance, I am also fully DBS checked.  As I am contracted to work directly with Military Service Leavers, I am also Security Checked to a very high level.
