Career Coaching
I partner with individuals to provide direction to their career and coach them to develop and implement a successful plan.
Career Direction
The pace of change within organisations, and the roles required, creates the need for individuals to adapt and renew their career plans to reflect the changing nature of the workplace. Organisations recognise this and provide individualised career coaching to build a resilient and adaptable executive. We work with the individual to provide clarity to their career plan and develop options. A consistent message for all those we coach is “exhaust the opportunities within your current organisation first”.

TESTIMONIALS
“I was looking for someone who understood executive life and who had broad senior executive experience and chose Bruce after interviewing a number of candidates. Bruce is a coach who helped to validate my thinking then steer and guide my energies through the career transition period, He gave me the opportunity to reflect on my priorities and concentrate on longer term objectives, enabling me to have a clear message and purpose for my career direction. I enjoyed his relaxed coaching style in monitoring the tone and health of the process and the provision of insight, direction and suggestions where appropriate. Bruce provided a valuable sounding board, guidance and a checkpoint that I was on the right track. He was an advocate of a disciplined approach which I admired and I felt that the organised approach through coaching helped build on my confidence and purpose. I was thrilled to work with Bruce to achieve my long term career goal.”
“I asked for Bruce’s help as I was particularly unhappy in the professional role I had at the time, and was keen to look for other opportunities. Bruce encouraged me to more clearly define what I was looking for, to actively reflect on my strengths and to be much more confident in promoting my skills and experience that I could use to negotiate a new role. As a coach Bruce acted as a mirror to help me see what I couldn’t see and to envisage a way forward. Bruce has great expertise as a coach and is an outstanding listener. He didn’t tell me what to do – he just got me tell myself! As it turned I was able to negotiate a great role where I am much happier and much more productive. ”
“I engaged Bruce because I trusted him to provide the framework and guidance that I needed to achieve my career goals. Bruce brings an incredibly diverse and authentic perspective to the discussion, drawing on his corporate, not for profit and life experience that provides real credibility for his clients. His special talent was in tailoring the method of engagement to suit me and my situation. He coached me to develop and execute an extensive and multi layered plan to secure my next executive role which was successful.”
