I know just how depressing it is to feel unfulfilled and under-rewarded in your job. For years my work was rigidly time-controlled and frequently repetitive. My salary in no way reflected my contribution to the success of the company. I had responsibility but no power. Beyond a certain point I could see no chance of career progression - actually, it wasn't a career - it was just a job. The longer I did it, the less of a challenge it became.

Like you, I would make attempts to find something more fulfilling, something more rewarding, both financially and personally. But the jobs I heard about rarely excited me and nothing that I could think of interested me sufficiently to make any effort seem worthwhile.

A visit to a careers advisor was useless as well. There were tests and interviews. I couldn't wait to hear the results. And what did I get? A list of about 30 careers that "other people with your characteristics" were "often found in". It ranged from cook to probation officer, from forestry to journalism. Well, what? I mean what?! It was like having a battery of medical tests only to have your doctor say, "Well, it could be gout .... or asthma. Or peritonitis. Actually, have you considered pneumonia? What do you think? That'll be £250, please."

But, since I didn't want to settle for a drab job and smaller financial reward, I started thinking about better ways to find your ideal career and I realised that, through my experiences, I had found a pattern that helps people to match who they are to the career that's right for them, to build a financially and emotionally rewarding career. I also realised that my clients had learned from me skills that meant they had got promotion and had opportunities to travel. They had made a significant impact on profitability which had helped them to command a higher salary.

I was so excited I wanted to share this with the 80% of people who are unhappy in their jobs - but how? The big breakthrough came when I found coaching. I understood that it was the best way to share these powerful and effective career-building tools with you. Why? Because it empowers you, it gets to the root of what stands between you and your ideal career and ensures you overcome the obstacles. It's a way of helping people that doesn't impose my own ideas.

As your coach, I help you gain a clear picture of what you need. It's a fun, exciting journey of discovery, brings tangible material rewards and is the fastest way I know to help you get results.

I wanted to be sure that I would be coaching you to the highest standards so I took a course with the highly-rated Newcastle College, developed in conjunction with Fiona Harrold, one of the UK's leading coaches. I hold the BTEC Certificate in Life Coaching Skills and Practice. So that I can bring you even more powerful and effective career-building tools, I also continue to work with my highly experienced and innovative coaches' coach to update and improve my professional skills.
