I would highly recommend Claudia’s coaching services. I had six life coaching sessions, where we focused on my career aspirations. We would focus on different topics over the weeks, including how to use LinkedIn, how to approach my boss and start a conversation about promotional opportunities, updating my CV and promoting myself and skills to new employers. Before starting the sessions, I had struggled for years with trying to decide which career path to go down.

In their own words

Claudia was excellent as a Coach and proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks. Having spent almost 30 years working in the commercial sector, Claudia helped me get clarity and a new perspective on how my wealth of skills and experiences could be easily transferred across to the Public Sector. Claudia, provided me with language, structure and methodologies to use when approaching a career change. I highly recommend Claudia to those wanting sound advice, solid tools and a friendly face.
