With intimate experience of midlife transitions, I support individuals on their journey as they contemplate and take steps towards the next stage. They may be experienced professionals who have already ended their full-time career and are looking for inspiration, clarity and new direction. Or perhaps they are feeling stuck, bored and disoriented, or else navigating a complex career change.
Working in partnership, I provide a reflective space for these “midlifers” and older individuals to examine their lives, careers and life-work, to explore what “a good life” means for them, and to discover what is joyful and fulfilling. We might inquire into who they would like to become and what legacy they would like to leave behind. With those wanting to make a positive difference, we plan for purposeful action, identifying any unhelpful habits and attitudes they could change and which talents, capacities, relationships and networks they could tap into as resources.
Together in dialogue we expand and create a greater sense of possibility, agency and active hope, while appreciating the benefits of age and maturity such as experience, wisdom and resilience. My coaching approach is broad and holistic as well as practical and philosophical.
