Career and workplace strategy for people and organisations

Helping people and organisations create work that works

Hi I’m Hannah, a career and workplace strategist, working with individuals and organisations to help people and workplaces get clear on what they’re good at, what they want, and how that translates into meaningful work.

For individuals, this might mean supporting people at a career crossroads, whether they are unsure of direction, wanting to progress, or ready to take a more intentional next step. Some are getting clear on what they want and what they offer. Others already have that clarity but need support turning it into traction through positioning, confidence, and a more effective job search or progression strategy. This work helps people move forward with clarity, confidence and intention.

For organisations, it is the same core work applied differently. Helping people understand where they add value, supporting people through change or redundancy, and enabling stronger internal mobility, while also helping organisations bring their EVP and employee experience to life so people are clear on what is on offer and how they can grow within it.

Across all of it, the focus is practical support that helps people make decisions, take action, and move forward in their careers.

Find the support that fits what you’re navigating

For individuals

Career strategy and professional branding for people who want more from their work

You may be questioning what comes next, wanting to progress in your career, navigating a leadership transition, rebuilding professional confidence or looking for work that feels more aligned with who you are now.

This pathway is for individuals who want clarity, direction and practical support to move forward with more confidence and intention.

For organisations

Outplacement and workplace consulting for big-hearted organisations that value their people

You may be supporting people through change, redundancy or transition, developing high-performing employees, strengthening internal mobility or looking for a more thoughtful way to support retention and career progression.

This pathway is for organisations that want to support their people with care, clarity and practical outcomes.

It’s All Connected

Work doesn’t sit in isolation.

It’s shaped by identity, confidence, ambition, relationships, responsibility and life outside of work. When those things are out of alignment, people feel it. When they come back into alignment, things become clearer, steadier and more intentional.

At Small Circle, the work is practical, strategic and deeply human. Whether the focus is career clarity, career reinvention, professional confidence, outplacement or workplace coaching, the aim is always to help people understand their value, make clear decisions and move forward with confidence.

Strategic career support with a deeply human approach

I’ve worked with hundreds of clients across all stages of their careers, from emerging professionals through to senior leaders and CEOs, across private, public and not-for-profit sectors.

Most people come to Small Circle through referrals, recommendations or repeat work.

The work is highly strategic and focused on real outcomes. At the same time, the experience of working together is deeply human and tailored to getting the best out of the person in front of me.

One connected approach, shaped around what you need

Every pathway begins with the same core work: helping people understand their value, make clear decisions and move forward with confidence.

From there, support is tailored to what you’re navigating — whether you’re seeking career clarity, preparing for your next move, supporting people through transition or building stronger pathways for development at work.

  • “Hannah was a great support during a very challenging time, both in my career, and also generally in life. Her level of understanding was superior, not only to see things from my point of view but also to be able to see the situation for what it is and challenge me when necessary to reach a positive outcome."

    —Sofie | Sales Professional | Sydney

  • "If you are seeking a coach who will inspire you, challenge you, and support you every step of the way, then look no further. Her coaching has not just impacted my career; it has changed my outlook on professional challenges and opportunities. I am immensely grateful for Hannah’s insights and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their career trajectory.”

    —Jocelyn | Marketing Strategist | Melbourne

  • "What I really got out of my sessions was so much more than I expected. It wasn’t just about nailing my next role but taking a bird’s eye view of my whole life and how I want to design it. The sessions gave me the space and focus to really think about what I wanted holistically in the near – and short-term future."

    —Heidi | Banking Sector | Melbourne

  • "“When I found myself navigating unexpected changes in my employment, Hannah was more than a coach — she was a lifeline and a safety net. In a time that felt disorienting, Hannah offered calm, clarity, and a space where I could regroup without judgment."
