KIND WORDS ABOUT
Career clarity and direction
“Hannah helped me initially to identify my values, what was important to me in this next phase of life, and what sort of work I really wanted to do.”
“After a prolonged break from the workplace, I was really uncertain about my next steps and how to balance my desire for a career with my family responsibilities. I had applied for a few jobs but hadn't heard anything back, so I was really feeling lost, and quite alone. A friend recommended Hannah for some career coaching.
Hannah helped me initially to identify my values, what was important to me in this next phase of life, and what sort of work I really wanted to do. She then helped me to explore what that might look like in more detail, and did an outstanding job in updating my CV.
I was really interested in exploring a different kind of career: one that was more tailored to my strengths, and one that would work better to achieve some work/life balance. I had plenty of ideas but no real sense of how to move forward. Hannah helped me to systematically evaluate the possibilities and to keep moving forward in this process. Importantly, she encouraged me to have confidence in my decision making and to start something new. I am now happily studying my Masters and feel confident that I've made the right choice for me at this time.
Highly recommend Hannah’s program - it was my first encounter with a career coach, and I wish I had done it earlier as being more intentional with career choices and roles can build your job satisfaction and general life happiness!”

KIND WORDS ABOUT
Career change and meaningful next steps
“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.”
“Hannah appeared in my socials at exactly the right time with exactly the right message, which prompted to me engage with my employer to support my request for career coaching from Hannah, of which they obliged. I had a burning career question that I wanted an expert view on. Not only did Hannah absolutely nail the advice I needed, but then I managed to attract the exact role I was looking for, which is quantum physics working at its best.
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.
So, if you need some expert guidance about your next career move, then I highly recommend coaching with Hannah.”
