Printed, stapled, ready to go. Two days until Your Career MOT.
If you're on the fence, this is your nudge to grant yourself the headspace to figure out your next career step. A move from where you are towards something different, to get curious and see where it takes you. Where you can no longer say you are stuck but moving, doing something about your situation.

Where do you sit right now, are you stuck in the fog? It's not about having the whole path figured out, it's about naming then taking the next best step. If doing nothing is no longer an option, the Career MOT can be what moves you.

Here's where it's all happening this Friday. The kind of space I wanted, cosy, characterful, with stone walls and exposed beams. Nothing corporate about it.
A half day for yourself, time to stop and think without any distractions, all in a supportive environment to get you some clarity on your next step in your career.
Message me if you need more details or to simply book 😊.

Rebecca came to me when a new role wasn't working out the way she wanted, and she couldn't figure out what her next step should be. She told me she was waking up anxious every day, with no idea what she actually wanted.

Julieanne came to me in the middle of a restructure at work, unsure whether she wanted to stay in a role she'd given years to, or even could. Underneath the uncertainty were feelings she didn't expect, relief, curiosity, even excitement.

We worked through these two situations in the same way the Career MOT is built, looking at their values, what mattered to them, creating a path to get them closer to what they really wanted. Neither of these are from the Career MOT itself, it hasn't run in this format before, but this is exactly the kind of shift this way of working is built to create.

Have a read of more Google reviews from the women who have worked with me.

Friday 25th September, 9.30-1.30, The Cozy Corner, Newry. DM me for a seat.

Some questions you might have about the Career MOT that you don't want to ask.

Is this a pitch for your coaching? - No. You will not be sold anything afterwards. This is to get you to start to take action. The next step is up to you from there.

Is it worth the time on a Friday morning? - Yes, because we protect time for everything except our own career. Four hours, one morning, beats continually thinking about it and that feeling consistently eating at you.

I don't have a big crisis, I just feel 'flat', is this for me? - Hell yes, that's exactly who this is designed for. You don't need to be in freefall, foggy or meh is more than enough reason to be here.

Will I have to bare my soul to a room of strangers? - No. It's reflective, not a confessional. You share what you're comfortable sharing.

What's different from a coffee with a friend? - A friend agrees with you because she loves you. This gives you non-judgemental perspective, and women who'll ask the questions you've been avoiding.

'Something needs to change.' 'I'm so fed up.' 'There must be more than this.' 'Where do I go from here?'
If that's the narrative running in your head lately, you're not on your own. The Career MOT half day workshop is for women who are foggy, stuck, demotivated, languishing in their career and absolutely ready for a change. It's a space to finally let that inner voice be heard, with the intention of acting on it. By the end, you'll have done introspection work, sat with women at different stages of their own careers, and landed on at least one clear intention for where your career goes next. And yes, it's a genuinely nice morning too with tea, coffee, scones and lunch included in the warmest of environments in The Cosy Corner, Newry.
Friday 25th September, 9.30-1.30.

Up that spiral staircase, into a cosy room at the top of the . That's where we'll be doing the work.

Your Career MOT is happening Friday 25th September, 9.30am to 1.30pm. The MOT stands for Moving On Together to Map Out Tomorrow, and that's about as clear as I can get! Women at different stages of life and career starting to make that change they know they need to now focus on.

If you've been feeling that pull to stop and actually think your next steps through, properly, with space to breathe and people around you who get it, this is that room.

I will again mention the food because I personally can't wait for those yummy Cozy Corner scones and lunch, which is included in this half day session.

Spaces are getting even more limited. Message me to learn more and book your spot.

Lovely to see organisations like Collins Aerospace investing in their female workforce. I spent a whole day away with them, away from inboxes, tasks and meetings. This gave them the time to look at the stories they've been telling themselves about who they are and what they're capable of, and to start rewriting the ones that don't hold up. Time to name their achievements out loud and get comfortable with letting people know what they've done isn't bragging, it's building the profile they deserve to have.

Some of the women had only ever known each other as an email address. But, from the get go they were laughing about the same inner critic, comparing notes on the similar imposter thoughts, and realising their colleague from a different department is a World Irish dancing champion, has their own brownie business, spoke in Stormont, or a keen mountain biker!

This is the joy of allowing women time to focus on themselves and support their colleagues in doing the same. While the confidence tools and techniques land well, for me, it's watching people find out how remarkable their colleagues are outside of a job title, and realising that no matter the role or seniority in the room, everyone had felt some version of "I have done hard things and am capable of so much more."

I mean, look at those smiling faces, I love it! 😊
