Coaching for career transitioners
Guidance to identify your transferable strengths, navigate uncertainty, and build the confidence to move into new professional territory — with a thinking partner who's been there.
Does this sound familiar?
- You've outgrown the role you're in, but you can't quite see the one you're moving into.
- You know what you don't want any more. You're less sure what you do want.
- You have a lot of experience, and no idea how to translate it into something new.
- You're hovering at the edge of a decision and looking for someone to help you jump with a plan.
- You want to change what you do without losing who you are.
At a turning point?
Career transitions are rarely only about careers. They're about identity, values, energy, relationships, risk — and the very particular kind of uncertainty that comes with leaving something familiar for something you can only half-describe.
I work one-to-one with people who are on the cusp of a transition — moving out of employment into self-employment, out of academia into industry (or the other way around), into semi-retirement, into a first leadership role, or into something they haven't yet given a name.
What coaching can help with
- Getting clear on what you actually want next, not just what you think you should want
- Identifying your transferable strengths — the ones you've stopped noticing because you use them every day
- Exploring options without committing to them, so you can test how each one feels
- Building the confidence to have the conversations, write the CV, start the business, or make the call
- Managing the in-between — the bit where the old thing is ending and the new thing hasn't fully started
- Finding the peace of making a big decision well, rather than rushing it or avoiding it
What you'll gain
- A clearer picture of what you're moving towards (not just what you're moving away from)
- Confidence in the strengths, experience and values you bring with you
- A plan you actually trust — yours, not a pattern copied from someone else's transition
- The courage to take the next visible step, and the one after that
- A sense of peace and conviction in a decision that used to feel scary
“I've worked with Jenny over a few years. She's always approachable, friendly and effective — instantly making me feel at ease and able to discuss my challenges freely. Jenny helped build my courage to leap into self-employment.”
