“I LOVED the programme. It was well structured and helped me to see my strengths and my superpowers. Before the programme, I felt like I was directionless. I really did not know what I was good at any more or where I was going. My sessions with Gemma (and the follow up activities) made me look at what I had achieved and made me realise that I had plenty of strengths. It gave me a new sense of confidence and the belief to invest in myself further. I have a better idea of my skills and my interests, and how I can create a work life which is full of joy. I’m excited about my future career and how I can shape it. Thank you Gemma! I have found the whole experience hugely enjoyable.”
— Charlotte Davies, Conversion Copywriter, Career Change Coaching
“At the start of this journey I felt professionally broken and had no idea about who I was or what I could do. I am in an entirely different professional space. From viewing myself as having no prospects, and even less to offer, I am now back doing the things I love and am confident enough to apply for challenging roles that I thought were out of my league. Constructively challenging, Gemma helped me to confront and overcome barriers at all levels, including emotional. She was non-judgmental, turned negatives into positives and helped me to re-orientate from self-perceived failure to real successes. ”

This experience wasn’t just about my career - this was about reviewing every aspect of my life and realising what made me happy.

I now feel excited for the future and the possibilities waiting for me. With Gemma’s help, I am confident I will find my dream job. Gemma has been a great support.
