You want to grow, contribute and be rewarded to your full potential. You want to find a much bigger challenge, but you're not sure how to make that happen. Maybe there are changes happening that will force you to move. It could be a merger, a new boss, a completed project or changing market conditions that could force you out or into a new role. Or you may have personal reasons for wanting to move. You want to position yourself for maximum advantage when the changes come. Maybe you're currently in a bad situation with a boss or in a chaotic work environment that drives you crazy, frustrates you, or wastes your time. You may need to change the way you work, or else make some tough career decisions. It's not easy to manage these situations, BUT... there is a simple solution to all of these problems. And it is also a chance to begin a process that will accelerate your personal growth and career potential in the long run.

For example: If you are considering a significant career change, we'll help you look objectively at the pros and cons in relation to your most important needs and desires. If you feel confused or overwhelmed, we'll help you stay calm in your current situation, while looking for the best possible choices based on your core preferences. If you doubt your ability to get the job you want, we'll help you understand your strengths and weaknesses so that you can promote yourself more effectively. If you find yourself blocked from advancing in your current organization, we'll help you realize exactly how you can get unblocked. And we can support you to make the changes you choose. With this support, you can plan your career development more effectively. Self-awareness helps you find the best position proactively, avoiding costly mistakes, and enhancing your long term strategy. Self-awareness Of course, by now you know yourself quite well. And there is still more to learn. Research has shown that managers and leaders who know themselves better are more successful than those who don't. (Lombardo & RW Eichinger, 2004; Golemen, 1998; Boyatzis, 1982) What do you most enjoy about work? What gets you excited? What wakes you up in the morning? What makes work easy? What dis-empowers you? What do you avoid, sometimes to your detriment? What parts of yourself do you need to build for success at the next level? These are the kinds of questions we can help you answer accurately and thoroughly. Knowing yourself deeply is the first key to getting what you want in your career. What Will You Get? You'll gain a much deeper understanding of yourself in relation to your career. And with the help of an expert coach, you'll discover for yourself the best course of action. You'll find clarity, relief, insight, realization and motivation to act.

What's Really Stopping You from Making Progress in Your Career? Many people waste years of their lives thinking that they should be able to find solutions to their career problems by themselves. What's stopping you? Is it lack of time? The reality of our modern lives is that most of us are too busy just keeping up and we don't make the mental space for reflection about these important issues. It's easy to procrastinate over making career changes. The assessments we offer, plus the coaching, will save a lot of time and get you started on this important task. And we'll follow-up to help you keep taking at least small steps so that you can make steady progress. Are you lacking a neutral sounding board? Despite their good intentions, your friends and family are not the best people to support you with career decisions. They are not neutral advisors because they care too much. They have their own agendas for you. They want to keep you safe and close to them. Or they have their own biases that stop them from seeing what is best for you. To make the most effective career decisions, you need a neutral sounding board who can help you understand yourself, all sides of you, and is willing to talk openly about the reality of your situation. That's how we can help. Are you stuck? If you're feeling stuck, there are two possible reasons: 1) you know what you need to do but you don't feel comfortable with the risk; 2) you don't have enough perspective on the situation. We can help you clarify and mitigate the risks, and gain the perspective to see the way out of your situation. When you're stuck, the smartest thing is to do something different! That's the only way to get unstuck. We can help. Will One Meeting Be Enough to Resolve Your Career Problems? Many of our clients find that the insight gained with the assessments is enough for them to find their motivation. Once they are feeling clear and confident, they will carry on with the changes on their own. But career development can be complex, and many more of our clients find they want more support. It may take more time to navigate all the decisions, processes and self-development steps necessary to get on the path of success. We offer a variety of telephone and in-person coaching packages that you can consider once you have completed this first step. We want to fully support you. Whether or not you choose to continue with coaching, we're sure that the assessments and this meeting will be a highly valuable step towards resolving your problems. And the most important thing is to keep moving. Take a step forward today! Are You Ready? How many months or years have you been wasting in a job that doesn't suit you? How much longer are you going to suffer with an inadequate boss, a boring work environment or other daily frustrations? How long can you put off making the decisions that will put you on track to a fulfilling career? With the support of a coach and these assessments, you'll simplify the process of self-discovery and quickly make the decisions or find the insights that have been blocking your progress, guaranteed. We want to support you to LOVE YOUR WORK. Everyone deserves to love what they do, and the world is a better place when we all are fulfilled and successful at our work. Cheers,

"I would
highly recommend life coaching as an incredibly effective way to
get the most out of life. I would not hesitate to recommend
Carole Lewis as a very professional life coach whose patience
and extensive experience makes reaching ones goals an enjoyable
experience."
"I found Angela to be an excellent coach. She
has a great skill at listening, and at getting to the heart of the matter. She
made valuable suggestions for change, and pushed me beyond my own limits to
take action quickly. Through coaching, I was able to make some dramatic
changes in both my personal and professional life."
Get clear, and get moving. "I guess you could say I am one of your successes. My motivation has changed so much in the last few months. I've now got a strategy for how to get the job I want." Senior Executive, Property Industry, Hong Kong
Make better choices, that you might not have made on your own. "I've now been running my own business for a year (almost to the day). I'm earning more than I did at my previous job, working fewer hours (or at least hours under my own control), and I'm happier than I've been in a very long time! My previous employer is now a client - and every time I go back there for meetings, it's obvious I made the right decision to leave. ... I wanted to thank you for your kind words of encouragement and your useful assessment tools, which definitely helped to get the ball rolling." L. Yu, Director, The Wordsmith Company, Hong Kong
Find ways to enjoy the adversity and uncertainty of transition. "I really appreciate our conversations, as you always manage to help me see things in a different light, which somehow makes this difficult process easier. Our discussion the previous week ... was especially powerful. I think that is a life-long lesson that I will come back to repeatedly." Senior Executive, Finance Industry, Hong Kong
Feel excited and motivated about your future. "Wow. With just one question I totally shifted from being stuck, to feeling motivated and excited about my plans. Now I can really get moving." Senior Manager, Banking Industry, Hong Kong
Learn How to Manage and Motivate Your Team
“I have been working with Angela
for close to a year and found her to be an excellent coach – she
has a unique ability to be both reassuringly supportive and
constructively critical at the same time. Her probing questions
forced me to re-examine the decisions I took and why, helping me
to better understand both what drives me and the people that work
for me.”
