If this is you:

"I'm not happy with my work. I want to re-design and re-build my career. "

here's how I could help you...


Perhaps you've changed jobs or moved countries. Maybe you're doing the same old thing but you have been putting up with too many things, letting other people take you for granted or letting your standards fall. Possibly you've just lost your motivation and you're not sure what to do about it. 

Although you want to change, you may also feel stuck because:

  • you rely on your work to make a living
  • you don't want to give up the security, respect etc. that you have now 
  • you don't know how well you could do in another career 
  • you're not sure what your natural strengths and talents are
  • you are unsure if you could find a better situation 

Nowadays it is not necessary to suffer prolonged periods in this stuck state. Many people re-design and re-build their careers according to their changing desires throughout life. You can do it, despite what obstacles lie in your way. 

Whether or not you feel stuck now, you can save a lot of time and discomfort by getting professional support for this process. I provide customized tools, support and processes to guide you and ensure that you end up in a better place than you started. Here's how:

Step one:

Discover exactly what you don't like about your work or your current lifestyle. We'll start by tuning up or improving whatever we can in your current situation so that you have more energy and optimism to move forward more easily. It sometimes takes some courage to face the things you don't like, especially if you think you can't change them, but I will be there to guide and reassure you.

Step two:

Set aside uncertainties, needs and doubts and ask yourself the question:  "If I had all the money in the world, all the love and respect I needed, what would I do?"  I have many different exercises and questions that will help you find the answers to this question by looking at your past experience and preferences.  This is a key step in the process, and one many people overlook. Only when you know what you actually want (regardless of whether it is possible) do you have any chance of getting it. 

I strongly recommend that you short-cut this step with the help of an assessment tool. Take a look here for the assessment I recommend for career changers. 

Step three:

Once you are clear what kind of outcome you are looking for, I can help you find ways to achieve this ideal situation, step by step, while maintaining the income and benefits that you need. 

If we discover that you would like to change jobs, change careers, start a business, or even retire, I can help you move much more easily through the process by continually clarifying your desires and actions so that you are using your time and energy as efficiently as possible. This is the stage of the process when you will have to face any doubts, uncertainties and unmet needs that have been holding you back. I will also offer and explain many different appropriate resources for your particular needs and situation. 

Everyone is different in their starting point, pace and pattern of going through this process, and it is possible for anyone to do it as long as they are willing, committed and they have the right support. 

I am very effective at coaching people who are changing careers because:

  • I have experience. I have worked with over 150 different people on re-designing and re-building aspects of their lives. 

  • I have re-built my own life several times, notably and most successfully with the help of a personal coach. 

  • I share what I have learned from my other clients' experiences and my own life changes. I encourage you to find the best way forward for your own situation and personality.

  • I will either push you forward or help you take the pressure off, whatever kind of support you need. I believe that sustainable life changes take time and are worth the investment. 

"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."

"You've really helped me to turn things around. Now I'm making an effort to do things and speak up positively for what I want. You put some points in my head that really helped, especially 'What are you going to do about it?'"

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."

Life Coach and Personal Trainer

"I was not content with my current lifestyle, but had taken no action to make any changes. I had several personal habits and professional goals on a "wish list." Angela provided the questions, encouragement, and accountability that I needed to clearly articulate my goals and develop a realistic plan of action to make them attainable. Her support kept me focused and motivated which enabled me to meet my goals within just a few months."

Teacher, Hong Kong International School

Even though I was talking to Angela about my problems, all the solutions were coming out of my mouth. I found it very empowering. I might have overcome my problems without a coach, but not within months. It might have taken years to sort out the root of my problems"
