Find a career that works for you
Career Coaching
I help people find a career that works for them (notice I don’t say ‘perfect or dream career’ - let’s not put pressure on ourselves!). I understand that we all struggle at different times to choose the next step or to move forward in our jobs. Perhaps you are feeling bored in your current role and want a step up or you have been made redundant and would like a career change. Are you burnt out and want an option with a better life balance? There are lots of reasons you may want to change - I can help with all of them.
Using evidence-based coaching techniques we will explore where you are currently, and where you want to get to and come up with a plan for next steps.
If you are unsure of what package would suit you best, then feel free to book a free 30 min consultation below. The call is an opportunity to see if I am the right coach for you and if so, understand what the next steps will be.
What my clients say:
-
My sessions with Ciara enabled me to see a more balanced, holistic version of my career by highlighting the previous times I've owned my path or had a different attitude. When I first reached out to Ciara, I was feeling very deflated and out of control but her questions and curiosity empowered me change my mindset and be open to new opportunities. Ciara provides great resources/templates from various resources for self-discovery or structuring decision making process. In addition to that, our mock interview was crucial for me to excel during the actual interviews.

My sessions with Ciara were really instrumental in helping me to remove the blocks that were preventing me from striving for change within my work life. Ciara took the time to build up a comprehensive picture of my career coaching needs and this allowed her to tailor the sessions to my specific requirements. Her insightful and positive approach provided me with a comfortable and supportive space in which to envisage a pathway to change. I found the sessions to be very impactful and motivating and would highly recommend Positive Prospects to anyone who is seeking to make a meaningful change in their life.

I really enjoyed my sessions with Ciara. Even when I felt like I was rambling nonsense, she was able to guide me into articulating my point in a way that allowed me to be completely honest with her and myself. I began these sessions in the hope that I would be able to find my next steps in my career and life in general, and Ciara has done just that. Ciara made it very easy for me to speak comfortably with her, she was so supportive throughout and made me feel confident in my self. Highly recommend.

Don’t worry, we can figure this out in your free consultation call. I understand when you feel stuck in your career and life that it can be hard to know exactly what to do next. That is what the sessions are for - to help you understand what you require from your career and how to get there.

Coaching is helping someone to unlock their personal potential.
In career coaching it is usually a mixture of careful questioning to understand your needs and to empower you to unlock answers.
If relevant I will also recommend some psychometric tests and provide workbooks for you to complete between sessions.

This totally depends on your needs.
2 sessions can often be enough if you already have an idea of what you would like to do next and just need some help on next steps.
If you would like to work on an entire career pivot or are totally unsure of what you would like to do next, then 4 sessions might be more suitable.
