stop trying to find your true self

Conventional career transition advice urges you to find your true self by analysing or planning your way into your new career. But evidence suggests that change doesn’t work like that.
Change is messy, exploratory, tentative, open-ended, haphazard
– in short, change is changeable. 

It’s doing rather than thinking that helps us learn about ourselves. And if you’re doing something new you know that when you come to reflect, you’ll have something new to reflect on.
These experiments and tests teach us what is really appealing and feasible, creating the opportunities for deep change

the best way to find yourself is to flirt with many possibilities

A framework to support you to act your way into the changes you want:

  • focus your attention on which of your many possible selves you want to test and learn more about
  • gauge how the outcomes feel internally & externally.
  • expand the variety of possibilities and take advantage of the events in your life to rework outdated self-perceptions
  • widen your networks of people who can help you grow into your new self

change happens in fits and starts

Like the moon, you go through phases whether you like it or not.
There are times when you’re open to real change and times when you’re not.
Coaching can help you seize opportunities when they appear and then step back, reflect and allow your insights to gel.
A good coaching conversation prepares you to make room for the new by getting rid of some of the old

from people I've coached

"I greatly valued my coaching sessions with Catherine. The professional outcome of this was that during the period of coaching I was able to transition into a new industry and role. This had been an aspiration for some time and the coaching sessions helped to focus my approach and importantly to be clear on my personal and professional goals."

"As a result of the workshop the new team members were able to be integrated into the group and to feel that their contribution was as valued as that of the long-standing members. The existing colleagues at all levels gained new insights into each other. We were all left invigorated and with a clear action plan to support us in continuing to build on the outputs and outcomes of the session. Fantastic."

"Catherine's highly empathetic approach gave me the space I needed to work through recent tough professional experiences to find myself again and reconnect with my values and strengths."
