Executive career coach needed Post Reply

[MTC]

I am a senior level professional in finance / consulting and am looking to change careers. Does anyone have suggestions on career coaches who work with senior execs? Desperately need to talk to someone! Thank you.

My husband sees Jane Stephens at Hayhill Partners http://www.hayhillpartners.com/jane-stephens/
She's been very good

You should speak to a career coach called Sam Waterfall. He specialises in making job seekers the obvious candidate for their ideal next role. He helped me land my latest senior role. So I'm happy to recommend. His email is sam@obviouscandidate.com.

Hello
Jumping on this post to ask if anyone could tell roughly the fee range for a job coach such as the ones recommended here ?
I have been thinking about it for some time but I feel that the fee will simply be unaffordable for me right now ...
thanks

I've recommended him on here to someone before, but try Phil Cox at www.coxandcompanypeople.com

He coaches at a high level in the City including Partner development work, but he also works in a variety of other industries and as he is a qualified counsellor he brings a highly empathic style. When I was considering a career change, he helped me realise what I really wanted and needed, as opposed to the ideas about which I was idly daydreaming!

Good luck...

I used James Bianco at http://www.16degreescoaching.co.uk/ He's Brighton based but in London 3 times a week. Think he charges about £60/hr. He has great energy.

I can recommend Phil Bolton of Less Ordinary Living - ex Deloittes, very helpful if you want to expand your thinking, sound on business planning etc too:
http://www.lessordinaryliving.com/home
From memory, 5 sessions of an hour each come in under £1,000.

What would be amazing is like a meet up / speed dating session with all the local career coaches where you could meet for a few minutes, read literature and understand how they work, costs etc... a big like the amazing Mum's meet up Nappy Valley organise....

Just a thought as there are obviously so many people out there looking but not really knowing where to start...

Such a great idea! I would certainly be interested.

I'm sure there are lots of fab careers coaches out there.
But don't forget that the chances are you already know lots of amazing people that have done all sorts of interesting careers.
So don't forget to use your existing network to bat around ideas and find out more about industries you might not have considered.
The mummy network especially is really powerful and most mums are delighted to be able to offer a little help or advice.
