Melinda asked for my help having been working for a year since graduation in a job she just wasn’t interested in.  Completing the Emerging Talent Programme (the graduate level of the Talent Transformation Programme) meant she had all the knowledge of what she was looking for and how to go out there and get it.

Elizabeth came to me as she wanted to move on from her current job but lacked the confidence to really sell herself.  Through a number of guidance sessions we delved into why this was and helped her to identify her strengths and skills with tangible examples and then followed this up with a CV coaching session.  Prior to our working together, she’d been applying for jobs for over a year, gaining very few interviews and no job offers.  After only a few sessions with me, she contacted me with the happy news about a new job she’d just accepted!  Needless to say, I was thrilled for her and delighted to have played a part in her success.

Natalie, founding director of Innervate Careers, was keen to support her team of associates with their CPD and follow a quality assurance process, but managing a highly successful and busy business meant she was stretched.  Through a series of Zoom meetings, I clarified what her real ‘pain points’ were around recruitment and development, and made suggestions of how I could help her to move forward positively.  I then helped her to implement them including writing a skills matrix to assess development needs, delivered CPD training days and supported with a new induction process for trainees.  I also led observations to check standardised quality of careers sessions and mentored new trainee Careers Advisers.  With this model, her previous recruitment challenges are over, as she’s able to recruit from a much broader talent pool, knowing a full development plan is in place.
