Career Change stories

“Miriam is an excellent career and life coach. When I first started speaking to her, I was looking for a steer on how to pursue my career aspirations. She helped me work through that by listening to my thoughts, asking insightful questions and helping me structure my thoughts. I could then break down my goals into actionable steps with her help. She also made me think of things I may have missed out in my thought process to further enhance my approach.

She enabled key career decisions that helped me move forward. Her sessions brought the right focus to my actions and made me think about my short, medium and longer term goals. One of the things I wanted to master early on was how to build a network and approach potential hiring managers or senior recruiters about opportunities in their teams. Her coaching helped me come up with an approach that fits my personality, and presented the best version of me to hiring managers, allowing me to leave them with the right and lasting first impression. She also helped me enhance my interviewing skills; I could see the difference that made in the greatly improved interview feedback I received after working with her.

And finally, besides her immense capability, Miriam is an amazing person to work with. She puts colleagues at ease, allowing them to open up about their aspirations and goals in a way that they’re comfortable. Thank you Miriam for all your support in the months that we worked together. It’s been a pleasure and I’ll cherish the learns from our engagement in my career going forwards. All the best!”

“Miriam, I am really grateful for your subtle approach that allowed be to get comfortable and open up. You have been asking many probing questions, some of which took me on long journey getting to understand myself. For your patience as we went slow and often back and forth.

I believe you went over and beyond coaching me as all I was asking was support with career progression. Thinking back over those sessions, what we have achieved is well beyond as I grown in confidence. I’ve learnt how to reflect and how to look at things with curiosity. And how judgemental over myself and demanding I become, and how to find balance where I can be relaxed and happy with my achievements.

In a spin of fast paced life I am living, you thought me “what would that ‘me’ want, what would it look like, how does it feel and how I would like it to feel”. Thank you for your time listening, as often seemed I was having that dialog conversing with myself and getting to know who I really am. Thank you for being part of this beautiful journey!”

“I was fortunate enough to work with Miriam over a 4 week period in the lead up to an interview for a new role. I had a weekly hour long session with Miriam to discuss interview techniques and to practice interview questions.

The support and guidance that Miriam shared was fantastic. Miriam helped me to shape my answers to ensure that I delivered them in a succinct way, she also helped me to focus on the particular skills that I needed to demonstrate for the role I was interviewing for and helped me to ensure that these skills remained in the forefront of my mind throughout the interview.

Miriam shared helpful tips for the interview, such as asking to bring in some blank paper to note down key words from each question to help keep me on track when providing an answer – something I hadn’t considered doing before but which helped me hugely during the interview. I am extremely grateful to Miriam for all of the support she gave me and the huge part she played in helping me to secure the role I applied for.

I would recommend Miriam to anyone who is looking for career coaching as her approach is outstanding and she can help you achieve the results you are aiming for. Thank you Miriam!”

“The coaching chats with you are always very helpful. I come away from each one with points to work on and its useful to have your perspective and how you look at things.

The main value is to enhance my career progression which I feel it is doing. From the CV sessions at the start to now prepping for interviews, at each stage your input has been invaluable – it makes me question my opinions and look at my examples in ways I hadn’t thought about initially. That has been the most important – having you challenge me and consider a different perspective to my own.

The CV sessions gave me the confidence to go for roles I would have been hesitant before. The interview prep now has made me more confident in the upcoming interviews because I feel happy with my examples, prepared to adapt if needed and overall like I could add value. I am genuinely very grateful to have you as my coach.”
