About me
Hello, I'm Laura
I love seeing people win, and that is why this course exists.
Before becoming a Career Coach, I was Head of HR Shared Services and had spent 16 years working in FTSE 100 companies. I was a high-performing individual who experienced rapid growth in every role I did which gave me heaps of fulfillment but also eventually led me to burnout.
I had wrapped my self-worth around my career as I climbed the ladder and it wasn't until I experienced a loss in my immediate family that I realised life was too short to allow my health to be compromised by a job.
My newfound appreciation for life started me on a Journey of self-discovery. For the first time, I evaluated my life goals and then assessed how my career could help me achieve them.
This is where I first realised the power of career design.
I am now happily working for myself, running my own businesses. This allows me to work less, travel more, and focus on what matters most to me: my relationships, health, and exploring the world.
I know that most professionals focus on achieving career & business goals without considering that the career should be there to enhance and enrich life goals. This is why so many professionals find themselves in a mid-career slump feeling burnt out and questioning their purpose. I get it, I have been there which is why I am here to help you rediscover what's important to you and your life and how your career can help you achieve more of it.
The Career Change Strategy that Works course was my signature 8-week coaching programme that professionals paid me thousands to go through to discover new career paths. Because I couldn't help as many people as I wanted to 1-1, I decided to turn the programme into a self study course.
Here is how others have found the course:
*****
"I highly recommend the career change strategy course :). It is a well-structured program consisting of 4 modules with concise videos. The course encouraged me to reflect deeply and honestly on my values, my work purpose, and the specific tasks (rather than job titles) that energize me or drain me, among other tools. I particularly appreciated having all the tools and resources conveniently in one place. While I’ve done coaching activities before, this program stood out for its focus and actionable approach. Laura’s course gets straight to the point, offering practical steps to take. You can progress at your own pace, which worked perfectly for me. Despite other commitments, the flexible structure allowed my mind to process the thought-provoking questions as I worked through them. Thank you again Laura!" - Alexandra Gaubert

"I have just completed Laura’s self-study career change course. It was incredibly helpful and enlightening for me. This was my first experience of career coaching and I am incredibly grateful for the clarity I have gained. Laura and the course helped me to take some gut feelings I had about my career and form them into a focused direction. The format of the course was perfect for me - the reflective element can be completed with autonomy, which made it more accessible for me with a young family, and the coaching call with Laura at the end then helped turn my reflections to clarity and focus. Laura is approachable, clearly very knowledgeable and an excellent coach. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants a clear vision on the next steps for their career." - Will Spreadbury

I recently completed the career coaching programme by Laura. It exceeded all my expectations and more. Before I started the programme I was overwhelmed and lacked motivation to even try and figure out my next steps. I have come away with clarity and a clear plan as to what steps I want to take next in my career and has completely changed my mindset leaving me excited for what the next steps in my career look like. Laura has a genuine passion for helping people succeed, it was thought provoking and motivational really getting me to dig deep to gain the clarity I needed. I also felt extremely supported by having access to Laura via WhatsApp and our coaching call at the end of the programme. If you are looking to elevate your career or navigate your next move, I highly recommend this course. - Niamh McSweenet

Before completing Laura's Career Change Strategy course, I felt unfulfilled and misaligned with my career. I knew I wanted a change but felt overwhelmed each time I considered it. The course helped me avoid common mistakes, establish non-negotiables for my new career, and control my Negative Internal Dialog (NID). Laura guided me in breaking down my goals into micro goals, making everything more manageable. Now, I feel clear, energised, and fulfilled with my life’s direction. I highly recommend Laura and her Career Change Strategy course. - British Army Veteran
