"No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else." - P. T. Barnum, The Greatest ShowmanI'm an Accredited Career Development Practitioner with over 12 years of private practice experience in: Executive and Career Coaching, Outplacement Coaching, Resume and LinkedIn Training/Writing, Job Search Training, and Interview Training A unique journey to an ideal career is evidence of "practising what I preach" (to clients), having successfully transitioned my career multiple times from Experienced Senior Associate/Auditor (Chartered Accountant, PwC) to Senior IT Consultant (Info Tech) and now, Director of Strategic Career Coaching.What do these diverse roles and industry sectors have in common? My key strengths: Change Catalyst (thrive on facilitating change | creating variety) Communicator Collaborator (including diversity)At 9 years old, I wanted to become a Chartered Accountant (CA) like my Dad. I achieved this, 16 years later at PricewaterhouseCoopers (NZ) as a Senior Associate/Auditor. In London, I worked as an Internal Auditor for Peabody Trust. I realised then, I no longer wanted to diagnose business issues and suggest change, I wanted to be responsible for implementing change.I career/life transitioned, by moving to Australia and becoming an IT Consultant for Info Tech Pty. Ltd. I began as Help Desk Support and left as a Senior Developer/Consultant, passionate about creating change solutions. The biggest change of all, starting a family, meant a change in personal values and the desire to make a real difference in the lives of others. I realised my strengths were much better put to use by helping others facilitate change in their professional lives. In 2010, I started my own business "SMART Career and Life Coaching" which was re-branded in 2020 as "Strategic Career Coaching".Strategic Career Coaching is helping the following groups: Year 9 - 12 Students TAFE and University Students Trades Persons and Office Professionals Mid-Career Changers Small Business S
