Licensed Firework coaches

I help mid-career professionals navigate their next career steps, empowering them to do work they truly enjoy.

The journey to finding meaningful work is both complex and deeply personal. Career choices are often influenced by various aspects of life, especially in the mid-career stage. While our career direction may evolve over time, it’s essential to make informed decisions when considering the next step.

I support professionals who are unsure where to begin their career transition, particularly those facing challenges such as:

A lack of challenge or growth

A desire for deeper meaning or purpose

Feeling stuck in their current role

A need for more flexibility and autonomy

Uncertainty around the next career direction

My coaching style is offering a space where the client can have a deeper self-reflection and learning.

I offer bespoke executive coaching both face-to-face and remotely in central London, and internationally for Board Directors, Partners of Professional Service Firms, Senior Leaders and their Teams. Typically, I work with individuals at a point of personal or professional transition: newly promoted leaders; executives returning to work after extended absence or at a point of inflection where there are signs of a pattern of declining leadership/managerial performance.

I normally start with an assessment tool which enables me to tailor my approach to you and your situation. I draw on my learning and development background and business and coaching experience to meet you at your level, challenge you to move beyond your comfort zone in order to help you succeed.

Liz is a full-time life coach serving the teaching profession, where she loves working with clients asking the big questions such as ‘What should I do with my life?’ The majority of her current work focuses on supporting teachers who are seeking career-change. With forty years of teaching experience across all age sectors (including leadership and teacher training) and having trained with some of the world’s leading coaching organisations, Liz is well-placed to serve her audience. And in addition, she has had her own experience of leaving teaching (twice!).

Liz embraces her spirit of adventure with a playful yet common-sense approach. This serves her clients well as they are often feeling anxious, guilty and lost when it comes to leaving a profession they thought they would spend their working lifetime in. Just as the Firework programme suggests, Liz takes her clients on a journey from them being a passive bystander in their life to becoming an intrepid explorer who seizes the day.

Contact me when you don't want to spend any more time looking at job ads and feeling disheartened. The jobs you're qualified for, you're not really interested in and the ones you ARE interested in, you're not really qualified for.

You've been thinking about a career change for a while (maybe years!) but you've no idea what else you can - or want to do. You might not even be 100% sure you want to make a change.

I was a psychology teacher and academic for 13 years before I made a change so I understand what it's like.

I'd no problem gathering information but I struggled to bring it all together into a realistic career option and a concrete plan.

That's why I trained as a Firework coach on top of my initial coach training: I wanted to provide a step-by-step, doable approach to career change at midlife. Firework's well-established framework, tools and techniques mean I can provide my clients with next-level support.
