Who I help
Women who are feeling stuck, unfulfilled or ready for a change in their career.
The problem I solve
I help women figure out what they actually want next — and how to make it happen.
My point of difference
I don’t start with the job search. I help women get clear on who they are and what they want first — then we work out where that could take them.
My niche market
Women in midlife who feel stuck, unfulfilled or ready for a career change, but don’t know what they want to do next.
Key benefits
Clarity about what you want next; greater confidence in what you have to offer; career ideas that genuinely fit you; a practical way to research and test your options; and a clear path forward.
Problems my clients avoid
Staying stuck because they don’t know what else they could do; jumping into another role that isn’t right; endlessly scrolling job boards hoping something will jump out; second-guessing themselves; or making a big career decision without properly exploring their options first.
About
I’m a Life & Career Coach who helps women navigate career change and work out what they want next. I work with women who feel stuck, unfulfilled or know something needs to change, but aren’t sure what that change looks like yet. My approach helps them get clear on who they are, what matters to them and where they’ll thrive, then research and test their ideas before making their next move. I’ve worked in the career development space for more than 20 years and bring together career strategy, coaching and a deep understanding of what helps people create meaningful change.
Products and services
I offer: • 1:1 Life & Career Coaching – personalised coaching for women wanting deeper support to navigate career change and create their next chapter. • Become Your Own Pathfinder – my signature group career change programme for women who want a structured process and supportive community to help them figure out what’s next. • Career Change Courses & Resources – practical self-paced programmes covering career clarity, researching career ideas, job searching, networking and salary negotiation. • Speaking & Workshops – for organisations and communities on career development, knowing your value, navigating change, midlife careers and the changing world of work.
Why I am a member
I joined New Zealand Businesswomen because I wanted to be part of a supportive, down-to-earth community of women who get what it’s like to run a business. I love connecting with other women, sharing ideas, learning from each other, and being part of a space where we can grow our businesses without having to do it all on our own. The focus on community, collaboration, and backing women to succeed really resonates with me. I’m looking forward to meeting new people, building genuine connections, and growing alongside other women in business.
An offer for you
I’m always happy to connect with and support other women in business who are navigating change, growth, or transition—whether that’s in their work, business, or sense of direction. I offer a sounding board for career and life decisions, clarity around next steps, and practical guidance grounded in my Soul Search – Research – Job Search framework. I’m also keen to collaborate, share insights, and contribute to conversations around meaningful work, confidence, and building sustainable careers and businesses. Where helpful, I’m open to offering informal guidance, speaking, workshops, or tailored support for members and groups within New Zealand Businesswomen, and I value reciprocal relationships where we learn and grow together. At heart, my offer is connection, clarity, and community—supporting women to move forward with confidence and intention.
