Stuck in the wrong career? Let’s figure out what actually fits you.
Maybe you feel:
bored or drained by work
unsure what you actually want to do instead
worried about making the wrong move
Or perhaps you feel a pull towards work that matters more — but you’re not sure how to make the shift.
Career change coaching helps you move from confusion and overthinking to clarity, confidence and a practical plan for your next chapter.
I’ve been working as a career coach since 2016, helping hundreds of people explore new directions and navigate career change with more clarity and confidence.
Over that time I’ve worked with professionals from many industries who felt stuck, unsure of their direction, or ready to make a meaningful shift.
Whatever's triggered your career change, I'll help you find purposeful, absorbing work.
How career change coaching works
Most people try to solve career change by thinking harder.
But clarity rarely comes from thinking alone.
Instead, we combine reflection with real-world exploration — conversations, experiments and small career tests that reveal what actually fits you.
The program
8 x one hour coaching sessions.
We start with weekly sessions and move to fortnightly check in sessions once you are exploring career ideas out there in the world.
Expect to spend between 2-3 hours a week between sessions completing exercises and working on your missions.
I’m based on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia but I coach people from all over the world on Zoom.
The cost is three monthly payments of $700 AUD (incl. GST). This includes all coaching sessions, exercises and career exploration missions, and email support between sessions.
Fresh thinking exercises, real-world missions
The reflective exercises will help you:
Get clear on what's motivating and purposeful for you at work and in life
Identify key strengths and skills and how you like to apply them
The real-world missions give you:
Opportunities to meet new people and step into new environments
Access to new experiences leading to new insights about what's possible for you
Insight into the day to day reality of intriguing careers that you've uncovered during your coaching sessions.
If you'd like to explore whether this is right for you, the first step is a free 20 minute Career Clarity Call.
Not ready for the full program?
Start with a Career Clarity Deep Dive (90 minutes)
If you're feeling stuck but unsure whether you're ready for a full coaching program, a one-off deep dive session can help you get clear on what's really going on and where to focus next.
In this focused session we will:
unpack what's not working in your current career
explore why you are getting stuck
build a picture of what you do want in your next career
identify 2 areas of interest and potential career ideas to explore
map out practical next steps to start testing ideas
You'll leave with new insight into yourself and a clearer sense of direction.
If you decide you'd like more support afterwards, we can then explore whether the full coaching program would be a good fit.

“Jo helped me so much in working through the next steps in my career. She listened, challenged, and took me through lots of exercises and scenarios, which I find myself going back to time and time again as a reference for the type of career and life I want to have and for when I need to make decisions about new roles and jobs to potentially take on. Her approach is very holistic and caring, and she has a skill for building up your confidence and ultimately being your cheerleader!”

This coaching tends to work best for people who:
• are thoughtful and reflective
• want work that aligns with their values
• are willing to explore possibilities rather than rush to answers
It’s probably not right if:
• you want someone to tell you what job to do
• you’re looking only for CV or interview coaching
