When were you last faced with a work conundrum? And who did you turn to for help? I offer more than a quick nod in the right direction from an experienced freelancer.
Looking back at my career I can honestly say it was support, insight and knowledge that changed my life. In those days i was lucky to meet exceptionally generous people en route to my jobs as a BBC broadcaster, magazine editor and travel writer.
Keen to give back what I got, I took some time out to train as an an accredited coach and mentor so that I can help progress careers using tried and tested tools and techniques, alongside 30 plus years of freelancing; from being travel editor on a national newspaper, to reporting for BBC Radio 4 and presenting TV programmes.
What you’ll get: a straight-talking challenging coach who will facilitate your progression, whether it’s a new job, more work as a freelance, building relationships at work or increased self confidence and motivation.
What you’ll achieve: clear thinking, self belief, writing skills, confidence to perform at interview
Currently, I’m a Visiting Lecturer in journalism at two London universities and the City Lit I also run regular workshops and courses and mentor individuals in person, worldwide and over Skype.
