Let me guide you to a
Career you Love
I'm Anna Black,
Career Counsellor with a dash of Coach
I had a successful corporate career. Starting out as a geophysicist, and progressing to management.
As the years went on, how I spent my time became more important. And I realised my job wasn't aligned with my strengths, interests or what energised me.
Work. Felt. Pointless.
I wanted more. To use my skills in a meaningful way. To reach my potential.
For seven years I was unhappy because I couldn’t work out what to do.
I’d spend hours at a time trawling Seek and taking *all* the online tests, with nothing to show for it.
The epiphany I was searching for never came.
When I finally found the Career Counsellor I needed, she felt like a gift.
I was still nervous. I needed to get this right. I wouldn't have the courage to leave the comfort of my big corporate salary unless I was 100% sure.
She showed me how to explore every aspect of what I enjoy and all the possible work options. We left no stone unturned.
Within weeks of trusting her guidance I had the clarity I’d been craving.
Helping people get out of soul-destroying jobs, and into careers which light them up, is the most fulfilling work I can imagine doing.
It fascinates me.
Motivates me.
Ticks all the boxes.
Once you have clarity and direction, everything else is simple.
If you want to take control and stop drifting with the tide of what other people think you should do.
If you want to stop wasting hours every day searching for non-existent answers online.
If you want to find the career that makes you jump out of bed in the morning,
You’re the kind of person I help.
Are you ready to make the change? Then let's have a chat so I can take you through what it would look like to work together to find the clarity you are looking for. Click the button and book a time to talk.
