Kerry Savage specialises in career coaching. There are three main areas:
1. Work/life balance 2. Career change 3. In-job fulfilment
1. Work/life balance
Whilst work plays an important part our lives, sometimes it can be to the detriment of the rest of our lives. Love life, family, friends and leisure time all suffer. Coaching redresses this balance.
Common challenges
 | I want interests outside of work, but I'm too busy and can't commit regularly. |
 | I want a successful relationship, but I don't have time. |
 | My partner's fed up with my constant moaning about work and long hours. |
 | I'd like to have children, but I don't want to jump off the career ladder. |
 | My friends have stopped calling, because they know I'm always working late. |
 | All I seem to do is work, drink and sleep. |
 | I want to look for a new job, but I haven't got time. |
2. Career change
Some people find themselves in a job, which was very attractive several years ago, but no longer has the same appeal. Others drifted into a career because it was the easy option or they were waiting for something better to come along and it never arrived. In today's tough climate, redundancy is more and more common. This is actually a big opportunity!
Common challenges
 | I hate my job, but I don't know what else I could do. |
 | I want to do something completely different, but I've got bills to pay. |
 | I've lost my job and feel completely demoralised. |
 | I've been looking for a new job for ages, but nothing suitable seems to come up. |
 | This has always been my dream job, but now I'm not so sure. |
 | Surely it's not impossible to have the money and the job satisfaction. |
3. In-job fulfilment
Some people feel that their current job has huge potential, but there are certain barriers to their daily enjoyment of it, whether it be a personality conflict or a desire for promotion that never comes.
Common challenges
 | I feel as though I'm stagnating; I need a new challenge. |
 | I'm stressed out all the time; I need more resources. |
 | I want to be taken more seriously. |
 | I don't get on with my boss. |
 | I want a promotion and a pay rise, but no-one's listening. |
 | I'm bored and under-performing. |
Career coaching can address any of these challenges, with remarkable results. We spend a third of our lives at work, so we deserve to enjoy it!
