In Helena's own words

You may have come across people talking about 'finding your why or your purpose' and wondered what that means to you. To me it is the driving force which underpins what I want to achieve through my career. For me, I know that I just want to see people enjoying going to work every day. I want to see people interested in what they do, getting a sense of achievement from their work and motivated to be successful (in whatever way success means to them). But most importantly, I want all of that to have a positive impact on their overall wellbeing and work life balance. What really helps is that I am fascinated with people and love hearing about what they do in work and life and the challenges they face. Through my coaching and guidance I am able to support people to make effective decisions about their careers and help them find a way to reach their full potential. I have been working in careers and leadership development for over 20 years as an adviser, a consultant and now a coach. I provide coaching support in a positive and empathic way, helping others change their mindset and take on challenges to progress. I am experienced in delivering virtual and classroom career coaching and leadership workshops around values & motivations, employability, positive thinking and personal branding. I enjoy working independantly and with a team of colleagues, and thrive off having a collaborative working approach. I truly believe in the benefit of continuous professional development and love
