Hi, I’m Margaret and I’m The Pivot Coach!
What do you need to know about me?
I’m an accredited Coach with the International Federation of Coaching (ICF) and I am passionate about the positive change coaching can bring about for everybody not just top executives.
Personally and professionally, I have experienced a few pivots in my life so far and so I have first-hand experience of being in a job that wasn’t floating my boat.
I have used education to make progress, I have opted for redundancy twice, I have moved country and I have returned to the workforce following a career break. So, I get how exciting some of these pivots can be, but I also get how terrifying and paralysing they can be too. Your brain is telling you all the factual, logical things but there is still “stuff” holding you back. Doubt, lack of confidence, and that little (or perhaps not so little) voice saying it’s too hard, don’t rock the boat, better the devil you know etc. etc. I’ve been there, done that and bought the souvenir T shirt a few times and that is why I am passionate about doing the work I do. Change can be lonely and hard. I like to provide support to people who are going through big or small career changes, so that they can make the right decision for them, at a particular moment in time and do it with confidence.
We only get one life, and we need to make the most of it, it is difficult for me to see someone/anyone not squeeze the opportunities or potential out of themselves and life. I believe everyone is unique and that we possess huge strengths and abilities but at times lack the confidence or energy to grab opportunity with both hands. Coaching is such a powerful process for working with individuals and it allows me to live my values of learning & growth, honesty, support & empathy.
I love seeing the transformation in my clients from ‘I don’t know where or how to get started to ……..’I can’t wait to get started’ This is the winning moment for me!
