Working With Your Strengths: How to Use What Energises You in Work and Life

  Introduction. We talk a lot about improving weaknesses, but not nearly enough about building on strengths. When I say strengths, I do not mean skills you learned once and can repeat under pressure. I mean the qualities that give you energy and momentum. These are the parts of you that feel natural when you use them well, and they often hold the key to your best performance and your best self. I still remember sitting with my Strengthscope® results, coffee in hand, smiling as each word seemed to describe the way I naturally work. I have always been drawn to helping people understand themselves better. Becoming an accredited Strengthscope® Practitioner gave me language for what I had felt all along. Real confidence and progress begin when you understand what energises you. Strengths are not about ego. They are about energy. Once you know what fuels you, you can move through work and life with intention, rather than strain. That might sound like a small distinction, but it changes e...

How to Build a Success Mindset: Tuning Your Signal for Growth and Abundance

The Hidden Reason Success Feels Out of Reach. Audio to blog.    I once worked with a client who came to me completely worn down. Let’s call her Sarah. She was talented, committed, and had done everything she thought would bring success. She stayed late at work, volunteered for extra projects, and kept learning new skills. On paper, she looked like the perfect candidate for the promotion she wanted. But something was missing. She kept getting overlooked. Meetings would end, and her ideas would be forgotten. Opportunities always seemed to pass her by. She told me quietly one afternoon, “I feel invisible.” That moment stuck with me because I’ve heard it so often. Hard work wasn’t Sarah’s problem. Her mindset was. She was broadcasting the wrong signal. Her skills were strong, but her energy, beliefs, and actions weren’t aligned. And until she tuned her inner frequency, her outer world couldn’t change. Maybe you can relate. You’ve worked hard, but still feel stuck. You know you’re ...

Working Effectively Through a Long Job Search: A Strategic, Sustainable Roadmap for Job Seekers.

  Introduction: Why a Long Job Search Needs a Different Approach. Audio to Blog. If you are in the middle of a long job search, I don’t need to tell you how hard it feels. The days slip by in a blur of applications, the inbox stays quiet, and rejections can feel personal. Clients often tell me, “I feel stuck, like I’m wasting my time.” But here’s the reality. A long job search is not unusual. In the UK, the average job seeker spends around 122 days (about four months) finding a new role. For many professionals, it takes longer depending on the industry and level of seniority. Knowing this helps you see that the time you are spending is part of the process, not proof of failure. This blog is about helping you use that time effectively. I want to give you strategies that make a difference to your search, whether you have been at it for weeks or months. Think of it as a roadmap to protect your energy, sharpen your approach, and help you move forward with purpose.   Schedule Dedic...

Recruiters Are Watching: Is Your LinkedIn Profile Helping or Hurting You?

  Introduction. Listen Here You’ve sent out dozens, maybe even hundreds of applications. And yet… silence. No calls. No interviews. No feedback. It’s frustrating, exhausting, and you’re left wondering: What am I doing wrong? You know, it might not be your CV. In fact, research shows that 77% of recruiters  use LinkedIn to screen candidates before  they even consider an application. ( Recruiter Insight:  According to Jobvite’s Recruiter Nation Report) If your profile isn’t making the right impression, you could be getting passed over without even knowing it. Recruiters want more than a list of skills on a document: they want to see the person behind the CV. And that’s where your online presence comes in. So how do you make sure they’re seeing the real, capable professional you are? How do you turn your LinkedIn profile into a tool that opens doors instead of closing them? Let’s talk about what recruiters are really looking for and how you can finally start getting not...
