"How do I find a job that I like or maybe even love?
How do I build a career that will make me a good living? How do I balance my career with my family?
​How can I make a difference in the world?"

"Pippa, I got the job! I wanted to say a huge thanks to you for your help in our chats. I really don’t think I would have been ready to confidently commit to my new direction without your understanding and guidance. I feel like it will be a massive part of the next chapter in my journey, and a real boost to my well-being."
​Billy Exton, Program Facilitator with the I CAN Network.

In the wake of Covid 19, I have found that many of my clients are looking for support in undergoing significant internal and external transitions.  As their contexts and experiences shift and evolve, so do mine.
Rachel’s story is illustrative of this, as it has led us both to become far more intimately acquainted with a new range of roles based on her career transition:
"I began working with Pippa during the start of Covid when the whole world was in a moment of uncertainty.  I was in complete survival mode and every day was a battle. I had known for years I needed to transition from academia, but honestly did not know how. Pippa not only supported me to execute my career transition successfully over a twelve-month period, but also helped me identify how I can help others in future.  Her mentoring is like no other I have experienced.  She shows compassion and empathy, alongside complete strength, and a belief in my journey. "

"Life transitions either planned or forced provide unique challenges for individuals and their families in both the long and short term. I found working with Pippa during such a transition (a serious illness necessitating early retirement) to be not only a tremendous support but also a structured way to refocus and plan the next steps. It was tremendously reassuring to make conscious decisions about new and evolving priorities whilst learning to accept the things I could not change.
The unique blend of academic skills and spiritually based compassion Pippa brings provides an opportunity for individuals experiencing change in their lives to challenge themselves to see change as a positive rather than negative catalyst. Accepting that life naturally leads to change has been surprisingly empowering and acquiring the skills to manage change deeply reassuring."

"Pippa and I had epic and soul-enriching discussions, digging deep into what it means to flourish as a human in this complicated, messy, and beautiful world. Themes included: the future (what do I want?) and the nature and practice of leadership (how do I/can I lead?). Pippa was sensitive and responsive to my immediate situation, personal framework, and preferences while encouraging openness to new thinking and practices. She suggested options and shone a light on possible directions for the future - quickly and accurately gauging my capacity for change - to support what was right for me in the now.  Thank you, Pippa."
