That’s a wrap!

Last client session finished for the year!

Firstly, I want to thank and acknowledge all my clients for their commitment to the coaching programme and bravery to take the steps needed to improve their career wellbeing (and overall wellbeing as a result!).

Many clients I see are either experiencing or recovering from burn out, and the results of a recent survey of 900 workers by a NZ recruitment company showed …
