FROM BORDERLINE BURNOUT TO OWNING HER VALUE AND REWRITING HER FUTURE — Zoe, Ex Corporate Junkie & aspiring self starter.
Background:
Zoe had just been made redundant from her Vice President position within a tech company. With many years under her belt within the Media, Sales, Fashion industries, She was a self confessed life long high achiever who gave too much, saw failure as a weakness and lived her life with a ‘do/ achieve’ attitude with a fixed mindset of what success looked like. She was always ‘on’; her life was out of balance and she had lost her spark.
When she came to me she also said she was close to burnout and feeling anxious about the future and where to start. Her decisions were led by fear and expectations from others.
Coaching Solution:
Zoe chose to take the option of a bespoke 6 week, weekly 1:2:1 coaching block. She wanted to see fast results to change her mindset and create a plan for what her future looked like.
Goals:
Within her first session, Zoe completed her Life Compass tool with me and identified 3 core areas that she wished to focus on during the 6 week intensive coaching block – focusing on the topics of:
Purpose & Career alignment
Love life
Security
Outcomes:
During the 6 weeks Zoe committed to the process and remained open and curious as to what the outcomes would be. She trusted in the process and saw great shifts occurring within the first couple of weeks for that reason. She put in the work in between sessions (coaching isn’t a ‘done to you process’ it’s a ‘done with you’ one).
The main outcomes for Zoe so far have been:
Creating a newer version of herself with healthier beliefs
More confidence in her new path and having excitement about the future
Understanding her strengths and her true value so that she can create a career doing what she loves
Understanding her wants / desires/ needs and what she values in all parts of life (including love and career)
Believing that a new way of working is possible where you live your life on your terms exploring a career that means something to you and lights you up.
Knowing when to challenge her fears and make decisions for the right reasons that will help her create the life she wants, rather than the life others think she should have.

Working with Kate was possibly the best use of my time and money in recent years. Many of us never stop to question whether what we are doing in life really makes us happy, or what our true purpose is until something jolts us out of our comfort zone. That happened to me when I was made redundant and just as the usual fears started to creep in, Kate found me and helped me over 6 weeks to re-frame my outlook and challenge my fears.
Kate is like an angel of positivity sitting on your shoulder, guiding you down a path you always knew was there but were too afraid to follow. I have learned a huge amount about my self limiting beliefs and gained more confidence in my abilities thanks to Kate's calm and friendly approach, her patience and expertise. I am excited about what the future holds in my brand new life, and look forward to her continuing to guide me.
