Licensed Firework coaches

Maria Smart

London, Surrey, Sussex

I work with people who find themselves at transition points in their careers. This includes exploring career direction and supporting managers and leaders to develop their management, leadership and business skills so they can progress in their chosen career.  While the backgrounds and career paths may vary the golden thread is they all want to be fulfilled in their work and are committed to making a change.
I work with:
• People seeking to explore a change in career direction
• First time managers
• People who have stepped from management into a leadership position
• People wanting to develop key skills
I am passionate about helping others realise their potential, develop and succeed in their chosen career, afterall we spend too much time at work not to be happy.

Anna Weissenberg

Budapest, Hungary

I coach people who are mid career and looking for a change. I specialise in coaching people who work in an international environment or have moved internationally in their career.

I am an empathetic and friendly coach who supports, motivates, and helps my clients gain confidence. I coach in English, Swedish and Finnish.

Donnie MacDonald

Whitstable, Kent

I work with individuals who are neurodivergent and are seeking a more fulfilling work and life.

Navigating the challenges of being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world can be daunting. However, by gaining self-awareness and understanding, we can mediate these challenges and allow our strengths to shine.

I create a safe place for you to explore your unique needs in life and work. My coaching style is empathic coupled with insightful questioning. I bring a calming energy to our work. As a neurodivergent coach I spot patterns and incongruences that you may not be aware of yet. I help you explore those areas that may have been derailing your previous efforts to make changes.

Melissa Whiting

Australia

I support people to feel good about themselves and to create lives that they actually like.

I help them learn to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin, to expand their self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-belief and self-trust in order to live more bravely and create more joy and satisfaction in their lives, both at work and at home.

I work with individuals who are experiencing self-doubts, over-thinking, over-working, second guessing, worrying about what everyone else thinks, feeling held back, frustrated, stuck and generally dissatisfied in their careers and lives.

My clients have mostly been early and mid-career professionals but have also included students, musicians, sole business owners and returners after a career break.

Andrea Anderson

Brighton, Sussex & Central London

I specialise in working with people from creative, digital, fast paced, or entrepreneurial business backgrounds. People who may be:

• Successful but frustrated and unhappy in their current career
• Full of ideas but unsure how to make them happen
• Women who have become mothers, who want an autonomous and fulfilling career that allows them to live the life they want to live now.

My style as a coach is warm, intuitive, and, at times, direct. I encourage experimentation and action. This helps the people I work with realise their potential and affirm their confidence.

Liz Bell

Devon, UK

I coach professional women to choose a career they enjoy so they continue to progress, stay challenged and are energised at the end of the day.

I recognise the challenges that come from having a great set of skills and too many possibilities for how they might transfer to other careers. It can seem like there is no choice at all.  It can feel like the more you look, the harder it is to find something new to excite you.

My mission is to support you to clearly visualise your chosen new career, and create an action plan that will take you where you want to be as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Ilse Noppen

Lisbon area, Portugal

As a Leadership and Career coach and facilitator, I have built up an experience in working with:
- Executives and professionals to strengthen their personal brand and assist them in challenges they encounter.
- Individuals to define the career path they want to develop and co-create a plan of action.

I am passionate about talents and strengths and help people (re)discover their talents and integrate them towards achieving a more fulfilling personal and professional life.

I also give workshops, webinars and organise retreats on different topics.

Joel Dietz

USA and beyond!

I support amazing people looking to discover a new career, or to thrive in the work they already do. We accomplish this together with humor and exploration, through a zoom lens focused on your long term-fulfillment. I have a particular passion for working with late career professionals wanting to bring their work identity into retirement through a career transition. Based in Houston, Texas and working with clients throughout the US, I welcome all clients pondering, “What’s next for me?” including those who identify as LGBTQ+.
