Licensed Firework coaches

Gayl Long

Berkshire, United Kingdom

I help leaders and individuals who are in transition, finding direction, building confidence and resilience in times of change to enable clients to achieve and sustain success.

Before specialising as an executive coach, I worked as a senior HR professional for major blue chip global matrix organisations concentrating on recruitment, change management, acquisition and divestment, post merger integration, talent and performance management. I have worked in manufacturing, commercial, sales and professional services environments including well known brands such as Bayer, ICI, Syngenta, Siemens and Unigate. I also have experience of building supplies, engineering and banking sectors.

I am a Professional Certified Coach with the ICF, a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and a Master Practitioner in NLP.

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.

Amy Savage

London

I work with a range of people, many of which are from the creative industries given my background. Most importantly I work with people from all ages and backgrounds who want to live their lives to the fullest and are committed to making a change. These include:

  • People who are looking to find more fulfilment and enjoyment in the life/career.
  • People who want to consider a career change
  • Women returning to work after maternity leave, a career break or a change in career direction

I have been described as warm, enlightening, and inspirational, but I'm also prepared to challenge habitual and obstructive behaviour or thought processes. I have the skills to tackle issues in a positive and productive way. And mostly, I have a passionate belief that work should be a fulfilling and enriching part of our lives.

Lydia Newell

Yorkshire, UK

I support women through mid-life career change as they start reconsidering their priorities and direction.

For the women who feel stuck ...You’ve tried to focus on the positives. Other people would describe you as ‘successful’, but this isn’t your definition of success. You know you have loads to be grateful for, but you just can’t get past the fact that you’re not content with how your life looks right now.

You wake up every morning feeling exhausted, wishing it was the weekend. Your days are full-on busy, your to-do list is never ending, and self-care just doesn’t happen for you.

You feel unhappy, uninspired and unmotivated. Living in a world that tells you that ‘you can be whatever you want to be’, feels so overwhelming when you’re stuck on what it is you want to be! You’re not sure what you want from life, and you have no idea how to find out.

Chloe Brassey

Northamptonshire & London

Typically I coach Graduates entering the workplace and clients who are 1-5 years into a job and may be looking for change. I have a track record of defining clients career paths, bringing focus, achievable goals and tips and tricks of how to navigate the job market.

My coaching style is:
- Very hands on working in collaboration with clients.
- Educational - the sessions are full 'knowledge sharing' this helps to build clients' knowledge and ultimately stand them in excellent stead for the rest of their career.
- The sessions are fun and informal, I level with my clients and it produces the best results.
- I go above and beyond for my clients.
- I strive to inspire my clients.
- My clients would say, I am direct and honest.

Rachel Schofield

London

I help smart women redesign a workable and fulfilling career path after motherhood. My clients have taken time out to raise their family and are ready to re-connect with their professional self. But simply diving back into their old industry isn’t going to cut it. They want space and support to get clear on their skills, strengths and passions, to explore other avenues and think differently.

My mission is to champion and challenge you. Help you shake off the doubts and ditch the procrastination. Reawaken your self-belief and get you in action. I am passionate about helping women not lose themselves amid the highs and lows of motherhood. I want us to be able to reconnect with who we were, finally create space to take stock, and find a realistic way to realise the dreams or ambitions we still have. There's a lot of life still to be lived as your children grow. Don't you owe it to yourself to make a conscious choice about how you spend it?

As a Professional Certified Coach (ICF Accredited) I have over 15yrs of safely navigating individuals and groups through the choppy seas of transition. I support and partner with amongst others:

Anne De Smet

Leuven (Brussels area), Belgium

I have all types of clients from all kinds of professions and this makes it very rich and interesting for me.
In my previous life I have been an entrepreneur with a company specialised in the organisation of international scientific conferences and meetings. This means I have experience with this sector. Having been a business owner for 20 years now, I'm also well placed to coach people who envisage to start their own business or work for themselves.

Clients tell me I have soft power, I'm a warm, honest and open, combined with an edge of seriousness when needed and absolute determination and focus. I'm often complimented for my energy and commitment. See the section 'praise' on my website for testimonials http://momentum-coaching.eu/en/praise/

I have a blog/newsletter which appears every 2 weeks on Thursday. It can be found on my website under 'Inspiration'

Kate Cusack

Brighton, East Sussex, UK

I am a Life and Career Coach, based in Brighton, UK. I work 1:1 with clients locally, or with clients from all over the world using telephone or Skype.

I work with anyone who feels they would like more meaning and fulfilment from their career, but isn’t exactly sure what that career is, or how to get there. I get huge satisfaction from helping clients go from confusion to clarity on which direction to take in their career, to achieve true happiness and satisfaction from their work.

I love working with the Firework Programme because it uses unique and varied exercises to uncover who you are and what really makes you tick, so you can address the question of what career is really right for you, based on an in-depth awareness of what you need to be truly happy, both in your life and your career.

Clare Boland

Haute Garonne, France

Languages: English, French

I coach women in their 30's and 40's who are either going back into the workplace after maternity leave or women who are concerned they're not on the right track

I'm optimistic, creative and practical and help women to get off the hamster wheel of "I must do this" to allow them to take time to really consider what they want and not what others want from them. In short, I get women to think about themselves and really find out what they want from life and their career.
