Turning potential redundancy into promotion to HR Director
When given notice of redundancy of her operational role, coaching helped R reconnect with her core values and recognise the direction in which she wanted to take her career, which involved progressing into an HR Director role.
Engaged in supporting her FTSE250 organisation in embedding a new customer-led organisational structure and culture during her notice period, R continued to develop strong relationships with the MD and other Board members and was ready take over the HR Director role when this unexpectedly became available. R continues to engage in executive coaching with Angela.
Working in the City whilst maintaining worklife balance
R gave up his role in the City when he started a family as he expected to be unable to maintain the work-life balance he wanted when he became a father.
Quickly disillusioned and significantly under-challenged by a role in the charity sector, R effectively utilised his network to enable a move from banking into the insurance sector. Successfully negotiating a four day working week enabled R to return to an intellectually stimulating and financially rewarding City role, whilst achieving the work-life balance he had previously considered impossible.
