L Mortenson Career Coaching Testimonial

Before working with Paul, I felt stuck in a career that no longer held meaning or satisfaction for me. 

I worked with Paul for just 3 months, and one month later I’ve been offered a role in my new career, working 100% from home. This could not have worked out any better!

Simon, Kent

I’d been through a particularly challenging few years, both personally & professionally, and knew that I needed to reassess the direction my life was taking, particularly given the change in the nature of my job since the pandemic.

 

 I’d never had really clear idea of what made me enjoy (or dislike!) my work, and had no clear idea of the way forward – all I knew was that I needed a change. Paul helped me understand what really made me tick, then helped me consider the types of roles that would provide me with the fulfilment I was looking for.

 

Having now been equipped with a far greater understanding of my needs, I’ve been able to confidently move forward with a career change that will provide me with a more fulfilling job role & a much improved work / life balance.

 

I’m really positive about the future, and can now understand how the right job can not only provide a more enjoyable career, but also allow the time & opportunity to pursue other interests too.

Steph Francis, Bristol

I had taken the decision to leave teaching to protect my physical and mental health, but didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do next. I knew I wanted a challenge but was wary of jumping into a new career, and I had very little idea of what jobs might be available or how to go about getting them.

 

I really am truly thankful that I took the plunge to work with Paul. He led me to understand what matters most to me and he asked the right questions to really force me to think deeply and confront some unhelpful thinking I didn’t even realise I was doing which was limiting me. And before working with Paul, I didn’t even know my new career existed..!

 

I’ve now got a new job in a meaningful area that I feel passionately about and which genuinely aligns with who I am as a person and what I want to do with my life. I am really excited about my career going forwards!

Hayley, Leeds

I had been in my job for 20 years and after a particularly challenging period really wanted to make a change. But I felt pigeonholed, I had no idea what I wanted to do, how my skills would transfer or how I would even get the process started.

 

Paul has been fantastic to work with, encouraging and supportive, helping to guide me without biasing my decisions. I’ve learnt that my skill set is actually vast, and I now understand how to reframe my skills so they apply to other roles.

 

I’m excited about what my future may look like and am confident that I’ve chosen a meaningful path that is right for me.

Rob Griffiths

With Paul, I went on a journey of self discovery and found the confidence and ability to pursue new meaningful futures. Paul’s coaching is challenging, rewarding, enlightening and refreshing, helping you tackle big decisions in a rational and bitesized way. I feel excited and confident about my new future path.

Sarah, Exeter

Having spent many years trying to find a way out of my current career, I felt I really needed an expert to help me navigate a career change. I now have a much clearer understanding of what I am looking for; what skills I have that could transfer to a different role; what might be holding me back and how I can move forward.

Peter Doyle

I had spent over 22 years in my job and was both moribund and institutionalised. I knew I needed to do something to break free. Over the course of my sessions with Paul I have experienced an epiphany. Our work reignited the fire of confidence and hunger within me and has led me to a new path which I sincerely believe will be productive, satisfying and abundant. I am looking forward to the future!

Ruth

I needed professional and unbiased support with career change. Working with Paul gave me a holistic overview of what makes me the person I am to inform my next steps. I have made some very important decisions and now have confidence to take action as a result. I have an action plan and a set of tools to go to if I need to make more changes or decisions.

Anthony

I was unhappy in my job and wanted to assess my options. Paul helped me think deeply about which options matched the kind of existence I would like.

 

We took a holistic approach, considering my career, financial and personal life aspirations. Our sessions helped me set a clear course for the next phase of my career.

 

As a result, I have inner peace. I have a clear plan and know in my bones that this is the right course for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul to friends and colleagues – in fact, I have already done so! 

Andrew C.

I was having sleepless nights, feeling unhappy and spread thin. I wanted a career change with good work-life balance, but didn’t know what I wanted to do or what was out there, or how to think about the financial transition. Coaching was hard work at times (!) but it’s helped me enormously – after working with Paul, I have been offered a perfect stepping stone job in the industry I now know I want to work in. I’m very happy and excited about moving forward.

Steve P

I was stuck knowing what direction to go in and lacked the confidence to make any changes. Paul helped showed me who I am, what I enjoy and what I want from a career, and really challenged the way that I think. I’m excited about moving forwards now to a place where I am a lot happier.

I wanted a career change but I was unsure what I wanted and what direction to go in. 

Now I know where I want to go, I know how to get there, and I have belief in myself.

I was having difficulty working out what to do with my career, and for years I have let things get in the way.

Working with Paul, I have managed to work out what I was doing and why, and make clear decisions that I wasn’t able to before. Without Paul I would not have reached the point I have now.

About Me

My own story begins like many – degrees, jobs in large organisations, working all hours.

But I never knew what I wanted from a career, and was always unhappy at work. When my children were born, drifting along unhappily just wasn’t good enough any more.

Over the next few years, I learnt what really makes a successful career change and where most career change processes are getting it wrong. Now I use this knowledge, together with my expert training as a coach, to help others.

I’m a certified Animas transformational coach. My training is accredited by the globally recognised International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Association for Coaching. I am a Global Member of the ICF and an Associate member coach with the European Coaching and Mentoring Council.

Interested in working with me?  Fantastic!  The first thing to do is book a quick, no-obligation chat.

During our 30-minute call, we’ll pinpoint your ideal solution along with the main challenges that are keeping you stuck.

Then, if I can help, I’ll say so – and we’ll lay out our roadmap to clear the roadblocks and create a plan for your fulfilling future career.

This needs to be right for both of us, so there’s never any pressure from me.  If we’re a good match, great!  But if not, I’ll try to make some suggestions to help you move forwards and wish you all the very best for the future.

Career Change Workspace

Your own Career Change Workspace for desktop and mobile to keep all your hard work and progress together, and for me to provide unlimited support between sessions.

The options are almost endless. Plan, create goals, set tasks and actions, journal, build a library of resources – even create completely new functionality, just for you.

Private Coaching Sessions

I offer both private, one-on-one and small-group coaching programs.

If you choose private coaching, all our time is dedicated to you and we can adjust our approach regularly to meet your needs.

Whichever approach you choose, coaching helps you achieve profound and lasting change in yourself, your career and your life.

I don’t supply you with suggestions or answers – only your answers are right for you, and I help you find them.

We work together in conversation to help you gain clarity and awareness relating to your career goals and challenges and what actions can help you move forwards to improve your career and quality of life.

As an online career coach, London may be my home but I deliver the same standard of coaching – and the same results – to clients across the world.

You save time. You can be wherever you like. And with digital whiteboards, screen-sharing and optional session recordings, you can make the sessions count for so much more.

My coaching is confidential, supportive and challenging.

Group Career Change Program

I offer both private, one-on-one and small-group coaching programs.

My group program, the Career Change Lab, provides the experience, insight and support of fellow career changers alongside intensive coaching sessions and over twice the support time of private coaching – all for a lower investment.

Action & Accountability

My approach is patient and gentle. I’ll never force you to do anything. But if you set yourself a task, you can expect me to ask if it’s been done. And if not, we’ll talk about it. I am determined to bring you strong, lasting value from our time together.

Unlimited Support

24/7 access to chat within your online workspace, to support you with workbooks, actions, or other thoughts as they arise.
