Thinking about what’s next?

A  21st century career is less linear, more unpredictable, and there’s no ladder. But it’s also full of possibility.

Today’s 15 yr old is likely to have 17 different jobs across five different careers.

The average job tenure is now three years. Even CEOs only average five.

The pandemic has prompted many of us to rethink what we do, how we work, and even where we work from.

Which means the art of career reinvention is something everyone needs to learn.

We all need to be our own Career Coach — and to know how to figure out what’s next and make it happen.

Because you’re not just going to be asking ‘what’s next’ once in your lifetime.

The best thing you can do is just get started.

I’ll help you work through the rest.

Let’s get you one step closer to that

satisfying,successful career.

About Kate Richardson I Career Coach

I’m a corporate runaway turned certified Career Coach + Executive Coach.

Since reinventing my own career, I’ve worked with hundreds of mid career professionals from 13+ countries. My Find Your Next Framework®️ has helped them re-imagine their future, develop the confidence and skills to succeed, and find what’s next.

I can honestly say I've never felt more excited or motivated about work.

This is what’s possible in a 21st Century Career, when you know what matters and what motivates you, when you can define what you’re really good at and energised by, when you have a vision for your working life and the kind of impact you want to make, and when you’re able to build your confidence in what’s possible, and take action.

It’s what I help professionals and executives work through every day.

Kate - you've been such a big part of my decision and journey.

When we first started working together my brain was a blender of new ideas and question marks. All potential and no plan. Your approach was so powerful in unearthing all my motivations and goals in a digestible and actionable way. You made what seemed impossible into a clear decision with conviction and purpose. Forever grateful!

I’d been stuck in a rut for years! I didn’t realise the extent of it until I discovered what Kate was offering and decided to give my career a rethink.

I find Kate’s approach highly practical. It allows for blue sky thinking but brings career strategy back down to earth by guiding you through a range of exercises. Kate supported me through the exploration phase and after just three months (and during COVID) I landed my dream role, in a brand new career, in a top ten company. I couldn’t be happier.

Find Your Next opened up my eyes to what's out there

For me the course really opened up my eyes to what’s out there, which is exactly what I wanted to achieve during my career break. Having been in the public service so long I hadn’t had the opportunity to look up, reflect, tap into my true strengths and passions, and think about what I could do next. I’d like to really thank you Kate for your insights, support and connections. I’ll be recommending the course to anyone who’ll listen.
