Most people are sitting on a goldmine of experience they've convinced themselves doesn't count Many of my career coaching clients feel unfulfilled in their current role and are considering a career change. The challenge is that they often believe they don't have the right experience for the direction they want to take, leaving them feeling as though they are starting again from scratch. But once we start exploring what they've done, built, navigated and overcome, it quickly b

How to Write a CV That Gets Past ATS Screening Most job seekers don't realise their CV is never seen by a human. Here's what's actually happening and how to fix it. Why Your CV Is Being Rejected Before Anyone Reads It Most large organisations and many medium sized ones now use Applicant Tracking Systems, known as ATS, to manage recruitment. These are software platforms that receive, store and filter job applications before a human recruiter ever sees them According to Jobscan

ATS Tracking is Widely Used in Recruitment What nobody is telling job seekers, and why your CV might be disappearing into a black hole You've spent hours on your CV. You've tailored it carefully. You've applied for roles you're genuinely qualified for. And then nothing. No response, no feedback, just silence. If this sounds familiar, there's a good chance your CV isn't reaching a human being at all. The Hidden Filter Most Job Seekers Don't Know About Most large organisations

The honest answer to the question everyone is asking but not everyone wants to hear Let's start with the truth: some jobs will be replaced by AI. Not might be. Will be. In some industries, that's already happening. And pretending otherwise doesn't help anyone.

AI is not a simple on/off switch that either takes your job or

If you're currently feeling "AI anxiety" at work, you aren't alone. A common question I get asked is "Will AI replace my job?". The answer isn't a simple "yes" or "no." It's more of a "No, but your job is definitely changing." Work isn't just about earning money. It's often tied to our identity, our confidence and it gives us a sense of security.

Since partnering with the The Work From Home Hub , I’m coaching more and more people who are questioning whether their work still gives them a sense of impact, meaning or purpose. They’re proud of what they’ve achieved but something feels missing and as such are looking to change careers. Increasingly, I hear phrases like: “I want to do something that matters.” “I’d love to work for a charity or social enterprise.” “I just want to feel like my work makes a difference.” The

I have recently been holding a number of workshops with CEO’s, MD’s and members of SLT’s on the topic of Leading in the Age of AI. And whilst there have been countless fascinating discussions about the opportunity and challenges that AI brings, there is one theme that is without a doubt (in my humble opinion) the absolute leadership priority. A recent survey by Microsoft report that 75% of knowledge workers use AI in some capacity for their work. And when employees don't ha
