How the 3 months Career Relaunch Programme works:

Initial Preparation

You’ll complete and submit a questionnaire and short career exercise to your Careers Unpacked Coach, 48 hours before your first coaching session. This will help you reflect on your current situation and what you want next, so you start making progress before we even meet!

Every Career Relaunch Programme is tailored towards the client’s individual needs – however, an illustration of a programme is as follows:

Week 1:

90 minute Strategy Session

We’ll meet for your initial 90 minute coaching session, which will be customised to your requirements. We’ll start by getting a snapshot of your current situation, current issues, and where you want to go. We’ll clarify life purpose, values, ambitions and goals.  We’ll identify key roadblocks in your life, common frustrations, areas where you tend to get stuck.  Before co-creating a plan of action to work through together over the next 3 months, we will agree set deliverables for the programme. We’ll also identify at least 3 action steps for you to work on over the next week.

Week 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10:

5 x 60 minute fortnightly coaching sessions

These 60 minute coaching sessions, will be tailored to your individual needs … we will progress methodically together towards your goals.

We’ll dive deeper into your core values, unique strengths, transferrable skills and how to apply these to your professional career goals (and sector) and how you should be showcasing your future value in your personal marketing materials (CV, LinkedIn and personal narrative). At the end of each session, we will talk through next steps and actions to keep you moving forward between sessions.

Week 12:

90 minute capstone coaching session

We will review your progress over the last 3 months and identify how you can best leverage what you have learned as you move forwards in life. This final check-in is an opportunity to get further support, keep you accountable and on track towards your goals.

Post Coaching Support (during the 12 weeks)

Following each coaching session, we’ll send you a summary of the key takeaways, your action steps for the week ahead and a the session recording for you to refer back to. You’ll also have email/text support or short scheduled check-in calls for the duration of your programme to provide accountability and navigate any challenges between sessions. That’s access to your Careers Unpacked Coach for a full 12 weeks to ask questions and navigate any challenges as you start to execute your action plan.

Confidentiality Commitment:

All information is kept 100% confidential, Careers Unpacked Coaches will never divulge to anyone that we are working with you, unless you give us explicit permission

Your Investment in the ‘Career Relaunch Programme’

The Career Relaunch programme is not for you, if you’re:

  • An early careers professional with less than 10 years work experience (this program is designed for emerging or established leaders),

  • Wanting someone to tell you exactly what to do — your Careers Unpacked Coach will be your mentor, accountability partner and will guide you to find the right answers for you, but ultimately, the decisions and compromises needed are up to you.

  • Wanting someone to act as a head-hunter and/or placement agent. Your Careers Unpacked Coach will not find your next role for you.

  • Not willing to re-evaluate your opinions or change your approach to career management.

  • Comfortable in your current position and aren’t ready to do the work required to make a change professionally.

WORDS OF CAUTION

  • Coaching at times, will stretch you beyond your comfort zone, it requires serious commitment and an investment in time, money and energy.

  • You will need to own your responsibility to take regular action to accomplish the goals you desire. No one else can do the work for you, but the results can be life-changing.

  • Coaching is most effective when the coach-client relationship is strong.  That means finding someone whom you personally find credible, resourceful, and empathetic with your situation.  Someone who “gets” you, yet someone who can offer fresh perspectives on things. You can get a sense of this during an initial consultation.

Next Steps

‘CAREER RELAUNCH PROGRAMME’ is an intensive transformational programme, delivered over 3 months. You will need to have the time to dedicate to working on your strategic career plan between the fortnightly sessions (on average you will need a minimum of 4 hours each week set aside for this work), in addition to your 1 to 1 career coaching sessions.

At the end of the 3 months, you’ll have the option to upgrade to a further 3 months of coaching if you’d like ongoing accountability and support to create clarity, direction and a step-by-step strategy for your career.

“I highly recommend Annette to anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of their career potential and seeking to make impactful changes. Her expertise and personalised coaching methods provide invaluable insights and a structured roadmap to professional success

Working with Annette as my career coach was a transformative experience that reshaped my professional journey. At the onset, I was searching for direction—unsure about the next steps in my career. Annette not only helped clarify my path but also equipped me with the tools &  confidence necessary to advance.

 Throughout our sessions, Annette’s guidance was pivotal in helping me understand my (transferable skills) strengths &  how to leverage them while addressing the treble move (Country, Industry & Role) . Her approach was personalised, always focusing on aligning my  broad aspirations with meaningful practical steps to achieve them”

 Omar Qazi, Buying Director Asia + MENA, THG Beauty  ( LookFantastic)

“Annette is a genuine caring person, patient and dedicated. She takes you on a journey to reach your potential and escape your comfort zone. The journey can be bumpy, but Annette’s reassuring hand is always available

I had lost sight of what was important in my life and professionally. After the coaching sessions with Annette, I regain confidence in myself and took ownership of my career.

Prior to meeting Annette, I had reached a roadblock which was stopping me moving forward or sideways. With Annette and her coaching exercises, I was able to determine what I wanted my career to be like, focusing on my values and my strengths, which would make the difference in my next professional step.

Would I recommend Annette to any of my friends or colleagues? Absolutely!

Since that summer working with Annette, I have been working for the same firm, progressing, working to my full capacity, and remembering what is important to me and how to reach my goals.”
