Career & Personal Development Programme
A practical way to become proactive about your career and life and move from operating on autopilot to feeling more motivated and fulfilled
Who is it for?
This programme is for ambitious professionals who are seeking professional support and guidance in order to discover new, more fulfilling career opportunities and:
- Advance their career in the same organisation, or
- Find a new role in a different organisation, or
- Pivot into a different career path, or
- Start their own business, or
- Change careers completely, or
- Return to work after a career break
This programme goes beyond traditional career advice and offers a transformative path to self-discovery that encourages a deeper exploration of your interests, mindset, habits, strengths, and areas for growth.
This programme is NOT for those who:
- Are not prepared to do the work and, among other things, look inwards, which may not always be comfortable
- Want to be told exactly what to do and simply follow directions
- Are not prepared to start doing things differently
How does it work?
This programme follows a clear and proven step-by-step framework based on my experience helping other ambitious professionals discover new career paths and/or transit in their current career.
In particular, we will work on:
- Completing a strategic career/life audit: Analysing where you are now in your career and life, how you feel about your situation, and what opportunities you would like to explore
- Identifying what may be getting in your way and how best to overcome these obstacles
- Setting realistic and sustainable goals, including capitalising on opportunities
- Creating your unique career and personal development framework that you can confidently follow step by step
What’s included in this programme?
This programme includes:
- Online coaching sessions of 60 minutes each, conducted via video calls, usually spread over 3 months to a year, and available in three package options, as described below
- Practical exercises related to the coaching sessions on which you will receive feedback
- Additional practical tools and resources (backed up by studies from neuroscience) to help increase your self-awareness and address developmental needs
- A review with feedback on your CV and/or LinkedIn profile (not a rewrite) during our scheduled sessions
- Practice answering common interview questions and engage in informal conversations so you can own your narrative and communicate with greater impact and influence (included only in the Comprehensive Package)
- One 30-minute post-programme follow-up call to review and assess progress
We will meet regularly for a period of 3–12 months, tailoring the schedule and pace to suit your preferences and goals.
Packages available
Comprehensive Package (12 sessions)
This in-depth package provides a holistic and transformative approach to career and personal development.

It’s ideal for those seeking a thorough, guided programme to regain clarity, confidence, and momentum in your professional transition journey.
Standard Package (10 sessions)
This package offers a focused and structured approach to career and personal development, covering all the elements of the 12-session package except interview coaching.

Flexible Package (6 sessions)
This streamlined package offers six coaching sessions with a flexible agenda, allowing you to focus on your unique priorities and challenges.

- Gained clarity about what success means to you in your career and life

There are a lot of people out there who do what Tami does, but I can’t believe there are many who do it so well. Tami’s coaching helped me uncover, understand and appreciate my skill set. I looked forward to the sessions, which left me with an unfamiliar sense of clarity and confidence about who I was and where I was going. I also secured the job I was looking for.
I started my coaching with Tami not knowing what to expect and have been amazed by the insight I have gained into my decisions, outlook and aspirations. Tami immediately made me feel comfortable and was able to lead me to practical steps and solutions that I don’t think I would have found on my own.

Each session with Tami felt like a safe and supportive space, where she encouraged me to recognize my wins and use them to face my challenges. She is an excellent listener who quickly picks up on key points that matter to me and encourages me to explore them further. Her advice on career and personal growth has been invaluable.
Working with Tami really helped me refocus and regain a lot of confidence I had lost. She helped me to think about where I wanted to go with my career considering my values and goals and we worked together to formulate a strategy as to how I could move forward to achieve them.
Tami was wonderful to work with, open and approachable, and genuinely supportive.
