Career Coaching Program for Clarity and Career Momentum

Career Control – Half-Day Intensive

Get Clarity, Direction, and Momentum in Your Job Search – Fast

Personalised coaching for professionals who want results now, not months from now.

If you’re ready to take control of your career, stop second-guessing yourself, and finally get the results you deserve, you’re in the right place.

The Career Control Program is designed for professionals who want practical, personalised support in the areas that actually move the needle: job search strategy, messaging, personal branding, CV and LinkedIn optimisation, interview readiness, and positioning yourself as the solution to the company’s biggest problems.

This is a focused, results-driven intensive designed to give you clarity and traction quickly – not eventually.

Who This Is For

This program is ideal if:

  • You know you’re good at what you do, but you’re not getting the offers, promotions, or recognition your experience deserves.
  • You struggle to communicate your strengths clearly and confidently — especially in interviews.
  • You know you need a better job search strategy, but you’re unsure where to start.
  • Your CV/resume or LinkedIn profile isn’t getting traction and you don’t know why.
  • You find it difficult to articulate your value proposition or tell your career story in a compelling way.
  • You want more visibility, but “selling yourself” feels awkward or unnatural.
  • You want personalised, actionable guidance – fast – not guesswork or another generic online course.

If this sounds like you, this intensive will help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a plan that actually works.

Why coaching?

Even the strongest professionals get stuck.

And most people lose months – sometimes years – trying to figure out job search, personal branding, or interview preparation on their own.

A coach accelerates everything.

You get clarity faster, make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and dramatically improve how employers perceive you.

Most clients say the intensive pays for itself within weeks – often with a single successful interview.

    Client Testimonials

    I started my search thinking that it would be fairly fast, but over time learned that my branding and interviewing skills were dramatically holding me back.

    I started working with Margaret when I blocked at mid-stage interviews. She helped me to thoroughly prepare, challenged me to articulate more thoughtfully and engage with interviewers more effectively. Through her coaching, I developed a much more strategic mindset. A few opportunities came and went, but I had renewed confidence that it was only a matter of time with Margaret in my corner.

    Without her sage partnership and guidance, I have no doubt that I’d still be searching and applying. Her depth of knowledge is incredible, and her coaching is priceless.

    David

    Director of Revenue Operations

    The interview went really well and I was offered the job… I start on 18th when I get back from holiday!  Thanks again for working with me, I found the whole experience incredibly useful!

    Catherine P

    Corporate Adviser Membership

    Margaret’s Interview coaching skills are extraordinary! She doesn’t just talk about what it takes to have a good interview. She will have you practice so you gain confidence and poise. Margaret coached me on how to take all the work experience and help me present it in a way that was articulate, authentic and professional. Margaret is also funny and easy going so you feel very comfortable with her as your Interview Coach.

    Thank you Margaret for all your efforts, I have just received the contract today from the employer and I’m over the moon.

    Thank you once again.

    Ravi Navam

    Senior Network Engineer

    I am very grateful to Margaret as the one to one coaching gave me the confidence to perform very well during the interview process. I am a Banking professional with international experience and was looking for a role in Management Consulting for over one year yet I couldn’t convince Employers to both invest in me and understand the value I could add to their organization. I was getting interviews and also reaching the final stages of a couple of interviews without securing a role which was quite frustrating.

    I knew my profile and CV was strong, but needed an extra edge over other candidates and the coaching session with Margaret was very beneficial. Would highly recommend it.

    Common Questions

    How long is the program?
    The intensive is 3 hours, plus a 30-minute follow-up. You can do the 3 hours together or split into three 1-hour sessions.
    Do I need to prepare anything?
    Just come ready to be honest about where you’re stuck and what you want next. I’ll guide you through everything else. I’d however need to receive your CV/resume and some examples of jobs that interest you prior to the session.
    Is this for senior professionals only?
    No. I work with professionals at all levels – from mid-career to executive – across all industries.
    What if I'm not actively job searching?
    That’s completely fine. Many clients work with me to position themselves for internal promotions or prepare for a future move.
    Can I get a refund?
    Due to the personalised nature of this program, all sales are final. If you’re unsure, book a free consultation first.
