One to one coaching with Jen

Your career matters. So does the rest of your life.

You might be looking ahead to a bigger role, questioning your next move, or wanting to handle the challenges of your current one differently.

Perhaps there are conversations you've been putting off, decisions you've been going round in circles over, or ways of working that have served you brilliantly for years but are starting to cost you more than you'd like.

Whatever has brought you here, there's an opportunity to think differently about what you want and how you're going to get there.

Over six months, we'll work on the practical challenges you're facing and explore the thoughts, expectations and habits influencing how you approach them.

So you can make decisions you trust, handle challenges with confidence, pursue the opportunities that excite you and build a career that works for the life you want to live.

Made for you

What could we work on together?

Your coaching journey is yours. You're an individual, with your own experiences, challenges, ambitions and ideas about the life you want to create. So it makes sense that our work together should be shaped around you.

You might arrive knowing exactly what you want to tackle. Or you might have a sense that something needs to change, without being entirely sure where to begin.

And sometimes, as we start exploring, we discover that the thing you came to coaching for is connected to something you hadn't considered at all.

There are all sorts of places our work might take us.

01

Your career and leadership

Perhaps you're considering your next move, stepping into a bigger role or figuring out the kind of leader you want to be. We might explore how you navigate difficult relationships, communicate with greater confidence or make decisions about your career.

So you can enjoy the challenges, take opportunities that excite you and build a professional life that feels rewarding on your own terms.

02

Making changes that actually stick

You know what you'd like to change. Perhaps it's saying no, speaking up or trusting a decision without going over it again and again. Yet when the moment comes, it's easy to fall back into familiar habits.

We'll explore what's driving those responses, including expectations and assumptions you might not even realise you're carrying. With greater self-awareness, you can make different choices and build changes that last.

03

The life you want to be living

Perhaps your career is going well, but you want to enjoy it more. You'd like more time and energy for the people and things you love, or you're ready to explore an exciting possibility you've been putting off.

We might look at what genuinely makes you happy, what you're giving your time and attention to, and what you'd love to have more of in your life.

Whether that leads to big changes or a different way of enjoying what you've already built, the important thing is that it's a life you're choosing for yourself.

The coaching experience

Six months of having someone in your corner.

Jen Goddard in a professional meeting room

Working together over six months gives us the time and space to explore what really matters to you, make meaningful changes and discover how those changes work in your everyday life.

We'll start by getting clear on what you want to create and what you'd love to be different by the end of our time together. That gives us a direction to work towards, even though the route we take won't necessarily be a straight line.

We'll usually meet every fortnight for twelve sessions. Sometimes we'll work through a particular challenge, decision or difficult conversation. Other times, we'll explore the bigger picture, including the beliefs, expectations and habits influencing how you approach things. We'll keep coming back to your intentions, choosing the conversations that will help you move forwards.

I bring eighteen years of experience in the corporate world and an analytical mind that loves getting to the heart of a problem. Alongside that, you'll find a space where you can be completely yourself, with gentle curiosity, thoughtful questions and challenges that help you see things differently.

And some of the most important moments will happen between our conversations.

When you handle something differently. Have the conversation you've been avoiding. Make a decision you feel good about. Or realise that something which used to consume enormous amounts of energy simply doesn't anymore.

We'll learn from those experiences, keep exploring and adjust as we go.

So that when our six months together come to an end, you'll have much more than answers to the questions you arrived with. You'll understand yourself better, trust your own judgement more and have new ways of approaching things that will continue to serve you.

What becomes possible?

Katie's story

When life starts being fun again.

Katie was so stressed about work that she'd stopped enjoying almost everything else. She was cancelling plans with friends, avoiding social events and spending much of her time outside work still thinking about it. She'd begun to believe that being highly strung was simply part of her personality.

Then she saw the difference coaching had made to a colleague and thought, “I want that too.”

As we worked together, Katie discovered something important. She wasn't simply trying to do her job well. She was putting enormous pressure on herself to be seen to be doing it well. Every decision, every piece of work, every interaction carried the additional weight of what other people might think.

Once she recognised that need for approval, she began to loosen its hold. She could do her job just as well without making everything feel like a test of her worth.

And the difference was enormous. She was doing the same work with a fraction of the stress. Work no longer occupied every spare corner of her mind, and there was room for friends, hobbies and enjoying life again.

She'd discovered that the person she'd always believed herself to be wasn't quite who she thought.

“I didn’t think I could ever be this relaxed about certain things. I thought I was just a highly strung person, but this showed me a whole new side of myself.”

Katie · Actuary

Maeve's story*

Finding the confidence to take up her space.

Maeve enjoyed her work and knew she had more to offer. She wanted to speak up, have greater influence and feel more in control of her professional life.

But challenging decisions or saying something people might not want to hear made her nervous. What if people thought she was difficult? What if speaking up damaged the relationships she'd worked hard to build?

As we explored those worries, Maeve began recognising some of the assumptions she'd been making about how she needed to behave at work. Being helpful and agreeable had served her well, but she'd started treating those qualities as rules she couldn't break.

She began testing those assumptions. She spoke up more, challenged things that weren't working and became clearer about her priorities. And instead of the negative reactions she'd been expecting, she found that people listened and took her views seriously.

That made it easier to keep going. She could disagree, advocate for herself and be assertive without losing the good relationships she'd built.

She was finding her own way of leading, rather than trying to be the person she thought everyone expected.

“I've become a lot more assertive and a lot more comfortable with saying things to people that they might not want to hear. I'm also a lot better at prioritizing the things that matter to me.”

Your coaching programme

A bespoke six months, built around you.

Six months. Twelve sessions. A coaching journey that's entirely yours.

We'll shape our work around your circumstances, your ambitions and the life you want to create. And there's more to the experience than our fortnightly conversations.

At the heart of the programme

Twelve 1:1 coaching sessions

We'll meet approximately every fortnight over six months, making space to explore, experiment and build on what you discover as you go. No fixed curriculum, no prewritten journey. It's bespoke to you.

Time to think more deeply

A VIP Day in Bournemouth

A whole day dedicated to you, away from the usual demands of everyday life. Time to explore something in greater depth, think about the bigger picture or work through whatever would benefit from that extra space and attention.

With some sea air and a change of scenery thrown in for good measure.

Another kind of support

Six months in the Soulfire Circle

You'll also have access to the Soulfire Circle, with its regular group coaching circles, embodiment sessions and supportive community.

Another opportunity to explore, learn, connect with others and keep building on the changes you're making.

A few details

A few things you might be wondering.

How do I know if coaching is right for me?
That's exactly what our Clarity Call is for. We'll talk about what's happening in your life, what you'd like to change and what working together could look like. It's also an opportunity for us both to see whether we're a good fit.
Do I need to know exactly what I want to work on?
Not at all. We can start exploring that during your Clarity Call. At the beginning of our coaching, we'll agree an overall direction based on what matters to you and what you'd like to create. Then we'll revisit your goals and intentions regularly, making sure our work continues to move you towards the life and career you want.
What about the investment?
We'll talk about the investment during your Clarity Call, once we've had a chance to explore what you're looking for and whether working together feels like the right fit.
Can my employer pay for my coaching?
Absolutely. Many organisations support coaching as part of their professional and leadership development. If you'd like to explore employer funding, I'm happy to provide information about the programme that you can share with your organisation.

Power Hours

Sometimes an hour is a great place to start.

Perhaps there's something specific you'd love to work through with a coach. A decision you're struggling with, a conversation you need to have, or a situation you'd really appreciate a fresh perspective on.

Or perhaps you're curious about coaching but aren't quite ready to commit to six months of working together.

A Power Hour gives us 60 minutes dedicated entirely to you.

We'll explore what's happening, get curious about what's underneath it and work towards finding a way forward that feels right for you.

Power Hours are also a lovely option if we've worked together before and you'd appreciate some additional support with something that's come up since.

You'll get the same combination of curiosity, challenge and practical thinking that I bring to all my coaching, with the opportunity to experience just how much can happen in one good conversation.

Ready to explore what's possible?

Let's have a conversation about what you'd love to create and how we might work together to make it happen.
