  • Career Coaching:
    Identifying core purpose & strengths
    “I found my sessions with Bettina really useful – she was very good at giving me the space to voice everything going on.  Bettina also provided some really useful tools for helping me identify my strengths and what I enjoy most at work – which gave me the incentive to move from my current role to a new one which focusses more on what I enjoy and where my strengths lie.” Sara, Charity Fund Raiser, UK
  • Career Coaching:
    CV & Confidence Transformation
    "I needed to re-design my CV to help me with my career change. I needed to find and describe the right information to be able to show that I had relevant experience for the roles I was applying for. My biggest insight was that the role description should focus on achievements instead of tasks. I felt more positive and empowered about talking about what I have done in a confident way. I now have a CV that I see as more marketable and I hope it will help me to finally land into the position I desire :-). I have already started noticing the different response that recruiters give to my CV as they can see the information they need for the roles they recruit for. Thank you again and all the very best," Talita C, Researcher, UK

  • Leadership Coaching for Business Transformation:
    Challenging old paradigms and breaking through stuck perspectives and overwhelm to achieve quick and sustainable progress and business transformation.
    “Bettina’s passion and intensity makes working with her very rewarding; she is not afraid to ‘cut to the chase’; the sessions very quickly provoke thought, debate and ultimately positive change. Approachable and yet not afraid to challenge perceptions she created a pressure relief valve within the firm at a crucial time allowing us to home in on latent issues of concern which if not addressed would have caused us significant trouble down the road.” R.I., Chief Technology Officer, Media Technology Company
