Anyone can benefit from this conversation, but you should consider requesting an urgent check-up if any of these resonate:

• Sunday nights fill you with dread

• You're working longer hours but feel like you’re achieving less

• A trusted friend or family member has suggested you quit your job (possibly more than once)

• You've fantasised about completely changing careers, or leaving the workforce entirely

• The phrase ‘work/life balance’ makes you laugh…

• You’ve told yourself, “This is just temporary. Things will calm down once I…”

• You feel like you’re leaning back, letting your career ‘happen’ to you

• You tend to wait for opportunities to present themselves

• You’re feeling more anxious about tasks or responsibilities that you used to be able to handle in your sleep

• You're successful on paper but exhausted in reality

• You relate to that image of the duck on the water - looking smooth up top, but frantically paddling underneath

• You’d secretly love it if your boss offered to take something big off your plate

• You've researched the symptoms of professional burnout

• You feel stuck or trapped in a role but don't know why

• You've thought ‘there must be more to work than this’

• You're better at what you do, but don’t feel as satisfied by or connected to what it is you’re doing

• You’re pulling back from your colleagues, and feeling more isolated at work

• You’ve lost confidence in your skills, and you’re worried that others are now discussing your performance

My role is to show you why you’re feeling this way, show you what can be done to influence your situation, and to leave you with insights and immediately actionable next steps.

My clients come from a wide range of industries, but they all share a common curiosity about how sustainable their work lives are and what can be done to positively influence their unique situation.

They’re often high-achieving professionals, business owners, or leaders, who love what they do (or at least, used to love it) but who are now asking questions about whether things could be working better.

They include:

• Healthcare or medical professionals, in private practice or the public system or both

• Academics and University staff, educators

• Business (or side hustle) owners

• Corporate leaders, Executives, People leaders

• Creative professionals in the Arts, Cultural or GLAM (Gallery, Libraries, Archives and Museum) sectors

• Professionals in Communications and Marketing

• Those in the Public sector

I believe that everyone should be able to benefit from greater understanding of their own situation, which is why the Work Life Check-up is a free service.

Neither! The Work Life Check-up is a strategic diagnostic tool that looks at how certainty about your career and the demands of your work intersect. It's specifically focused on identifying how much ‘momentum’ your work life has, and how we could influence that momentum to be sustainable (as opposed to too high or too low).

Think of it as a strategic, pre-emptive check-up for your professional life. We're diagnosing where you are and where you’ve been, and prescribing practical interventions based on your specific journey.

No, you absolutely don't need to be currently employed. In fact, I work with people who are in career transitions, have been made redundant, or are between roles. Not having a job creates its own kind of impact on your life, and the check-up helps you understand where you are and what direction to take.

The Work Life Check-up is particularly valuable if you:

• Have been made redundant and need clarity on next steps

• Are transitioning between careers

• Haven't been ‘in the workforce’ for some time (perhaps you’ve been a primary carer)

• Are considering a portfolio career and want to explore what that looks like

• Are between roles and want to make strategic rather than reactive choices

This is actually an ideal time to take stock and work out what you want to achieve in your career, rather than just jumping into the next available option.

If finances are tight, remember that the Work Life Check-up is completely free, with no obligation to work together in the future. You will find value in our conversation, and walk away with insights and increased clarity, no matter what.

Your privacy is paramount to our work together. Everything we discuss during our Work Life Check-up, our sessions and correspondence remains strictly confidential. I understand that you're entrusting me with sensitive information about your work practices, career challenges, personal aspirations and more.

Please be assured that nothing you share will be disclosed to anyone else without your explicit written permission. This includes any details about your workplace, colleagues, or personal circumstances.

Our professional relationship is built on a foundation of absolute trust and discretion, and our conversations are a safe space where you can explore challenges and opportunities and express yourself honestly with complete confidence.

If burnout has even crossed your mind, it's worth doing the check-in. The Work Life Check-up shows where you sit on the Professional Momentum Model grid and, more importantly, your trajectory.

The conversation is entirely non-judgemental. I’m familiar with burnout and burnout recovery, which is why I’m passionate about early intervention and supporting undersupported professionals.

My goal is to give you clarity and agency. Once we know where you are, we can identify the actions you can take, and what you need to do first.

If you feel like you need immediate assistance, Beyond Blue has helpful resources. They even offer an online tool if you’re not ready to talk to someone face-to-face.

Remember, burnout is never the fault of the individual, and help is available.

I believe that everyone should be able to benefit from clarity about their work life sustainability, and what the risks are of staying in a zone for too long, no matter their financial situation.

At its heart, my work is about preventing (or assisting recovery from) professional burnout. I’m here to help with the ‘work’ part of work/life balance. I’ve combined my skills in performance strategy, solution design, operations, leadership, mentoring and change management to provide a unique service that helps people’s work lives work better.

Based on client feedback, I’m strongly confident that you’ll leave a Work Life Check-up feeling ‘lighter’, clearer about your situation, and more certain of the right thing to do next.

Absolutely. My approach incorporates neurodivergence and recognises that traditional advice based on neurotypical preferences doesn't work for everyone.

We'll explore strategies that recognise and work with your preferred ways of working, not against them.

The visual element of the Work Life Check-up, the mapping of the zones and the creative visual frameworks that I’ve devised for each zone often resonate with neurodivergent professionals. The conversation will offer new ways of thinking about your situation and possible paths forward.

There's nothing you need to prepare! Come as you are, with whatever is on your mind about your work life. The assessment is designed to uncover insights through our conversation, not through homework.

That said, it helps to be somewhere you can speak freely and have about 50 minutes without interruptions.

At the heart of our conversation will be two questions:

1. How sure are you of your career direction?

2. How much is your work impacting on your day-to-day life?

If you can talk to me about those two elements, you’re ready for a check-up.

Sessions are conducted via video call (Google Meet). You just need a stable internet connection and a device with camera and microphone.

Have paper and pen handy for the exercises.

I provide a written summary of the session within 24 hours of our meeting, but you’re always welcome to take your own notes throughout.

After your Work Life Check-up, you'll have:

• Clear understanding of your current zone, and the risks of staying there too long without a plan

• Insight into what your trajectory might look like without intervention

• Initial strategies appropriate for your zone placement

• The option to continue with deeper work if desired

• A written summary of our conversation, sent within 24 hours

After our conversation, you then have the option of working with me as a client. My programs are completely personalised to your circumstances. We work together over a period of months to design and implement a more sustainable work life for you, whatever that looks like for your particular goals.

There’s no obligation to work together beyond the Check-up. Some people prefer to process the information before contacting me about my programs. There's no pressure - the check-up is valuable by itself, even without further strategies and solutions.

Request a Work Life Check-up for immediate clarity on where you are, where you’ve been and where you're headed. No preparation needed, just bring yourself and your questions.
