Municipal Recovery Manager at Frankston City Council

I was fortunate to be allocated to Brian for coaching during redeployment from State Government after 13 years. Our sessions together evolved seamlessly due to Brian highlighting opportunities for significant personal growth.

I was respectfully challenged to look at my concerns constructively and with a different lens. As my personal cheer leader Brian successfully encouraged me to see all that I had to offer a prospective employer as well as focusing on my overall wellbeing.

I recommend Brian to anyone looking for guidance and support through significant personal challenges such as career transition.

Brian has forced me to think differently about what's important to me and has provided me with frameworks to evaluate and focus on achieving my personal goals.

A sounding board, coach, mentor and all round nice guy - I looked forward to our regular catch ups.

I highly and gladly recommend Brian to any person transitioning from one career to another.

Brian is pragmatic and practical, he challenges limiting assumptions and helps define a new path forward. Most importantly he made me laugh when all I wanted to do was feel sorry for myself. Brian not only supported me through to my next position he made sure I was settled there.

I think everyone deserves a Brian in difficult times.

“Change is not easy but change can be a great opportunity and Brian definitely made sure I see it. With his help, I am more clear about my career choice and what I need to do to get there. ”

Manager Scaled Advice

I had the great privilege to work with Brian during a period of transition.

His guidance and insight during the transition was invaluable and certainly helped me move through the change in a positive and productive way.

However I had the opportunity to continue work with Brian for a period of time after that change, and really valued to opportunity to look at some of life's bigger questions (purpose, values, enabling self change and understanding who you are).

He's far more than a career and transition coach, very much someone to engage and work with as you look at some of your bigger life direction changes.

Brian is a highly skilled career coach.

I have to admit that when I first met Brian I was skeptical about what he could offer. I thought outplacement services were designed to make companies feel good about laying off staff. How wrong I was!

Over a number of sessions, Brian carefully listened to me to discover and unpack the unconscious blockages I had created for myself.

He left me knowing the very practical steps I can put in place to lean into a much more desirable career future. If you too get the opportunity to speak with Brian I am pretty confident you will be equally rewarded. Thanks again!

Engaging with Brian has led to a successful outcome for me in being offered not just a job - but my dream job! Thank you Brian!!!

Local Area Coordinator at Latrobe Community Health Service

Highly recommend Brian for anyone looking to evolve to the next stage of their career.

Having been made redundant I was unsure of my next career move. Like most I thought I could handle it all myself but after one meeting with Brian I quickly realised that to get where I wanted to go I needed to have my ingrained thinking habits challenged as well as my planning capacity.

Brian did this objectively, professionally and importantly, kept in contact to keep me accountable to the plan we had agreed on. Subsequently I have landed a role in an industry that matched both my financial and personal fulfilment goals.

Many thanks Brian for your help, expertise and genuine care.

General Manager at Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry

Brian really highlights the skill set that you have developed across your working life and ensures you know how best to utilise this in any future employment discussions. His compassionate and understanding manner allow you to relax in the conversations and I always found the discussions free flowing with many ideas and ambitions explored.

One of the first questions he asked me was 'Tim, what do you want to do?'...as simple as that sounded, it was a much more difficult question than what I first thought. Over the proceeding meetings, Brian assisted me to see what was possible with my skill set. Not only that, he opened my mind to other possible opportunities should I wish to digress from my career to date. So within a few meetings with Brian, I had established what I wanted to do in order of preference as well as opening my eyes to other thoughts and prospects.

I can thoroughly recommend Brian and his services. If you are looking for some internal assistance with direction as an individual, Brian can really delve into your interests and establish with you a clear direction and pathway forward in your career.
