Our client was shocked after a 30+ year career with a prestigious global law firm, to learn that his role in its London office was effectively redundant.  When we first met, he was finding this hard to come to terms with for he had always assumed he would see out his career with the firm that had defined his professional identity.

We reassured him that in his early 50’s he had ample time to achieve something meaningful and exciting in his professional life. Working through the Exploratory phase of our programme helped our client define what his key criteria were for any future role. One that would be both professionally fulfilling and aligned with his broader life goals. 

We worked together to refine his pitch to prospective employers, ensuring his message was clear and compelling. Using both his professional network and our connections, he explored a number of opportunities. Several promising roles emerged but one in particular caught his eye. It stood out as the perfect fit and, less than nine months on from our first session, he was delighted to take on the role.

Today our client is thriving in a leadership role that allows him to leverage his legal skills while applying his broader commercial expertise and market knowledge. This new chapter provides him with a balanced quality of life he once thought unattainable. And he is laying the groundwork for a future philanthropic career that aligns with his long-term vision.

This case study demonstrates the transformative potential of our programme, of being open minded and diligently applying oneself to a structured process.  Our client’s journey underscores the value of perseverance and preparation, as the golfing great Gary Player famously said, “The harder I practice, the luckier I get!”

You helped me get to a place of clarity in a very short period of time.

What you offer is genuine career transition support and not based on hypotheticals. You are able to marry the coaching/mentoring aspect of the role with the real-world experience you have in the recruitment and placement industry. I have found the entire experience with you very positive.
