Through personalised coaching, you will:
Reflect on your achievements and identify what brings you meaning moving forward
Explore options for semi-retirement that balance income, lifestyle, and purpose
Develop a transition plan that supports your well-being and goals
Overcome uncertainties and embrace change positively
Build new routines and redefine your identity beyond work
Retirement is not an end, but a new beginning. Let Career Inspiration guide you in crafting a retirement journey that’s rewarding, purposeful, and uniquely yours.

Reviews from some of our recent clients
Julie was a delight to work with. She clearly knows her stuff and was able to apply her knowledge and tailor it to my needs.
She was very organised and managed to get so much into our sessions, not a minute was wasted. After three sessions I am clear on my goals and have a path to get there. Thank you, Julie!
Julie assisted me with resume creation and cover letter writing. To say Julie was excellent would be selling her short.
Julie’s knowledge of how to navigate the job market and how to prepare yourself was exceptional. The tools she offered and the personal advice and approach were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Julie if you are looking to change jobs or careers and you don’t know where to start, or if you’re just looking to tidy up your profiles and prepare for job application. Thanks Julie!
I used Julie’s coaching services for a senior position I had applied for at work, and I loved the process and how she always knew what to advise in each step of the process.
She helped me update my resume and coached me for my interview based on the key selection criteria. She was always prepared for each of our sessions and gave me practical and useful feedback. In the beginning, I was a bit lost without even knowing my strengths well, so I was unable to identify good examples when speaking about my achievements at work, but she asks the right questions to know you well professionally, and then she has this ability to write down things the best way for you. One of her many qualities is her patience. She was always willing to help accomodate her calendar around my need. She boosted my confidence and followed up on how I felt after each step of the recruitment process. I am so grateful to Julie for her time, and I highly recommend her career coach services.
