Licensed Firework coaches

Obi James

London, UK

I coach mid- and senior-level professionals in the corporate sector (predominantly financial services), helping them to position their personal brand, successfully navigate their networks and expand career possibilities.

My coaching approach draws from:

a) Latest findings in the field of neuroscience to create an understanding of how coaching impacts neuroplasticity and helps build the psychological skills needed to support lasting change.

b) Systemic Thinking to help senior professionals, executives and business leaders to look beyond individual development to find solutions which also benefit the wider systems they're part of.

c) My strong corporate experience in senior leadership and organisational development roles within large multinational organisations. This means my coaching approach is tailored to factor in pressures and constraints that come with leadership responsibility in these organisations.

d) Mindfulness Practice to help leaders stay present, see things clearly and grow their awareness of self and others so they are better able to manage their own state of mind and reactions.

I am a certified and licensed assessor in a number of globally recognised psychometric profiles which compliment my thorough diagnostic process, where needed.

I have been described by clients as fiercely courageous in my approach, and as an “exquisite life guide and breakthrough facilitator”. I build strong connections with my client and with that, comes permission to challenge, provide constructive feedback and ultimately act as a ‘mirror’ to my clients so that they can truly see themselves, celebrate their greatness and self-correct, where necessary. We also throw in a healthy does of lightness and fun.

Ross Nichols

Salisbury, UK

I specialise in coaching professionals in transition to find a successful new career, business or life; integrated wellness coaching and business coaching and mentoring for start-ups, the self-employed and micro, small and medium sized businesses.

I work with values, energy, vitality and spirit. For those who want more structure, I offer structured programmes. Integrated wellness coaching combines dimensions of wellness into a quality way of living through a personal wellness plan. Key words for me are 'transformation' and 'healing'.

Andrea Anderson

Brighton, Sussex & Central London

I specialise in working with people from creative, digital, fast paced, or entrepreneurial business backgrounds. People who may be:

• Successful but frustrated and unhappy in their current career
• Full of ideas but unsure how to make them happen
• Women who have become mothers, who want an autonomous and fulfilling career that allows them to live the life they want to live now.

My style as a coach is warm, intuitive, and, at times, direct. I encourage experimentation and action. This helps the people I work with realise their potential and affirm their confidence.

Caroline Cameron

Melbourne, Australia. Also coach via Skype clients from around Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia

I coach mid-career professionals who are ready to take the next step in their career but aren't sure what they want to do next or how to make a career change.

My coaching style is insightful, challenging and supportive. Together we identify your strengths and passions and create a career you'll love. We remove the barriers and build a simple roadmap that takes you from what you're doing now to what you'd truly love to do.

What can you expect when you work with me? This is best described by one of my clients who said, “You’re the sherpa I needed to climb my ‘Everest’. I had to do the work but you walked beside me, showed me shortcuts, made it easier and kept me on track till I reached the top.”

Sinead Howland

St Albans, Hertfordshire

I offer a full career coaching programme for those looking for a career change or looking to return to work after a career break. I am a mum of two young children, hold an MA in Careers and am also a licensed Firework Career Coach.

Geraldine Locke

London and Global via Zoom or Skype

I specialise in mature career changers looking to make end of career decisions, and moving to a portfolio approach to life, pre-retirement. I coach both one-to-one, with couples and in groups.

I have a down-to-earth, common sense approach to coaching. I use a strengths based approach to helping clients facilitate their journey of self discovery, and help clients to be open minded and practical when facing the choices in front of them.

Alice Davies

I work with individuals looking to make positive career changes. My coaching style is contemporary, creative and fun! I work very much with the individual and together we create a bespoke coaching programme that's right for their personal and professional growth.

  • people in their midlife questionings, regardless of their age

If you're looking for an interactive, inspiring and energising coaching process, with both depth and humour, you're in the right place!

Lorna McDowell

Ireland & UK
  • Team coaching and organisational culture transformation
  • Managers and executives looking to reevaluate their careers and leadership
  • Entrepreneurs of second stage start-ups or investor-backed start ups who want to "take the roof" of the potential of the business
  • Women leaders
  • Depth transformation working in inspirational environments where nature is used as a way to bring about insight and a deeper connection with what's important

Olivia Woods

Berkshire, London & Dublin

Career coaching for senior executives wanting to consider a complete change of career.

Entrepreneurs wanting to be more focussed and organised in their heads so that they can achieve their great ideas rather than letting their ideas slip through their fingers.

Prospective clients wanting to build up their confidence.

A silver fist in a velvet glove would be an accurate description of my working style...I hold a clean space for deep thinking and then agree accountability with the client. This accountability then becomes the focus of our good work together. I'm a skilled motivator and have been referred to as a 'motivational defribilator'.

After many years experience as a senior recruitment consultant I quickly understand what a client is capable of, which is frequently more than they see for themselves.
