Frequently asked questions

What does a career coach do?

A career coach helps you gain clarity about your professional direction and develop a strategy for your next move. Through structured conversations and frameworks like The Career Move Method™, career coaching helps you identify your strengths, clarify what you want next, and confidently navigate career transitions.

How do I know if I need a career coach?

Many people seek career coaching when they feel stuck, uncertain about their next move, or disconnected from their work. If you’re questioning your career direction, lacking confidence in your professional identity, or unsure how to navigate a career transition, working with a career coach can help you gain clarity and build a strategy for moving forward.

What is career clarity?

Career clarity means having a clear understanding of what you want from your work, the type of role that suits you best, and the impact you want to have in your career. Many successful professionals feel stuck not because they lack capability, but because they lack clarity about what they truly want next.

How can coaching help with a career transition?

Career transitions often involve uncertainty, identity shifts, and new opportunities. Career coaching helps you explore what you want next, rebuild confidence, and develop a clear strategy for navigating the transition successfully.

What is The Career Move Method™?

The Career Move Method™ is a structured coaching framework designed to help experienced professionals navigate career transitions with clarity and confidence. The method focuses on gaining career clarity, rebuilding confidence, developing a strategic career plan, and positioning yourself for the right opportunities.

How long does career coaching take?

The length of career coaching varies depending on your goals. Some clients work together for a few sessions to gain career clarity, while others engage in a longer program to design and implement a strategic career move. Many clients work through The Career Move Method™ across six coaching sessions.

Is career coaching only for people changing careers?

No. Career coaching is also valuable for professionals who want to grow in their current field, step into leadership roles, or gain greater influence and visibility in their organisation.

Who do you work with as a career coach?

I work primarily with experienced professionals and women leaders who are ready to make a thoughtful and intentional career move. Many of my clients are senior managers, directors, founders, or professionals navigating the next stage of their careers.

What happens in a career coaching session?

Career coaching sessions are structured conversations focused on gaining insight, exploring possibilities, and building strategy. Sessions may include reflection exercises, career strategy planning, confidence building, and practical tools to help you move forward.

Do you work with clients outside Melbourne?

Yes. While I’m based in Melbourne, I work with clients across Australia and internationally via virtual coaching sessions.

Can career coaching help with confidence at work?

Yes. Many professionals experience dips in confidence during career transitions or leadership changes. Career coaching can help rebuild confidence by clarifying your strengths, reframing limiting beliefs, and strengthening your professional identity.

How do I figure out what my next career move should be?

The first step is gaining career clarity. This involves understanding your strengths, values, and the type of work that energises you. Once you have clarity, you can begin designing a strategic plan for your next career move.

Hear from my clients:

"Meg helped me design my leadership signature."

Before working with Meg, I felt completely stalled, unsure how to position myself after a long corporate career, second-guessing my next move, and getting nowhere with outreach. I knew I had skills and experience, but no real clarity or momentum.

I reframed my career gap with confidence, focusing on family, realignment, and upskilling instead of self-doubt.

Meg's blend of strategy, mindset shifts, and practical scripts made everything feel easier and more effective.

"Meg helped me design my leadership signature."

“When I transitioned into my new role as Managing Director, Meg helped me get crystal clear on the personal brand I wanted to take with me - the kind of leader I wanted to show up as, and the habits I was ready to leave behind.

Designing my unique, values-based leadership signature gave me the confidence and authenticity to lead from day one.

Thank you, Meg.”

“I’d been settling for average roles for years. Working with Meg changed everything. She helped me uncover what truly mattered at this stage of my career and guided me through the process of landing my dream role - after years of self-doubt.

Her NLP approach helped me rebuild trust in myself and step forward with genuine confidence. I can’t recommend her enough.”

"Meg unleashed my confidence."

In just a few weeks I went from feeling stuck to booking networking coffees, pitching with confidence, and even receiving a contract offer mid-session.

I now have targeted conversations in play and short-term work on my own terms.

What I love most is how practical Meg is - her warmth, commercial savvy and straight-talking advice have helped me move forward with purpose, not pressure."
