If you’re at a crossroads – redundancy, retirement, return from maternity leave, then this is a good time to take a look at your strengths and see how you can use them to point you in a positive direction, as happened with Laura Hall, Director of Communications at Kid & Coe.

“I felt stuck in a rut when I returned to work after having a baby. Miriam was a fantastic sounding board – very knowledgeable about my field and full of ideas and inspiration. She suggested a number of avenues that I followed up, and some role models for the alternative type of career path I was looking for. Miriam helped me realise that finding a new path would take time and helped me have the confidence to play a longer game by helping me realise my strengths and abilities. Her warmth and personality made me feel comfortable and confident and crucially, listened to. It’s taken time but I’m now in my perfect job and she played no small part in it.”
