...are you ready for your plot twist?
New In Person Workshops - Career Change for Parents 2nd Dec in Wendover CLICK HERE
I'm Miranda and I coach Millennials who want to change career and make an educated, purposeful and empowered decision as to what to do next. I offer online and in-person sessions in Berkhamstead.
As well as being a certified coach, I'm also a professional actor, so I know a thing or two about plot twists, so I'd love to help you find yours.
I also offer practical life coaching to achieve clarity and a plan to overcome your obstacles, plus I specialise in helping creative people actually finish their projects - see more below.
Are you Wondering, 'Where Next?', 'What Next?', 'There Must be More?'
Is your job making you bored and unfulfilled? Are you feeling unempowered and that you didn't actively make the choices that got you to this point? Maybe parenthood - or just life! - has changed you and therefore your needs have evolved too? Is it not challenging you anymore? Or alternatively it's too challenging and you crave some work/life balance?
However, external pressures and life obligations mean that you can't just make a knee-jerk reaction and walk away in most cases -
I can help you navigate this period with solution based, practical coaching so you make an educated action plan that suits you and your family whilst feeling purposeful and authentically you.
Career Change Coaching is not an advice service, nor is it counselling, but a tried and tested structured course of exercises and experiments created by industry specialists though the world-reknowned 'Firework' programme to lead you to the career that will fit with your values, strengths and needs.
If you find out during the process that the job wasn't actually the problem, then you are in safe hands as I'm also a certified Life Coach.
Life Coaching can still cover 'career' as a topic but can also take on any aspect of your life. These are goal orientated sessions where we get clear on a specific aim; look at what has worked in the past/your tendencies; expand your thinking to all the possibilities of how to tackle it and create a strategy with a deadline. My speciality is helping people finish projects such as novels, screenplays etc.
"Before starting I felt very lost and stuck. I felt unable to move in any direction...Miranda helped me to do what I said I wanted to do, but never did!”
Actor/Singer
"Miranda's...warm, enthusiastic nature has had an important impact on my creative self-confidence.”
Dancer, Personal Trainer & Business Owner
"She helped me to search for the answers within myself, and then helped me to plan how to actually make the changes that I wanted to achieve."
Soprano, ROH
A performer who wanted to train to be an events co-ordinator but fear was holding her back and keeping her ‘busy’ with unimportant tasks. (She trained!)
A mum who wanted to retrain as a health coach but couldn’t seem to find the time around the school run. (She did it!)
A busy teacher who found time for everyone but herself and her own health. (Not only did she improve her health but it also improved her fertility and she now has a baby girl and the job of her dreams).
A comedian who needed to finish writing his show for the Edinburgh Fringe but was juggling two jobs and a toddler. (He went on to gain a 4 star review and was part of the prestigious 'Pick of the Fringe'!)
An opera singer on a sabbatical trying to find a love of running (she’s recently completed her first marathon AND worked at the Royal Opera House).
A writer who just couldn’t find the energy to send her book out to agents. (She self- published!)
A creative who had just been through a messy divorce and needed to find a job in a whole new city. (She's got a job and a new man!)
A screenwriter who needed to get three different treatments in on time but was struggling to juggle it with the demands of her day job. (She got a schedule, a plan and got the job done).
Invest in yourself, your dreams and well-being - give yourself the time to chat with me for an hour or a series of sessions to get you moving forward.
As a professional actor myself, I understand how hard it can be when you are questioning your place in the industry. I run group career coaching for those who have fallen out of love with the industry and need to find out what to do next OR need to invest time into finding a more sustainable 'day job'.
I would recommend 121 sessions for maximum results and a bespoke service but group coaching can be more affordable for those when finances are part of the reason you want to leave the industry, plus you gain the empathy and comradery of others in a similar position.
I have also coaching creatives to finish projects such as stage shows, cabarets, novels and career support.
