In a post-Covid world your job, your career path and your future may be up for grabs – Take positive control of your situation.

Over the last 25 years I have helped thousands of our clients nationally and internationally manage all forms of career transition – from induction, through selection and promotion right through to pre-retirement planning in both the Public and Private Sectors.

You will discover what drives your career choices and what you have to offer. You’ll learn how to identify your transferable and marketable skills.

I have worked in positions of responsibility in both in the Public Service and the Private Sector – so I am familiar with the challenges that working in these sectors present.

In ‘Career Detection, Finding and Managing your career,’ Brian introduces us to his Career Detection model, a brilliantly effective process to guide us in working with clients wanting to find or manager their career. The book is filled with many great exercises to identify skills and expertise, find career drivers and learn how to research careers. Brian’s Book is an excellent resource for coaches and for anyone who wants to be their own career coach or detective. I highly recommend it.
