“Having spent a few months working with Vicki, I can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s brought a brilliant mix of wise thoughtful challenge to her coaching, alongside being really generous and supportive and I’ve really valued this as she has guided me through some precious time to reflect on my career next steps. Her combination of time for reflection and insight, and then some really super helpful practical advice and guidance makes Vicki the perfect coach. I have so valued our coaching relationship and really struck gold when I signed up with Vicki!”
Why me?
📌 I have experienced the comms industry from all angles – as a consultant, a candidate, a hiring manager, a recruiter and now a coach. I can help you see your challenges from a different perspective.
📌 I’ve been bullied, bored and burnt out. I was overlooked for promotion during maternity leave, and finally left to start my own business.
📌 I started my career in PR and have a strong communications network. I have been in your shoes, and I speak your language.
📌 I know what it’s like to be a candidate in the communications industry. I found the experience so challenging, I became a recruiter to see if I could do it better!
📌 I know what hiring managers are looking for. I am a career coach with 23 years’ comms recruitment experience.
📌 I’m a LinkedIn Top Voice for Careers and Job Search. I built my coaching business through LinkedIn without the cringe. My mission is to ‘pay it forward’. I can help you raise your visibility the same way.
Now I use everything I’ve learned to help brilliant-but-stuck professionals like you move forward with clarity and confidence.
“Vicki is quite simply brilliant. She has a way of seeing you better than you can see yourself, of helping you find the confidence to take the next step, and creating a space where you can explore the good and the bad. She helped me unlock a level of bravery I never expected, and to get to the heart of what I love. I will be eternally grateful to her. And I know any client will find her support on their journey invaluable.”

🧭 It is your decision what you would like coaching on each week. We can take as many squiggles as you like
Also, we’ll have fun!
“Working with Vicki on my career development has been a transformative experience for me. I came into the coaching with loads of experience, positivity and energy but no clear career goals or guidance to move me forward. I’ve gained enormous value from every session and now have the knowledge and tools to help me find my next IC adventure. Oh, the homework was great fun too. I’d highly recommend working with Vicki. She’s awesome.”
