Why me?

Vicki Marinker candid career coach

📌 I know what hiring managers are looking for. I am a career coach with 23 years’ comms recruitment experience.

📌 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’ve been bullied, bored and burnt out. I was overlooked for promotion during maternity leave, and finally left to start my own business.

📌 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’m a LinkedIn Top Voice for Careers and Job Search. I built my coaching business through LinkedIn without being icky. My mission is to ‘pay it forward’. I can help you raise your visibility the same way.

“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.”

Still have questions?

Do you provide refunds?

I do not offer refunds, to ensure that clients are fully committed to the coaching process.

Can you guarantee success?

There is no magic pill. If you follow the guidance provided, complete the homework and make the most of our coaching sessions, you will have all the tools and techniques you need to reach your goals. But I can’t do the work for you.

How long is the programme?

We will have eight hour-long sessions of coaching. Most clients complete the programme within four months. I recommend fortnightly calls to give you a chance to think, process and take action between sessions.

What are your credentials?

I am an ICF ACC (Associate Certified Coach), a CTI (Co-Active Institute) trained coach, and a Licenced Firework Career Coach. I started my career in PR, followed by 23 years in PR & comms recruitment. I have over 400 hours of one-to-one and group coaching experience, and am a LinkedIn trainer and Top Voice for Careers & Job Search.
