Directioneering is the leading Australian owned career management firm and part of the Career Insight Group. We also partner globally with Career Partners Internationally to be able to support our clients internationally. At Directioneering we believe that every change is a chance to find new meaning in our careers and to continue them with renewed purpose. We don’t believe this to be a particularly comfortable process - quite the opposite. But we think it worthwhile - necessary, in fact, if we believe ourselves to be more than just any one title, one company or job.Nationally, we offer a personalised approach to career transition, talent and leadership development. We provide expert guidance and a sounding board to people we are helping prepare for a new role while also helping organisations manage risk and reputation.My role involves partnering with organisations to manage clients individual needs and partnering with individuals in both coaching and career transition support to get them ready to re-enter the job market.

Coaching executives through career transition. Whilst on a family related sabbatical from Directioneering in Sydney, I have been fortunate enough to be able to continue my coaching with our UK based Career Partners International company, Working Transitions. That’s the beauty of collaboration and global reach and a privilege to be able to work with those moving careers or dealing with new leadership issues. Everybody can use a little help when they are going through times of challenge and change.
