Nope. About 90% of my clients are employed - they just know they're not in the right place, or they can see the industry shifting and want to get ahead of it rather than react to it.

If you're happily settled and going nowhere, you probably don't need me. But if there's a persistent background hum of 'I should be doing something different' — that's worth paying attention to.

Great question. AI can help you write. It can't tell you where the market is actually heading, which employers are genuinely growing in your sector, which qualifications are credible and which are a waste of $3,000, or how your specific background positions you in your specific niche.

I use AI too - as a tool. The difference is I know what questions to ask it, and I know when its answer is wrong.

Absolutely not. In fact, some of the best sessions start with 'I have no idea.' That's a legitimate place to be, and it's more common than anyone admits.

What I do need: you to show up and be honest about where you're at. The clarity comes from the work, not before it.

I won't pretend I know your specific technical work in detail. I am STEM trained (Medical Scientist with a Biology/Psych Major) so I LOVE talking science.

What I do know, in genuine depth, is the labour market for STEM and green economy professionals in Australia. Where demand is growing, which skills are transferable and how to frame them, which employers are growing their teams, and which qualifications actually matter to those employers.

I've worked with engineers, scientists, energy professionals, and technically-trained people navigating the transition to sustainability roles. It's the work I'm most energised by.

And yes - I will understand your LinkedIn profile.

Ha. Fair scepticism.

It's priced low because I want it to be genuinely accessible — not because it's thin. It's a structured self-assessment covering the six most common reasons job searches fail, plus a video walkthrough of how to interpret your results and what to do about each one.

The goal is simple: stop spinning your wheels on the wrong problem. If it saves you two months of applying into the void, it's done its job.

And if it tells you the problem is bigger than a checklist can fix- there's a next step for that too.

Yes — this is almost exactly who it's for.

Three months of silence usually means one of three things: a positioning problem (you're not communicating your value clearly), a targeting problem (you're applying to the wrong roles or organisations), or an approach problem (you're relying only on advertised jobs, which is roughly 30% of the market).

We'll figure out which one it is in Session 1. Then we fix it.

I get it. The Career Design Series is three sessions because that's genuinely what it takes to build a complete strategy, but if you're further along and just need a sharp set of eyes on your approach, a one-off session can work.

Book a discovery call and tell me where you're at. We'll figure out the right fit from there.

Honestly…this is the most common thing I hear. And it's a real constraint, not an excuse.

The workshop is built around that reality. We're not adding a new thing to already-full plates. We're building the skill and the language to have shorter, better conversations more often - not long, formal development sessions once a year.

A good 10-minute career conversation, done regularly, is worth more than an annual review that everyone dreads.

You can. You'll get a long list of options with no clear way to evaluate them… what's accredited, what's credible in your specific industry, what employers actually recognise, what's genuinely worth the time and money versus what's a badge factory.

I know the Australian training landscape well- I’m Cert IV TAE and post graduate education qualified. I know the national VET register, the Jobs and Skills Councils, what's emerging in green economy and STEM training, and which providers are respected by which employers.

It's not magic. It's just knowing the right places to look and having the framework to evaluate what you find.

Direct, practical, and data-driven. I'm not going to ask you how that makes you feel.

I ask a lot of questions. I'll challenge your assumptions if they're getting in the way. I use real labour market data - not gut feel or generic advice and I'll tell you honestly if your plan needs rethinking.

People usually describe sessions as 'a lot to take in but really useful.' Which is exactly what I'm going for.
