Career Coaching for Career Change

FULFIL Career Change Programme

If work is draining your energy, eroding your confidence, or leaving you feeling stuck, unhappy or deeply miserable, you don’t have to work this out on your own.

FULFIL is a structured, psychologically grounded career change programme for experienced professionals who want a clear, supported way forward into work that fits them better.

Not a quick fix.
Not a dramatic leap.
But a calm, thoughtful process that helps you move out of survival mode and towards work that feels right.

“I can’t keep doing this… but I don’t know what else to do.”

If work is draining your energy or confidence

If you’re here, work may be taking more from you than it gives. You might feel flat, anxious or exhausted in a role that no longer inspires you — even if, on paper, everything looks “fine”.

You may sense that something needs to change, but feel unsure how to move forward safely.

You might recognise yourself in one or more of these:

• You wake up already tired at the thought of work

• Your job leaves you feeling anxious, flat or deeply unfulfilled

• You feel stuck by money, responsibility or expectations

• You worry that changing career now feels risky or unrealistic

• You’re facing uncertainty or organisational change and are unsure what comes next

• You feel torn between the security you have and the fulfilment you want

You’re not failing — you’re responding to a situation that no longer fits who you are.

FULFIL exists for this moment.

Why this programme exists

Most people who come to FULFIL are capable, conscientious professionals.

They aren’t lazy, unmotivated or failing.

They’re simply in roles that no longer fit who they’ve become.

Over time, that misalignment shows up as:

• dread or disengagement

• anxiety or low mood

• erosion of confidence

• resentment or burnout

• a constant sense of “this isn’t me anymore”

FULFIL™ is built on a simple but powerful idea:

When you understand yourself properly — your abilities, values, motivations and constraints — career clarity becomes far less overwhelming and far more achievable.

This programme gives you the structure, insight and expert support to move forward with confidence, rather than staying stuck or making rushed decisions.

Who FULFIL is for (and who it’s not)

This programme is for you if:

• you’re an experienced professional or executive

• you feel stuck, unhappy or deeply unfulfilled at work

• you want clarity before making big changes

• you value psychological insight and structured support

• you want work that fits your life, not consumes it

It’s not for you if:

• you want a quick job-matching service

• you’re looking for motivation without reflection

• you want someone to tell you exactly what to do

• you’re not ready to engage honestly in the process

This clarity helps the right people say yes — and the wrong people opt out.

What becomes possible after FULFIL™

Imagine:

• no longer dreading the working week

• feeling calmer because you can see a way forward

• understanding why certain roles drained you

• having language for your strengths and needs

• knowing what you’re moving towards, not just away from

• feeling more like yourself again

FULFIL doesn’t promise instant happiness.
It creates clarity, self-trust and momentum — so work stops draining the life out of you.

A key differentiator: the Highlands Ability Battery (HAB)

Included in FULFIL™ Plus and FULFIL™ Complete

Most career change programmes focus on interests, personality or values alone. While these matter, they don’t explain

how you naturally think, learn and solve problems — and that’s often where career clarity breaks down.

The Highlands Ability Battery (HAB) fills that gap.

Developed in the US and grounded in over 50 years of cognitive and occupational research, the HAB is a robust, research-backed assessment that identifies your natural abilities — the ways your brain is wired to work most effectively.

These abilities are:

• stable over time

• independent of confidence or experience

• often invisible to you, because they feel effortless

This is not a personality test, and it doesn’t measure interests or skills you’ve learned.
It reveals how you are naturally built to work.

Why this matters for career change

Many people change roles only to feel dissatisfied again — not because they chose “the wrong job”, but because the role doesn’t suit how they naturally operate.

The HAB helps prevent this by giving you objective insight into:

• how you process information and solve problems

• the pace and complexity of work you thrive in

• the environments where you’re likely to feel energised (or drained)

• the types of roles and tasks that genuinely fit you

• why some jobs felt easy and others exhausting — even when you were good at them

For many clients, this is the moment where things finally make sense.

What you receive as part of FULFIL™

As part of the programme, you’ll receive:

• the full Highlands Ability Battery assessment

• two detailed, personalised reports

• a 1.5-hour expert feedback session with me

During the feedback session, we translate your results into real-world insight by:

• linking your abilities directly to career paths and roles

• identifying environments and ways of working that suit you best

• highlighting potential blind spots or mismatch risks

• integrating your HAB results with your values, motivations and experience

This ensures your career decisions are grounded not just in hope or preference — but in evidence.

The impact clients often describe

People often tell me that the HAB:

• gives them language for things they’ve always felt but couldn’t explain

• validates why certain roles drained them, even when they were “successful”

• restores confidence by showing strengths they’d been underusing

• narrows options in a way that feels relieving, not limiting

• helps them make decisions they trust — and stick with

It becomes a foundation for confident, sustainable career change.

A note on AI, privacy and choice

One stage of FULFIL™ uses an optional AI-supported tool to bring together insights from your assessments and generate potential career ideas. This step relies on pattern recognition and does not require personal or identifying information.

All other parts of the programme offer non-AI alternatives, and you can complete FULFIL™ entirely without using AI if you prefer.

AI supports insight — it never replaces judgement or coaching.

If you’re on the fence

You just need to know that what you’re doing now isn’t sustainable — and that you want support finding something better.

FULFIL™ gives you a structured, compassionate place to begin.
