Let's Work Together...
EARLY CAREERS

Not sure what comes next? I help ambitious graduates and early careers talent get clear, get confident, and get hired. Whether you're figuring out your direction, landing your first role, or preparing for an interview that matters, I'll help you move forward with practical, expert support, and someone in your corner who's been on the other side of hiring.

No more waiting for the ‘right time’ or second-guessing yourself.

Leaving education is the first time there’s no set path telling you what’s next, and that can feel daunting. Maybe you’re not sure what you want, maybe you’re applying and hearing nothing back, maybe an interview or assessment centre is looming. Wherever you’re at, you don’t have to work it out alone. With the right support, you’ll get clear on what you want and how to go after it, with confidence.

It’s time to stop second-guessing and start doing. I’ll help you untangle what’s been keeping you stuck, rebuild your confidence, and reconnect with what you actually want... so you can get out of your head and start making real progress.

How we'll work together...

Here’s where things start to shift. I work exclusively 1:1 with my clients because that’s where the real change happens – when you’ve got someone in your corner asking the right questions, keeping you accountable, and creating the space to talk things through, be challenged, and get honest about what’s working (and what’s not).

Together, we’ll get to the root of what’s keeping you stuck and build a plan that fits who you are now – one that’s strategic, motivating, and aligned with where you want to go next.

The mentor I once needed

My vision is simple: to help young people start their careers with clarity and confidence, instead of drifting or settling. Because the start of your working life shouldn’t feel like guesswork.

I’ve become the mentor I once needed… someone to guide, support, and cheerlead through the start of your career. With 30 years of experience and time spent on both sides of the hiring table, I know what hiring managers are looking for, how to spot a standout candidate in seconds, and how to rebuild confidence when it’s taken a knock.

There’s no one framework here, because no two career changes are the same. After 30 years of hiring, leading, and mentoring, I’ve built the tools for every version of stuck, and we use the right ones for you, at the right time. It’s the support I wish I’d had in the messy middle, and it comes in three ways, depending on where you are right now.

I combine corporate expertise, real-world experience, and practical strategy to help you gain clarity, create a plan that works, and take action with confidence. Whether you’re stepping into something new or building on what you’ve already achieved, I’ll guide and challenge you to make real progress – keeping things simple, focused, and enjoyable along the way.

The difference between thinking and doing, is... ACTION! You have a choice...

Stay where you are, stuck in indecision, waiting for clarity to magically appear.

Step forward, take action, and move towards the career you actually  want.

Your next chapter starts here.

You’ve done the thinking – now it’s time to take action on the career you really want.

Hello, I’m Leanne and I’m so happy you found me!

There’s no one-size-fits-all formula for success. Your business and career are unique – and your strategy should be too.

With 30 years of global corporate experience in senior strategic roles, I’ve led major programmes, developed high-performing teams, and hired at every level. I’ve also built two successful businesses from the ground up, so I know exactly what it takes to turn big ideas into real results… and how messy, exciting, and rewarding that process can be.

Now, I use that experience to help ambitious professionals and business owners create a business or career they truly love, on their terms. Whether you’re scaling, pivoting, launching something new, or navigating change, I’ll help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a plan that works.

As an Accredited Business Strategist and proud member of the Association of British Mentors, I bring together strategic expertise, real-world hiring insight, and straight-talking support to help you achieve results that last.

Because success isn’t just about planning – it’s about execution. And when you have the right strategy and support, you’re not just building a business or career… you’re creating a life you’re excited to wake up to.
