Ready to get unstuck?
For mid-career professionals who know they need a change
– but not sure how to make it happen.
If not now, when?
Is this you?
You’ve reached the “mid-career milestone.” On paper, you’ve made it. You have the title, the salary, and the responsibility. But internally, something is missing.
- The Sunday Dread: That heavy feeling in your chest that starts at 4 PM every Sunday.
- The Golden Handcuffs: You want to leave, but the fear of not being able to provide for your family keeps you stuck.
- The Invisible Ceiling: You’ve worked in the same field for so long that you can’t see how your skills translate anywhere else.
- The “Is This It?” Factor: You’re high-performing, but you’re running on empty, giving 110% to a role that doesn’t give anything back.
You’re not stuck in a mid-life crisis. You just need a mid-career pivot.
Introducing The Career Alignment Blueprint
1. Discover
Know who you are and what you’re built for
Before you can find the right career move, you need to understand yourself—your natural strengths, your transferable value, and the patterns keeping you stuck.
- Uncover your wiring through DISC and StrengthsFinder profiling
- Translate your experience into transferable skills that work across industries
- Identify what’s worked, what hasn’t, and why—so you don’t repeat past mistakes
2. Position
Package yourself for the career you want
Clarity without visibility is wasted. Once you feel more aligned and strong in who you are, we’ll help package you for the opportunities you want—even if you know no one in your target industry yet.
- Craft your career change story that explains your pivot confidently
- Optimise your CV, LinkedIn profile, and professional presence
- Build strategic relationships that open doors (in a way that feels authentic, not salesy)
3. Drive
Build your roadmap and make it happen now
Vision and positioning mean nothing without action. This phase creates your personalised roadmap and the accountability to ensure you don’t give up when it gets hard.
- Create your 1-5 year career vision (even if you’re not 100% sure what you want yet)
- Address the practical stuff: finances, timing, family, risk
- Build momentum systems that keep you moving forward consistently.
How do I know if career coaching will work for me?
My focus is to help you map out a career and life plan that makes sense for you now. Since 2013, my coaching programs and step-by-step process have helped professionals across lots of different industries find work that actually fits.
What some of my career coaching clients have achieved after working with me…
I have loved working with Emmy, and can really recommend her to anyone who is looking to make a career change. I came to her at a time when I wasn’t getting a lot of fulfilment from my role, but was unable to articulate why I was struggling, and therefore didn’t know what I needed to change.
Emmy really supported me to understand my strengths and values, and to see how I can use them within both my work and home life.
As a result, I’ve both been able to get a new position which is playing better to my strengths and has given me back my energy. I have also been able to focus on the ‘what next’ question so I can prepare for the next step in my career – this coaching has given me direction that I’ve never had in the past.

I loved working with Emmy, her professionalism is second to none.
I came to her very confused about the next step in my career and somewhat stuck.
After a few sessions working with Emmy we put a plan together, and in much shorter time than expected an opportunity opened up for me.
Re-focusing my career and re-evaluating my values alongside Emmy opened up the next opportunity as we explored the why, the what and the how. I also love how is not about the short term but rather a long term view on your own career.

Hi, I’m Emmy
I’m Emmy, a mid-career and transition coach based in Australia. I don’t like to see valuable time and energy go to waste—which includes people spending months or years in a role or organisation that’s not right for them.
That’s why I’m SO passionate about helping mid-career professionals unlock what’s next in their career to truly enjoy and connect with the value they add. I also love working with organisations to help train and support their team members to lean into their strengths and work better together.
I’ve enjoyed a varied career of different roles myself and know first-hand how rewarding it is when you find the place that’s right for you.
Let’s find that place for you.
