You’ve worked hard to get here

What’s next requires strategic thinking

Work is taking over your life

Increasing demands and expectations are taking all your time and energy, with your loved ones getting what’s left.

Your career has stalled

Despite working harder, delivering results and making personal sacrifices, you’re not getting the recognition, progression or opportunities you want.

You feel trapped by the success you’ve created

You want to make a change, but feel stuck by the success you’ve worked so hard to build for you and your loved ones.

You’re reconsidering your future

Reorganisation, changing expectations or uncertainty about what’s next have prompted you to think more strategically about your career, the options and leverage you have.

What’s your next level of success?

✓ Take back control of your time

Have more time and energy for yourself, your loved ones and the things you enjoy.

✓ Reach the next level

Position yourself for the promotion, opportunities and rewards you’ve worked so hard for.

✓ Enjoy your work again

Rediscover the satisfaction and fulfilment that made your career worthwhile.

✓ Create what’s next

Reshape your current role or take a different direction without throwing away everything you’ve worked hard to build.

Understand your options and make choices about your career and life on your own terms.

Hi, I’m Nicholas Foster. I’ve spent 25 years working in banking and technology, progressing from software developer to Global Senior Director at Credit Suisse.

I’ve led global organisations of around 300 people, delivered major transformation programmes and worked across Credit Suisse, UBS and MUFG. I’ve also been involved in senior promotion and evaluation processes.

Today, I combine that experience with eight years of professional coaching to help technology leaders build successful careers on their own terms.

As your coach and independent thinking partner, I bring practical executive experience, an outside perspective and constructive challenge to help you think strategically, explore your options and take action towards what you want to achieve.

Personally the year has been a huge success, ending with a promotion that I had been targeting.

The feedback from management as part of the promotion process highlighted my leadership skills which was the key area on which Nick and I worked.
