You’ve built a successful career.

But something isn’t working.

Common situations that have brought senior leaders to coaching.

Work was taking over their life

Increasing demands and expectations were taking all their time and energy, with their loved ones getting what was left. And that wasn’t enough.

Their career had stalled

Despite working harder, delivering results and making personal sacrifices, they weren’t getting the recognition, progression or opportunities they wanted. They felt frustrated that all their efforts weren’t getting them any closer to what they wanted.

They were trapped by the success they created

They wanted to make a change, but felt stuck by the success they worked so hard to build for them and their loved ones resulting in exhaustion, fear and isolation.

They were questioning their future

Reorganisation, cost-cutting, or other events outside their control left them feeling vulnerable, and worried about their future.

It can be different.

You’ve worked hard and made personal sacrifices to achieve the success you’ve created. But continued success doesn’t have to come at the expense of what matters most.

I’ve experienced this myself and seen it with my clients. It is possible to:

✓ Take back control of your time

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

✓ Enjoy your work again

Rediscover the satisfaction and fulfilment that made your career worthwhile.

✓ Create what’s next

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

✓ Feel confident about your future

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

I’m Nicholas Foster. I’ve been there too.

I’d built a successful career, reaching Global Senior Director at Credit Suisse. But reached a point where I wanted something else, but didn’t know what that was.

The thought of making a change felt terrifying. There was so much at stake for me and my loved ones.

At the same time, staying as I was had started to affect the things that mattered most to me.

Getting help from someone independent and confidential helped me see how I could make changes without throwing away everything I’d worked so hard to build.

I know how difficult that can feel. And I know things can be different.

Today, I combine 25 years of corporate technology experience with eight years of professional coaching to help senior leaders work through their own challenges and create the career and life they want.

I sought out Nick’s help after having some challenges balancing the needs of a demanding new role with responsibilities at home.

Nick has helped me take control of my situation, reasserting the power I have rather than feeling at the mercy of it.

Furthermore, I can see the impact this has had on my relationships with family and colleagues.

Nicholas first coached me when I needed to make a career change but felt trapped with no idea how or where to start.

He helped me to work out what those blockers were and although at times it was hard, I really appreciated how he steered me to find my own way forward and get to where I wanted to be.

If we are right for each other, I’ll walk you through how we will work together.

If we agree that working together would be valuable, we’ll decide how to move forward.

You’ve worked hard for your success. Now make it work for you.

You’ve worked hard to build the career and life you have today.

But you don’t have to keep working, leading or living in ways that no longer work for you.

Whether you want to regain control of your time, progress, enjoy your work again or explore a different direction, you can make meaningful changes without throwing away everything you’ve worked so hard to build.

Your future is still yours to shape.
