Before my session with Le’Siran, I knew I wanted to become more independent in my career, but I didn’t really know how to get there. I was unsure what my options were outside of local authority work and I didn’t fully recognise how many transferable skills and strengths I already had.
The session helped me bring those skills to the forefront, identify what I’m actually good at and explore realistic options that fit the kind of work and lifestyle I want. It made stepping outside of local authority work feel much less daunting than I had imagined.
Before the session, I would have rated my confidence about my next career steps as 5/10. Afterwards, I felt at 8/10 because I now know what I need to do next — there’s no longer the same level of guessing.
One of the most valuable things about coaching was having an independent perspective. Friends and family know you and want the best for you, but they may not always push you or ask the deeper questions. Le’Siran understands both social work and entrepreneurship, so she was able to challenge my thinking, help me name what I was feeling and pull out strengths and possibilities I hadn’t fully recognised myself.
I left feeling much more at ease. I now know I have options, I know how to start moving towards them, and I feel reassured that I’m on the right path and that it’s okay for me to take a step away from traditional local authority work.
My confidence in myself has definitely increased. The session gave me a roadmap for my career and helped me get to answers much quicker than I think I would have on my own.
I was recommended to Le’Siran by previous clients, and I can see why. The Career Coaching Intensive was a really positive experience — it helped pull the best out of me and gave me clarity, direction and practical next steps.
