New Direction
A 3-month 1:1 experience for professionals at a meaningful crossroads, ready to discover and create their path forward
When something significant is changing in your work and life, it deserves thoughtful space not a rushed decision.
New Direction is a structured 1:1 coaching experience for accomplished professionals experiencing a transition in identity, purpose or direction. Together, we clarify what is ending, recognise what is emerging, and shape next steps that are grounded, deliberate and true to you.
“Amanda is an extraordinary coach and she helped me to navigate through feelings of uncertainty and confusion, allowing me to crystallize my thoughts and feelings and focus on what I truly wanted for the next 1, 3 and 5 years.”
Dr Julia Boyle, Senior Director, GSK
This Is For You If…
- An important aspect of your work and life has changed, by choice or circumstance, and you need to decide what comes next
- The old answers no longer fit, even though you’re not yet sure what the new ones are
- You have several possible directions and want to distinguish what you could do from what you genuinely want
- You don’t want to default to the familiar simply because it feels safer or more obvious
- You want to make a clear, considered choice that reflects who you are now and what matters to you
What You’ll Gain
When you’re in a transitional season, it’s tempting to push for clarity. What I’ve learned is clarity comes with more ease when you relax and make space.
Here’s what tends to unfold when we explore your next chapter with depth and discernment.
Clarity on What Matters Now
Get beneath the noise and competing possibilities so that you can understand what you really want, what matters now, and what needs to shape your decision.
Greater Discernment
See your choices more clearly and test assumptions so that you can distinguish between what you could do and what feels genuinely right for you.
Confidence in Your Choice
Arrive at a decision you can stand behind, grounded in who you are now rather than expectations, habit or pressure.
Support at Your Level
A trusted thinking partner who understands senior-level responsibility and complexity, and can hold space for deeper questions of purpose, identity, contribution and direction.
Anchors You Can Rely On
Simple, powerful practices to help you stay grounded, listen to yourself and make thoughtful choices when the way ahead isn’t immediately clear.
Most of all, you’ll leave with greater clarity about what you want and the confidence to make a choice that feels genuinely yours.
What We Explore
Every transition is different, but often includes:
- Purpose, values, and direction at this stage of your life and work
- Clarity around inner signals and desires
- Listening with your whole self, not only your thinking
- Letting go, completion, and emotional integration
- Working with the IRON™ capacities for transition – grounding in what matters, recognising what’s emerging, opening beyond resistance, and enjoying new momentum
How It Works
- 90-minute Orientation Session to take stock of where you are, what is changing and the focus of our work together
- 5 × 60-minute New Direction Sessions, paced over the three months to allow space for reflection, exploration and new possibilities to emerge
- Your Capacity for Transition Scorecard to illuminate what may support or hinder you as you navigate this crossroads
- Tailored reflections and experiments between sessions to help you explore possibilities rather than rush towards an answer
- Relevant tools and frameworks to deepen discernment and test your thinking
- Email support for questions and reflections between sessions
Made it possible for me to make decisions about new directions with confidence and ease
I worked with Amanda at a time of life and career transition. I was astonished by the clarity, insight and resolution that I was able to arrive at on the programme, and in the time that followed.
Amanda is an extraordinarily skilled coach, experienced facilitator and guide. Her compassion, humour and practicality made it possible for me to make decisions about new directions with confidence and ease.
