Road to Brighton

Let me start by asking you:

• Do you know what you want from your career, your professional or personal life?

• Are you facing a particular challenge that you need to think through?

• Maybe there’s a choice to make, seemingly insignificant, but important to you?

• Or perhaps you’re stuck? Too many hills to climb, or obstacles blocking your way?

• Feeling a bit ‘meh’ about your life, something’s missing, you’re lacking direction?

Throughout our lives, both personal and professional, we all face choices and challenges. When working with individual and corporate clients alike, I call this The Road To Brighton.

The Road to Brighton

Life’s a journey. You can be cruising along enjoying the sunshine and the scenery or speeding too fast to notice. Warning lights flash. There’s a roadblock ahead. You’re forced to slow down. Or stop.

Suddenly, you’re stuck at the road works waiting for the lights to change. You wonder whether to turn around, and go back the way you came, or look for a side road – but you’re not sure where it will take you. You’re frustrated because you can’t move forward and get on the way to your destination.

In personal and business life, the best laid plans can change. The unexpected happens.

And, like the Road to Brighton, the way forward is not always the most direct or obvious one.

When you meet a barrier, or a ‘road closed’ sign you might need to think about what alternative direction to take. And in doing so, you may discover all sorts of interesting places to stop and stay for a while. You may even decide you don’t need or want to go to Brighton at all!

What’s important is that you’re moving towards where you want to be, wherever that eventually is. Or that you find somewhere that you like and want to settle.

And that’s where I can help.

How to Navigate the Road to Brighton

When setting off on a journey, I believe that it’s more important to have a compass than a detailed map. You need to know the general direction of travel, but not necessarily the precise route. 

Whether you’re at a roadblock, a crossroads, or the wheel has come off in your personal or professional life, I can help; to be your thinking partner, listening without telling, asking questions, showing you new approaches, and through my attention, expertise and experience to help you make conscious choices about who you are, what you want, where you want to go, and how to get there.

Or just to learn to be OK, and happy, with who and where you are right now.
