David’s Story: A Bold Career Pivot
David’s Story: Leaving Corporate to Find Career Alignment
After 15 years in sales, David knew he needed a change. Coaching helped him navigate the uncertainty of career change and align his work with what really mattered.
The Challenge
David felt burnt out and unfulfilled, but afraid to leave the safety of a steady career. He didn’t know what else he could do — or whether it was “too late.”
“It felt like I’d built a career I didn’t recognise anymore.”
The Approach
Over 10 sessions, we focused on:
Clarifying core values and ideal work environment
Exploring new roles aligned with meaning and motivation
Building a strategic exit plan with financial and emotional support
The Transformation
David transitioned into a programme leadership role at a nonprofit
He felt energised, purposeful, and more authentic at work
His self-worth became less tied to job titles or pay grades
“For the first time in years, I feel proud of the work I do.”
What David Gained
Clarity and direction for a career change
Confidence to take action and trust the process
Emotional alignment between work and values
