Career Coaching
Everyone deserves a rewarding career. My coaching facilitates the process of you navigating yourself, as you navigate your career, it is about “you carving out a career to fit you”, versus “you fitting yourself into a career”. We will work together to develop your confidence and set worthwhile goals that you will take steps to achieve. This may include:
- Find a career you love that is aligned with your values
- Feeling more connected to your purpose
- Earning a promotion
- Excelling at job interviews and getting that job offer
- Being more confident in meetings
- Delivering presentations powerfully
- Navigating through politics at workplace
- Reducing stress and anxiety levels
- Achieving better work-life balance
“Your career should be a flowing river, not a stagnant pond”
Achieving your career goals can lead to positive changes in all aspects of your life. Career coaching empowers you to take charge of your career and achieve the success you desire.

Navigating through politics at work
Many of my clients in the corporate arena struggle with what is unseen, the what goes on in the background, behind your back- the politics, competition, gossiping, game playing, bullying, self-serving colleagues and culture of fear. Research has found that over 50% of employees say they engage, at least somewhat, in office politics, with most of those doing so to advance their careers. The study found that 75% of office workers believe that office politics affect their efforts to get ahead in their career, this causes unhealthy stress. It has risen to epidemic proportions and it is becoming more of a problem as the job market gets ever more competitive and leaders create high expectations, that are difficult to meet during the average working day, especially when many people have stakeholders and clients in different time zones. People create painful stories about how well their colleagues are doing, and how they need to ‘up their game’ to stay in favour. This is exacerbated by team mates boasting about how well they are doing, how much they enjoy the work, what a big work-load they have and how well they are delivering on it.
The impact of all this threads throughout teams and departments; there is very little support for employees and even less for leaders. My clients share stories of depression, anxiety and burnout. I work closely with them to see that it is their own limiting beliefs that create much of what they are fighting, and we work to reprogramme and empower a new way of being that allows them to move forward. During your coaching with me, you will be able to speak freely about what pulls you down, what stresses you out and what stops you from fully expressing yourself in the work place. We will navigate the office politics that so many people are worn down by, but have to keep pushing through or riding it out. I will give you tools to help you combat this challenging, all too common, problem.
Career Transition Coaching
Most people experience career transition at some point of their career journey. The term career transition may refer to the process by which an individual changes from one role to another within the same or to a different company; and it may also refer to a more dramatic career change from one occupational category to an entirely different one. Many people are unhappy in their career for various reasons, they consider career transition with the hope that it will change their current reality and be happier in what they do in a new environment.
The coaching facilitates the process of you navigating yourself, as you navigate your career, it is about you carving out a career to fit you, versus you fitting yourself into a career. The base line of career transition coaching is addressing and transforming your limiting beliefs. I work with my clients in finding a way forward by addressing their limiting beliefs that stop them from achieving fulfillment in the career they say they want. Without this essential foundation (addressing your limiting beliefs), you will move from one job to another, one role to another, one country to another. All that will change is your job, role or country, you will still repeat the same patterns driven by your limiting beliefs and get the same results.
Every change in life is situational, every transition is psychological. All transitions begin with an ending, this takes time to deal with.
“Wanderer, there is no path, the path is made by walking. By walking one makes the path, and upon glancing behind one sees the track that never will be trod again.”
~Antonio Machado (Poet)
The Distinction between Career Coaching and Career Mentoring
Some people prefer to work with coaches who have the same career background or experience, for example those who used to be in the IT field or are experienced at setting up a business, before becoming a coach. Coaches who only work with clients based on their career background or business experience can only serve you as a mentor; someone who can tell you exactly what to do, like how to write your CV, and who to approach or network to open doors and opportunities. They can only mentor you based on their career background because they have experienced the same situation, or have done the same thing themselves with success. They are not able to work with you psychologically and at depth, or address your limiting beliefs that stop you from achieving your fullest career potential. There is a place for career or business mentorship but make sure you know what you are looking for before approaching a career coach or a career mentor. Coaching is all about context and you are the one who brings the context. So, you come to coaching with the ‘context’ career or business coaching but a good coach will take you on a journey that develops you as a whole, and as a result you will be able to create a vision and live into a purpose that will impact your career/business and the choices you make. So make sure you get clear on your context and be prepared to transform your career if you want to engage with me as your career coach in Singapore.
Consider the following questions:
- Do you love going to work?
- Do you think you’ve reached your full potential?
- Are you appropriately compensated for the job you do?
- Do you hope there is something better for you out there?
- Is your job in alignment with your values?
Based on your answers to the questions above, could your career be more rewarding? Could you be more confident about your future? If you said “yes” then you are ready to begin your career coaching (Singapore).

“For as long as I remember, I thought of myself as not being good enough and considering myself a failure. Because of my work with Graham, I also understood, and embraced, that I am a compassionate being.. For all these years I thought of it as a weakness, I now understand it is my biggest strength! Leveraging on this new understanding of myself, I was able to secure a promotion in a matter of months, something that had been eluding me for some time. Because of my work with Graham, I understood that my boss’ lack of trust in myself, and everybody else, was not because of something I did, or did not, do! Graham’s coaching enabled me to summon the courage to change position within the organisation as soon as possible, and my quality of life immediately improved. This is just the tip of my coaching iceberg. Because of my work with Graham, I was able to connect with myself in ways I did not know was possible. I was able to understand my values and what I stand for. This significantly helped me better map my life’s expedition. I awoke to something more than I ever thought possible, it was a true breakthrough for me.” ~DP, Director, BNP Paribas, Singapore

“In June 2025 many aspects of my life hit multiple lows; I was lost in my career, I was struggling in my personal life and I could not see a way out for myself…out of this low point. Because of a prior experience that was negative, I was sceptical and cautious initially about considering coaching as an option for me to aid in my issues. However, I am very glad I managed to find Graham online through a Google search, and after an initial introduction call and getting the first session going, I knew I made the right choice.
On top of being a delightful person, Graham had tremendous empathy and sensitivity to my needs, and astutely yet gently identified facets of my actions and reactions that were not serving me. Over the course of 12 sessions, he has given me a clear framework on the work I can do for myself, with tools from the minute to the big picture that are actionable and applicable to many situations in my life. With these tools, I have become much more aware of myself – my ‘true self’ vs my ‘false self’, when I react vs when I respond, my values.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of what Graham will impart to you in what will be, like it was for me, a transformative experience. By month 6 of coaching, I had a clearer direction of what I wanted to do in my career. I had done the work on myself to improve on aspects of my personal life and was happier. Looking back on where I was when I first started coaching in June, I can say that I have well and truly transformed. You will have to do the work though, Graham is there fully for you, and will guide you expertly along the way, but it is on you to take the work on, trust it and you will get out of it as much as you put in it.
This work also extends way beyond however many sessions you would choose to do with Graham, and that is the wonderful part of it too. I remember asking Graham in the first session to give me a slap for me to wake up – he did, firmly yet delicately, and I will be taking what I have learnt, and worked on, into my journey going forward. If you are reading this it means you are thinking of taking action in making a change for yourself too. Do try Graham, he is the right place to start.”
