James Russell
Certified Career Coach, Diploma (Personal & Professional Performance Coaching)
With over 20 years of experience in corporate organisations, I specialise in helping mid-career professionals make bold, life-changing decisions to create a career and lifestyle that truly aligns with their values and aspirations. As a qualified Career and Wellbeing Coach, I work with individuals feeling trapped in unfulfilling jobs, struggling with burnout, or facing mental health challenges from the pressures of corporate life.
I understand the frustration of feeling stuck—caught between the comfort of a stable income and the desire for something more meaningful. My personal journey mirrors the struggles many of my clients face; after a successful career in communications and marketing across industries like banking, technology, and construction, I found myself at a crossroads. At age 40, I was battling anxiety, depression, and a deep sense of dissatisfaction. I knew it was time for a change—a shift towards work that not only paid the bills but also nourished my wellbeing and passion.
I believe our 40s are the perfect time to redefine success and shape the next chapter of our careers. It's a time to thrive, not just survive, and to pursue the life you truly want. Whether you're looking to make a career pivot, find balance, or simply rekindle your enthusiasm for work, I am here to guide you through this transformative process.
Together, we will identify your strengths, break down barriers, and develop a clear action plan that empowers you to take control of your future. If my story resonates with you, let's work together to make your lasting change a reality.
