When training as an end of life companion doula I discovered that "end of life" is not limited to mortal death and dying, but can be applied to a wide spectrum of life's endings and beginnings. I also realised that what my trends company - Flux Trends - has been doing for two decades is help businesses move through difficult transformational phases. As such, "the death of old ideas and the birth of the new" in business terms dovetails with "the end of life as you know it" in personal terms. In today’s rapidly changing world, understanding and navigating transitions have become essential for relevance and growth.

 

As a transition guide I can assist you with a range of life’s major transitions. Whether you’re launching a new venture, closing a business, relocating, pivoting in your career, or contemplating retirement, every transition holds the potential for profound growth and reinvention.

My Transition Guidance Services include:

​​

Rewirement – Changing a Career or Life Path

​

The quintessential “mid-life crisis” is not necessarily the one we all envisage in our heads. There are subtle dynamics at play that cause you to question your direction in life and your career trajectory.

The miss-alignment of the sector you launched your career in, with who you’ve become, is pivotal to this rewirement process. I will assess your personal development stage and merge it with disruptive trends that are reshaping industries, so that together, we can identify opportunities and contemplate new trajectories.

​

The rise of AI has introduced feelings of career uncertainty across sectors and across age groups.

Gen X, who are entering the pre-retirement phase of their lives, find themselves questioning the prospect, and worth, of up-skilling or re-skilling at this late stage of their careers.

Professionals in their 40’s are increasingly facing a slightly different dilemma. As the velocity of change intensifies, staying at the top of your game, at the peak of your career, is causing burnout and kick-starting an existential crisis. “Is it all worth it?” or “Am I really being fulfilled?” are the common questions that slip silently into the subconscious and stay there - like a pebble in your shoe.

Redefining Retirement or Navigating the Pre-Retirement Career Phase

​

Approaching retirement and feeling uncertain about identity, purpose or direction? You’re not alone.

Many senior executives, who have dedicated their lives to their careers, fear this transition more than death itself. A shift in mindset from "retirement" to "rewirement" is crucial.

​

Drawing inspiration from Ken Dychtwald’s “Life’s Third Age” and Dr. Riley Moynes’ Four Stages of Retirement, this transition coaching offering guides you through four transformative sessions:

● Freedom
● Loss
● Experimentation

● Reward

 

Sadly, not many people make it through to stage 4 as stage 2 is the most dangerous phase often characterised by deep depression. It can derail you but rewirement can help you sidestep it.

​

What’s different about my approach to transition coaching?

​

My transition guiding experience is a frank one-on-one conversation that encourages deep reflection on the undercurrents driving your transition.​ Now in my fourth career pivot (which required a rebranding of my media profile each time) I guide you from personal experience.

I explore stage-of-life dynamics as an undercurrent and then match those insights into an arsenal of future-focused trend knowledge which includes: the future of work, technological shifts reshaping sectors and the new career options that are only beginning to emerge.

​

My doula training puts a unique spin on traditional transition coaching. You’ll be supported in making a mindset shift: embracing what rewirement truly means - becoming attuned to the death of outdated perspectives and the birth of new possibilities.
My transition guiding process honours the emotional reality of change: acknowledging grief (in all its forms) and letting go of “the end of life as you know it”, and ultimately creating a blueprint for what’s next.
