What is Effective Career Coaching?

Ever feel like your career is stuck in neutral? You’re pressing the accelerator, but all you’re getting is noise. That’s where career coaching services become more than just “nice to have”—they become the secret weapon you didn’t realise you needed.

At Karen Blake Coaching, we believe your career deserves better than guesswork. We help you unlock opportunities hiding in plain sight—whether you’re in Wales, the UK, or joining us online from across the world. But more importantly, we help you stop wasting precious time going nowhere.

Why Our Career Coaching Services Work (When Everything Else Feels Broken)

Personalised, Practical Support

You don’t need more generic advice. You need someone who can see the game you’re playing from the outside, spot the blind spots, and get you winning again.

Our career coaching services are designed to:

  • Reveal the shortcuts hiding in your own skillset.
  • Help you make braver, better career moves.
  • Keep you accountable (because “next week” becomes “never” without a little push).

Delivered online, in person, or via virtual sessions, we fit around your world. Flexible. Practical. Effective.

3 Career Coaching Services Secrets That Change Everything

1. Create Your Own Luck
Waiting for the perfect opportunity? You’ll be waiting forever. But by following your curiosity, meeting new people, and trying new things, you’re suddenly in the right place at the right time.

It’s called Planned Happenstance—the art of making luck look easy. And it works.

2. Stop Chasing the ‘Perfect’ Job
The dream job? Myth. What’s real is finding work that feels good now and keeps you growing. Our career coaching services help you ditch the pressure of “perfect” and focus on what’s right—because the best career decisions often aren’t permanent, they’re strategic.

3. Be a ‘Good Leaver’
Burning bridges feels satisfying for about five minutes. But your future self will thank you for leaving on good terms. Every exit is an entrance somewhere else—and we’ll make sure you handle it like a pro.

What is Planned Happenstance?

Invented by Professor John Krumboltz of Stanford University, Planned Happenstance is all about making the most of life’s unexpected twists. Instead of forcing your career into a rigid plan, you stay curious, keep building skills, and trust that opportunities are everywhere. (Spoiler: they are.)

Our career coaching services help you turn those surprises into strategies.

Why Put Off a Better Career?

Here’s the truth: people don’t hire career coaches because they’re weak. They hire us because they’re tired of wasting time. Every week you delay is a week of missed opportunities, staying stuck, or worse—watching someone else land the job you wanted.

Our career coaching services are designed to help you:

  • Move faster.
  • Dream bigger.
  • Get unstuck—before you get left behind.
