You don’t hate your job, but you don’t love it either, and you can't help but think "there must be more to life than this".
You feel frustrated to have to pour time and energy into something you don't feel passionate about.
You feel exhausted and burnt out, and know you can't go on like this much longer. Your health (and maybe even personal relationships) are suffering, or have started to suffer, and that’s a real no-go for you.
What you need is less guesswork & more structure…
What if I said changing careers doesn’t have to be overwhelming and risky?
Does this sound like you?
but...
You’re lacking the clarity to know how to move your career forward and into a new direction.
I bet you already have some ideas (however vague), but you need more clarity and focus.
Your ideas are just ideas at the moment, and not tangible enough.
Perhaps you’ve already been trying to figure out how to make a living off these ideas, but you haven’t cracked the code yet - so to speak.
Or perhaps these ideas have just been pie in the sky ideas, and you now want to see if you can turn these into a career.
Well, then read on… I can help you.
Is that you?
feeling excited, motivated, and passionate about your work
knowing exactly what you want
confident in your next move
not feeling challenged or appreciated
having vague ideas
exhausted, stuck, & demotivated
To...
Go from
being in control & doing things that ‘move the needle’
overworked & overwhelmed

With Iris’ guidance and fresh perspective, it turned out a role I had ruled out was actually viable. As a result, I have a new focus and am excited about my future.
She really cares and goes on the journey with you. I can't thank or rave about her enough.”
Save yourself months (perhaps even years!) of trying to figure it out by following a tried and tested career change method.
Feel guided and supported as you confidently navigate through your career change with clarity and focus.
Take away the stress, frustration and struggle of changing careers, and give yourself the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you’re doing all the right things.
Let me help you gain clarity and focus, and move your career in a new direction using a research backed, tried and tested, method that’s helped thousands of people successfully change careers.
I once was in your shoes. I know what it’s like to be in a job or career that no longer feels right for you.
Fortunately I have been able to turn my career (and life!) around. I went from being tied to the office in London to having total freedom, and relocating with my husband and two sons to the beautiful Cape Winelands in South Africa.
From feeling uninspired, unchallenged, and unmotivated to feeling excited and passionate about the work I do. My work and career is getting the best out of me (in so many ways), and it’s aligned with how I want to live my life.
I know this is possible for you to, and I’m here to show you how to do it - but so much faster than I did it.
Because here’s the truth: it took me YEARS to move my career into a new direction, and feel established in it.
I was following the traditional career change methods, and I’ve since learnt that these methods are outdated and not very effective.
Sadly a lot of career coaches, career counsellors, and career change books still follow the traditional methods. These methods tend to overcomplicate the career change process, and as a result people feel stuck, lost and unable to move forward.
I now know that there’s a better way.
Hi, I’m Iris Smyth, an ex-corporate professional turned career transition coach.
