Welcome to Coaching the Muse. My name is Jo and I'm passionate about helping people live a fulfilling and purposeful life trhough strategic career design. I support women over 40 with mid-life career change, secondary school students and their parents with career guidance, career planning for university & TAFE graduates, young adults with career direction, and designing work/life balance before and after retirement. I can help you discover exactly which type of career change is right for you, how to match your knowledge, skills, and passion with a career you love and most importantly, help you at every step so you get to live your dream career for real.
If you're in a job that feels like it's sucking the life out of you, I get it.I spent many years pursuing my passion of being a musician while working various unrelated day jobs to support myself. My time and energy always went to my job first leaving little for what I was most passionate about. My upbringing created my belief that a job was something to be endured not enjoyed. I believed a career was only a 'profesional job' or pathway to achieve better pay and status. I also believed that unless you got really lucky, having a job was incompatible with doing something inspiring and meaningful.
Fast forward to 2020 and life is a different story. After experiencing 3 job redundancies in 12 months (yep three!) I enrolled in a university program for the first time. Pursuing study areas I love, I have finally found a career path that I'm truly excited about. Through this process I have acquired many years of real world experience as well as an academic level of career theories and psychological theories that I can draw on to support others. This is why I'm condident that I can help you no matter where you are on your unique career journey.
I believe that life is too short to waste on an unfulling career or jumping from one uninspiring job to the next. Whatever your age, education, or background, you deserve a career that makes you feel alive and on purpose. If you resonate with this, you're in the right place, Join me on my social platforms so I can support you on your career journey.
