Ready to embark on an extraordinary
journey with Peak to Peak ?
Whether navigating career change, exploring personal growth, or locating your 'towel', I am here to guide you. Connect with me, Gordon, and let's explore the galaxy together!
Navigating Career Peaks and Valleys
Most people’s careers and lives cycle between peaks of focused change activity interspersed by periods of relative calm.
Feeling truly professionally fulfilled is about more than status and position. Taking time to recognise the things that bring you satisfaction and sustained success - and understanding why - will heighten your sense of achievement.
Career Transition
and Self-Awareness
In my corporate career, I changed role, position or country every 6-24 months.
So I was continually transitioning, but only now do I realise that I hadn’t fully understood what made me successful, nor why I enjoyed troubleshooting problems, helping people succeed and building development programmes.
How much more fun might I have had if I had realised how I value: intellectual challenge, people contact and giving back?
Those things make me who I am, are my motivations, and so are woven into the self-image of my towel.
The Hitchhiker's Guide Wisdom
Drawing inspiration from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,
a real ‘frood’ knows where his towel is.
This wisdom applies universally, guiding individuals of all ages, careers and life stages.
Self-awareness of your motivations and natural talents will give you greater control through increased satisfaction, resilience and fulfilment outcomes from every transition of your career. This includes promotion, company change and even retirement.
How I Found My Towel
Through forty years in global corporates, I've coached, managed budgets and led start-ups. A 2017 redundancy reshaped my path.
At sixty, being coached to explore my core values —intellectual challenge, working with people and giving back — led me to coaching.
Qualifications from Henley Business School and the Physical Intelligence Institute fuel my ongoing exploration.
Themed around The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I help clients find their 'towel'.
Confident in my towel, I find fulfilment in coaching and giving back as a pro-bono coach and Liveryman.
On the fun side, my towel includes scuba diving, charity restructuring, nature photography, travel and personal experiences.
Navigating Careers, Finding Towels
“Gordon has coached and mentored me since 2006.
He has supported my career and personal development and coached me through several career transitions.
He is always available when I need support and I know I can call upon our strong trust relationship at any time.”
Kylie Rogers
Associate Director, Telecoms Sector
How We Work. What Ticks Your Boxes?
Peak to Peak coaching is all about
helping another person achieve their goals by working to understand personal values and awareness.
This can be when the immediacy of a career transition is the whole focus, or during the calm between peaks.
I aim to leave you feeling more confident and more committed to yourself by producing an increased will, self-determination and self-belief.
Towel Concept and Professional
Trust
In The Hitch Hikers Guide to the
Galaxy Ford Prefect is described as a ‘frood’ who really knows where his towel is.
The presence of a towel indicates a hitchhiker who knows where their things are and so can be trusted.
Working with me will help you to find your own towel and be the calm, confident professional that can be trusted at whatever stage of your career you are at.
Self-Awareness for Career and Life Fulfilment
Being able to articulate your natural talents, understanding how others see you and why some interactions are more satisfying, portrays a strong positive image.
You will feel confident when discussing what you are looking for in your next move, areas that you want to grow or behaviours you want to adjust, even at retirement.
You probably at least suspect that
increased self-awareness is necessary for a satisfying and sustained sense of fulfilment.
You will better understand and
appreciate how to maximise your feelings of wellbeing and success in your new job, role, company or even country.
Let's Talk About Your Fulfilling Career and Retirement
If, like me, you believe that understanding why certain activities are more fulfilling and others turn you off will lead to better career and job decisions or what to imagine a retirement that is as fulfilling as your career then you and I should talk.
