Inspiring Career Change Example
Turning a strength into a business - Cory Cook
One of our clients, Cory Cook, has just launched her web site for her own business. When Cory was ready for a career change, she sought out a coach - Energise. Cory is an American, who shares her time between the US and the UK. She has a great attention to detail, and goes that extra mile in everything she does.
Financial security is very important to her and so while self-employment was her goal, the right things needed to be in place before she took the leap - especially in hard economic times.
To give Cory that extra confidence, I helped her understand more about her talents, what makes her unique and what she specifically wanted from her work. Two areas closely matched Cory's aptitude and interests; event management and being a professional organiser. Cory researched these two options and chose professional organising because she can see how she truly makes an impact in people's work and personal lives.
Two things that stand out about Cory are her distinctive name and core values. So in choosing to call her company by her own name, Cory is also creating a brand that embodies her commitment to excellence and outstanding service.
"Working with Rachel at Energise not only helped me discover my true calling for a complete career change, but also taught me much more about myself than I had anticipated. Rachel's practical exercises, questions and steps prepared me for eventually taking the leap. Rachel's approach was what I was looking for in a business coach: helping me identify what I wanted, creating the blueprint to do it, and then holding me accountable for taking action. But the best part was that I learned tools and skills that I still use daily in many aspects of my life, not just my career."

About us
My name is Rachel Brushfield and I specialise in career change. I have over 23 years' experience and I set up Energise in 1997. My own career started in marketing and brand strategy and communication in the food industry and I then trained as a coach, before specialising in career strategy and coaching. In 2008, I took 6 months out to research and create a new area for my business - talent management, employer branding and employee engagement. This means that I have good knowledge of work trends and what competencies employers are looking for which is very useful for you embarking on your career change journey. I help my clients to create a career strategy that reflects who they are and what they really want to do.
