Inspiring Career Change Example
Here's Sarah's story, one of our clients who kept on talking about her new career, but not doing anything about it. Until she came to see us....
A great new career idea - getting started - Sarah
Sometimes my clients have a clear idea of what they want from their career or business, it's just getting it started. Sarah had a young daughter and knew she wanted to make greeting cards. Her friends kept on asking her how it was going and she got frustrated with herself that she had yet to start her business.
The major block turned out to be two things: having an inspiring desk where she could create the cards, and setting up a storage system for all the materials. When she felt ready to create, her working area was organised and uncluttered, which is important for her creativity to flow. I also shared useful resources to support her, including an introduction to another client at an early stage of her business, which provided them with mutual support.
Sarah secured a grant to fund production and created her first range of 'sweet as cherry pie' greeting cards. Her cards are stocked in national chains as well as being available for purchase on the Web.
"Rachel gave me consciousness of my capabilities within, and insight that I had the capability to do what I wanted to do. She worked her magic to unblock me and freed up the space in me to start my business."

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.
