What I’ve seen in my work is that while we can’t control the wider job market, we can strengthen the way we navigate it. And the starting point is surprisingly simple: getting clear on what genuinely suits you. Get clear on what genuinely suits you It sounds straightforward, but for many people it’s been years since they’ve stopped to consider what they’d find energising, meaningful, or sustainable. Some have been in the same role or organisation for a long time and haven’t needed to question what they enjoy. Others have taken the next logical step because it was offered, without stopping to consider whether the bigger role or bigger pay cheque also came with a bigger cost to their home life and wellbeing. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/blog/career-reset-how-to-re-orient-your-work-life monthly 0.5 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/79ef06f9-d762-4f0b-8307-25c6f0e8ab95/Career+Reset_How+to+Re-orient+Your+Work+Life_611+x+611.png Blog - Career Reset: How to Re-orient Your Work Life - You know that feeling when you walk into a room and completely forget why you went there? You stop, retrace your steps, and re-orient yourself to remember what you were doing. We’ve all done it, right? Well, that’s a really useful analogy for what I see happen in people’s careers. As a career coach, I work with many people in mid-career who describe waking up one day, heading into work like they’ve been doing for years, and find themselves thinking: How did I get here? Maybe even looking around and realising: This isn’t what I would have chosen if I did it on purpose. That’s when you know you’ve lost track and it’s time to re-orient yourself. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/blog/reflections-on-14-years-in-business-and-nearly-a-decade-as-a-career-coach monthly 0.5 2025-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/aa53629b-4967-4438-a78a-610a52113602/Decade+of+career+coaching+611+x+611.png Blog - Reflections on 14 Years in Business – and Nearly a Decade as a Career Coach - What I’ve learned from evolving my own career, supporting hundreds of others to do the same, and staying human in a changing world of work. Fourteen years ago this month I officially launched my business – originally offering communications consulting, training and coaching. It was a natural evolution after nearly 20 years working in communications roles. But it didn’t take long to realise that, at that point in my work and life, it was actually the coaching I loved most. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/blog/when-your-work-misaligns-with-your-values-a-hidden-driver-of-burnout monthly 0.5 2025-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/c6914919-9674-43bc-92fa-cf2496109d1e/Values+misalignment+and+burnout+611+x+611px.png Blog - When Your Work Misaligns with Your Values: A Hidden Driver of Burnout - When your values are out of alignment, it affects your mental health and wellbeing – whether you can name those values or not. I’ve seen this firsthand in thousands of hours of career coaching conversations. Time and again, when we take a deeper look at values – clarifying what really matters and how that could inform future choices – people experience lightbulb moments. Often they realise that a values misalignment was at the heart of why they were feeling so deeply off-track – or why they reached a point where leaving, even without another job to go to, felt like the only option. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/blog/why-i-wouldnt-trade-60-for-20-a-reflection-on-ageing-purpose-and-freedom monthly 0.5 2025-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/7de91c2d-f333-4481-a049-3a03def76481/Wouldnt+trade+60+for+20+611+x+611.png Blog - Why I Wouldn’t Trade 60 for 20 – a Reflection on Ageing, Purpose, and Freedom I recall years ago, Meg Ryan – a Hollywood actress then in her 40s – was asked in an interview whether she felt upset about ageing. Her response was: “Why? What’s the alternative?” A great response. And as I’ve been celebrating a significant milestone birthday I’ve been thinking about that. I’m not sad about getting older. I’m grateful that it is this and not the alternative. Grateful to be here. To be healthy. To be doing work I care about, and living a life that feels like something I chose on purpose. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/blog/rethinking-your-career-path-why-that-unsettled-feeling-might-be-a-good-sign monthly 0.5 2025-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/b5d154aa-75d8-45fa-bdbf-1d21efec084c/mid+career+crisis+611+x+611_.png Blog - Mid Career Crisis? Why an Unsettled Feeling Might Be a Good Sign - [Updated: 24 April 2025] If you’re waking up dreading the day ahead, feeling drained by work that once felt fine, you might be experiencing a ‘mid career crisis’. But is a mid career crisis really a crisis? Not necessarily. What you’re feeling could be a sign you’re in need of a healthy and necessary re-evaluation. Many of the mid-career professionals I work with describe feeling off-track – not in full-blown meltdown, but flat, unmotivated, or quietly miserable. They often worry that there’s something wrong with them for feeling this way. But there’s not. It’s more common than you’d think – and it can be a turning point for something much better. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/blog/when-you-fall-out-of-love-with-your-career-understanding-identity-shifts monthly 0.5 2025-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/531c2403-0c5f-409f-831e-a6647806b758/Career+identity+crisis+611x611_.png Blog - Career Identity Crisis: Why You Fall out of Love with Your Job - Wondering why you don't feel excited by the work you used to love? A career identity crisis is common. Here's why career identity shifts... Confusion over why you no longer feel excitement for the work you used to love is more common than you might think. It happens because you’re not the same person you were when you started your career. You’re not who you were a year ago, or even a week ago for that matter! You’re constantly evolving – your interests, priorities, and perspectives shift over time. So, it’s not surprising that you might outgrow your job – or at least aspects of it. It’s not so much a career identity crisis; more of an identity shift. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/blog/removing-flexible-work-options-a-giant-leap-backwards-for-woman monthly 0.5 2025-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/2e993915-a535-43b4-a87f-a46cb5064d85/Flexible+work+options+611+x+611.png Blog - Removing Flexible Work Arrangements a Leap Backwards for Women - A huge factor in turning career enjoyment around is flexible work arrangements – the ability to design a work life that works for you. Every single day, I’m talking to people who are burnt out and struggling to find enjoyment in their jobs, and we talk about how they might improve their work lives so they can enjoy their work again and have better life balance. A huge factor in turning things around is helping them get clear on what good looks like for them. On how they would design their work lives in a way that would enable them to thrive. And like I said in my earlier LinkedIn post this week, everyone is different and their needs will be different at different periods in their lives. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/blog/feeling-stuck-with-no-time-or-energy-to-find-a-different-job monthly 0.5 2025-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/7ef643d6-bd6e-4aef-9cff-6a6cc64419c5/stuck+at+work+611x611_.png Blog - Feeling Stuck at Work & No Time or Energy to Find a Better Job? - These are the reasons you're feeling stuck at work, and here's how to get clear on what drains you and how to change your situation... Can you relate to this? “I’ve been feeling stuck at work and unhappy for [months/years/forever]. I know I need to do something to change my situation but I don’t have enough [time/energy] right now”. If this is your story – that you don’t have time or energy to invest in changing your situation so you’re no longer feeling stuck at work, perhaps you might want to test out the validity of that story you’re telling yourself. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/blog/reframingthemidlifecrisis monthly 0.5 2025-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/e2ddbde9-1bd3-4c8b-a359-409af327c1fd/mid+life+crisis+611+x+611.png Blog - Reframing the Midlife Crisis for Personal Growth & Self-Discovery - The midlife crisis is not just a cliché – it's common for people in their 40s and 50s. It can lead to significant personal growth and self-discovery... Apparently it really is a thing. The midlife crisis is not just a cliché – one in four adults aged between 40 and 59 experience it. And, despite the stereotype that it’s a male thing, research shows that slightly more women than men go through it. One of the triggers of a midlife crisis, according to Dr Oliver Robinson, a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Greenwich, can be feeling “locked in” to a job. “… it often revolves around the increasing pressure of work and feeling like you’re in a job that you don’t actually want to be in, but you’ve progressed up the ladder and it’s too late to jump off”. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/blog/getbackinthedrivingseatofyourcareer monthly 0.5 2025-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/02265047-9bf6-4c46-a536-bb99897d30f9/career+success+factors+611+x+611.png Blog - Career Success Factors & How to Redefine Success - Of the many career success factors, there is one that will help you get back in the driving seat by redefining what career success looks like. I was asked recently; “Out of all the career success factors, if there was just one thing you could tell your clients to help in their careers, what would it be?” After some deliberation (it’s so hard to think of just one thing!) I responded: “Define (or redefine) what career success looks like for you”.

A client who had received yet another ‘exceeds expectations’ rating on his performance review, reflecting on his values, said: “You know what? There are other things I want to exceed at”. He’d prefer to exceed at being a great dad who was fully present with his young children, not just there for the ‘rush hours’ (getting everyone out of the house in the morning, or into bed at night). To exceed at his relationships, with his wife and his wider family and friends. At keeping himself healthy. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/blog/should-i-go-or-should-i-stay monthly 0.5 2025-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/37a206c9-b987-448d-a7a1-a72440b02557/should+i+quit+my+job+611+x+611.png Blog - Should I Quit My Job? These 2 Questions Will Help You Decide - When a client tells me they really thought about the question, "Should I quit my job?" and then did, it makes my day! Here's why... It makes my day because it usually means they found the answer to two important questions. It’s usually come about after they’d been stuck in an untenable situation that was never going to change, and they’d finally built up the courage and confidence to leave. That’s not to say, however, that leaving is always the answer when you’re unhappy at work. Sometimes, there are things that can change that might help you fall back in love with the job. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/blog/giveyourselfpermission monthly 0.5 2025-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/d1476852-e8be-4341-964c-67148e6c52f9/cost+of+putting+others+first+611+x+611.png Blog - The Cost of Always Putting Others First - What a health scare taught me about boundaries, work, and self-care. I haven’t talked about this widely, but earlier this year I had a breast cancer scare. I don’t tend to share what’s going on for me but I will because some insights from that experience might be helpful for others. This was my first major health scare and it came with the expected gamut of emotions – downplaying it at first and just grateful we’d caught whatever it was early, to then being a bit more concerned when realising it was in fact early stages of cancer and a high grade at that. Perhaps the most surprising response was my immediate reaction to the news I’d have to have three weeks of daily radiation following an operation. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/blog/isityourjobthatneedstochange monthly 0.5 2025-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/7186d408-f3a8-4d1d-b8b9-84c71f44ad6f/career+wellbeing+quiz+online+free+611+x+611.png Blog - Career Wellbeing Quiz – Online, Free - If you're unhappy in your job but can’t put your finger on where the dissatisfaction is coming from, try my Career Wellbeing Quiz – it's online & free.

From Corporate Role to Business Owner: Clarity on Values Made It Possible - When Martin began coaching, he had built a solid corporate career. He was experienced and capable, but his work didn’t feel fully aligned with what motivated him most. He wanted clarity on the type of opportunities that would give him energy and direction for the future. Discovering what drives him Through coaching, Martin identified his core values and drivers more clearly than ever before. At the top of the list was Adventure. Recognising this gave him a framework for making decisions about his career and helped him see why certain roles had felt flat while others lit him up. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/career-transformation-stories/kayleys-career-reset-from-uncertainty-to-values-aligned-new-direction monthly 0.5 2025-09-01 https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/career-transformation-stories/jamies-career-transformation-from-climbing-the-ladder-to-crafting-a-role-that-truly-fits monthly 0.5 2025-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/1f5c95c4-5c35-42e3-8e8c-62bc0cf767c6/Jamie+Weddell+611x611.jpg Career Transformation Stories - Jamie’s Career Transformation – From “Climbing the Ladder” to Crafting a Role That Truly Fits - When Jamie began the 1:1 career coaching programme, she was following a career trajectory that many would consider a success – steadily moving up the ladder, ticking the traditional boxes of advancement. But while the promotions kept coming, the satisfaction didn’t always follow. Through the coaching process, Jamie realised she had been measuring opportunities by the wrong yardstick. Instead of asking whether a new role was something she genuinely enjoyed, aligned with her values, or added to her skillset, she was focused on whether it was the next rung she was “supposed” to reach. That shift in perspective became one of the most significant outcomes of the programme. Jamie says her approach is now focused on “thinking through each new opportunity, whether it's what I enjoy, what sits with my values, and what adds to my toolkit – as opposed to thinking, is it the next rung on the ladder that I'm ‘supposed to’ climb by some other arbitrary rules”. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/career-transformation-stories/from-overworked-contractor-to-values-led-business-owner-joannes-career-reset-story monthly 0.5 2025-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/74dae4b9-bc94-4402-a6d4-95e1ce57fab3/Joanne+Howe+611x611.jpg Career Transformation Stories - From Overworked Contractor to Values-Led Business Owner: Joanne’s Career Reset Story - When Joanne first came to coaching, she was at a crossroads. On the face of it, her work was going well – she was capable, experienced, and in demand. But underneath that was a growing sense of frustration. She was stuck in contract work that drained her energy and no longer aligned with how she wanted to live or work. https://www.luminousconsulting.co.nz/career-transformation-stories/sams-mid-career-breakthrough-from-uncertainty-to-leadership monthly 0.5 2025-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ee79101225ea328b63265b/5f5f1853-6eee-4be2-aada-6fd794f6bd15/Sam+McDonnell_611x611.jpg Career Transformation Stories - Sam’s Mid-career Breakthrough: From Uncertainty to Leadership - When Sam first got in touch for coaching, she valued the organisation she worked for, but her role no longer felt like the right fit. She missed leading people, felt too removed from decision-making, and was questioning what kind of contribution she wanted to make next. She had done various leadership courses and development and nothing has felt exactly like what she was after. “I just need some clarity on what to do and where to go”. Over the course of our coaching, Sam developed a much clearer sense of what mattered to her in her career. She realised she was ready to move into a more senior role – one that gave her greater influence, allowed her to lead others again, and better aligned with her values.
