I’ve built confidence and quit my old job, and am now in the career of my dreams."

Who is career change coaching for?

Career change coaching may be right for you if you are seriously considering a move, but you:

are not sure what you want next

feel low in confidence, stuck or pigeonholed;

worry it may be too late, too risky or too financially difficult;

do not know what exciting and realistic options are out there;

are ready to invest time, thought and energy into giving your career change the attention it deserves

This is specialist, professional support for people ready to explore properly and move forward with more confidence.

From stuck to clear

A proven approach to a fulfilling, realistic new career

Career change feels overwhelming when you try to solve everything at once. Our approach guides you step by step through four essential stages — whether you need tailored coaching, the Career Change Pathway, or a blend of both.

Clarity → Options → Evidence → Action

Not all at once – and not by guessing.

1. Clarity

2. Options

Expert, Flexible Support

Expert career coaching, not generic advice

Changing career is rarely just a practical puzzle.

It can involve identity, confidence, money, risk, family expectations, professional credibility and the fear of making the wrong move.

Thriveherd combines expert career coaching, structured tools and real-world testing so you can work through both the personal and practical sides of career change.

Personalised coaching when you need it

Structure when the whole journey feels unclear

Real-world evidence before commitment

For clarity, decisions, confidence, identity, interviews, applications, visibility, transition planning or moments when you feel blocked.

For moving from uncertainty to clarity, from ideas to options, and from options to evidence-backed action.

So you do not have to make a major move based only on theory, panic or wishful thinking. Make an informed decision.

Fulfilment + Practicality

Find a direction that excites you — and works in real life

A career change has to do more than sound inspiring. It also needs to work with your money, energy, skills, responsibilities and appetite for risk.

Real voices of change

Hear from people who've changed career with us.

I needed a change and a way out. Thriveherd helped me identify my priorities and my red flags. I was able to reflect & consider aspects I hadn’t even thought of before and create a Career Change Plan for the short, medium and long term.

I have successfully found a job in a new sector without much previous experience. I can say loud and clear that I feel very positive!

Tiziana
Not just career changing but life changing!

Before this programme, I felt stuck in a career that no longer held meaning or satisfaction for me.

One month after finishing the programme I’ve been offered a role in my new career, working 100% from home. This could not have worked out any better!

L. Mortenson
I knew I wanted a change but was wary of jumping into a new career, and I had very little idea of what jobs might be available or how to go about getting them.

I’ve now got a new job in a meaningful area that I feel passionately about and which genuinely aligns with who I am. I am really excited about my career going forwards!

Our story

Why we do this work

Our story began with the individual coaching practices of our co-founders, Paul and Silvana, supporting people who felt stuck, burnt out or misaligned in their work. Over time, they saw a clear pattern: when people found clarity and confidence in their careers, the ripple effect extended far beyond them – into their teams, organisations, families and communities.

They also noticed something that didn’t sit well. World-class coaching is too often the preserve of the few, effectively making access to a fulfilling working life means-tested. Thriveherd exists to change that.

From this commitment grew a team of values-driven coaches, and PEP Talk was shaped as a community-based membership. The result is world-class coaching delivered in a more accessible way, without sacrificing depth, quality or long-term impact.
