Coaching
Imagine a career where your passion for sustainability aligns perfectly with your professional reality. I help ambitious recent graduates and emerging professionals scale their sustainability careers.
Landing in roles that don't align with your values, feeling stuck, or not achieving the impact you dream of can lead to frustration and self-doubt. But it doesn't have to be this way. I connected the dots in my career to create my unique leadership voice, and love helping others do the same through the tools and strategies I’ve built along the way.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
You’ve worked hard. You care deeply. But if you’re honest, you’re not where you thought you’d be. Maybe the roles you’ve landed in feel stagnant and misaligned - like you’ve compromised your values to “get experience.” Maybe you’re questioning if you have what it takes to lead in this space.
🧭 Discover Your Path | We’ll start by getting clear on what actually fits you by identifying dream roles that reflect your passion and your potential for real impact. Learning from first-hand experiences can help you move with more speed and intention.
🛠️ Build Your Skills | If you’re feeling behind, underqualified, or invisible, I’ll help you identify and build the skills that matter most with the confidence to use them.
🤝 Forge Authentic Connections | Connection is everything, but networking can feel overwhelming. I’ll help you build authentic relationships that open doors to unexpected opportunities, not just LinkedIn connections.
🎤 Lead with Impact | You don’t need to be in a leadership position yet. You might already have ideas for making an impact but feel unsure how to begin. I’ll guide you through designing and leading initiatives that matter - ones that reflect your true abilities and value.
🌍 Scale with Vision | When you’re ready to think bigger, we’ll look at how to scale your impact, from partnering across your community to shaping global conversations.
🌟 Elevate Your Brand | Throughout it all, I’ll help you build a visible, authentic personal brand. I can guide you through generating press, media and thought leadership that moves the needle on the issues you care about and gets noticed for the right reasons.
You’re not in the wrong industry. You’re not too late. You just need the right strategy and someone who sees where you’re going.
Let’s turn that passion into a career that sustains you.
Testimonies.
“Jess listens in a very active way - it’s both reassuring and empowering. She has this real ability to pinpoint certain things, or ask prompting questions that allow you to challenge your thinking. These sessions helped me get a clearer view of who I am, who I want to be, the impact I hope to have, and how those things connect. It helps you see the potential you have, and it’s given me a new energy.”
— Joao (UK & Italy)
“Jess took the time to fully understand my values, background and long term goals. Before I started working with Jess, I felt overwhelmed. Her approach was both strategic and encouraging, and now I feel much more focused and in control of my career path.”
— Hazal (UK & Turkey)
“Jess gave me a lot of clarity. Before our first session, I guess I did have a plan, but she really helped me put my plan into action. She helped put me out of my comfort zone, while building my confidence to allow myself to make that move.”
— Dharini (USA & UAE)

FAQ
-
My coaching sessions are primarily designed for early-career professionals and purpose-driven creatives who want to make a meaningful contribution - especially in the sustainability and social impact space. I can also support professionals at other career stages who are looking to make a change, elevate their voice, or scale their existing work and projects.
You might be feeling stuck or misaligned, seeking direction, or already ready to grow but want some support to make your next step successful. You don’t need to have it all figured out or have a plan for what to discuss. You just need to be open to exploring what’s possible with someone in your corner who’s done it before, and can help you get there faster.
-
Coaching gives you a space to pause, reflect and gain clarity on what’s next. It helps you move through confusion or doubt by building self-awareness, aligning your actions with your values and turning vague goals into tangible momentum. Many clients leave sessions feeling more confident in how they show up, more connected to their purpose and more equipped to speak clearly about their impact. It’s not just about career strategy - it’s about feeling grounded and supported as you grow.
The benefits of coaching look different for everyone, as everyone is at a different point in their journey. You could walk away with a new role, a refreshed CV, a pitch to a podcast, an idea for a project or a new way of looking in the mirror. I’m here to help you figure out what you need to thrive in your sustainability career and continue showing up as an impactful, authentic leader.
-
Absolutely. Some of the most impactful people in sustainability didn’t study it directly, and unique perspectives always offer their own value. Whether your background is in engineering, music, policy, design, law or something else entirely, there’s a place for your perspective. What matters is how you frame your story, connect your skills to sustainability goals and position yourself authentically. I’ll support you in doing that with clarity and intention.
-
Confidence isn’t something you magically have - it’s something you build through trial and error, and by learning to trust yourself. Often, we just need space to hear our own voice, understand our strengths, and practise using them in a way that feels natural. You don’t need to be loud or outgoing to feel confident, and you don’t need to be experienced or have a manager role to lead with impact. In our work together, we’ll help you define your leadership voice on your own terms and grow into it gradually through tailored support.
-
Absolutely. Imposter syndrome is incredibly common in the sustainability space - especially when you’re navigating an unclear job market, complex issues, new roles and multidisciplinary teams.
Coaching gives you space to unpack those feelings without judgement. Together, we’ll explore where the doubt is coming from, build a clearer picture of your strengths, build new skills, and develop ways to speak about your work with more confidence and ease.
You don’t always have to add another degree or hustle away years in a role that isn’t the right fit to ‘get experience’ - you just need tools, support and new perspectives to start seeing yourself in a way that empowers your impact.

A Clarity Call is a free 30-minute conversation where we get to know each other and explore what’s going on for you. You can share what’s feeling stuck, where you’d like to be, and what kind of support you’re looking for. I’ll ask some reflective questions to help bring shape to those thoughts, and we’ll talk through whether coaching is the right fit for your goals. There’s no pressure or obligation - just a chance to connect and get clear on your next steps.
-
A Clarity Call is a free 30-minute conversation to get to know each other and explore what’s going on for you. It’s a chance to talk through your current situation, ask questions, and see if coaching feels like the right fit. There’s no prep required and no pressure to commit. This is available once per client as an introductory offer.
A Deep Dive is a paid 60-minute session where we go a step further. We’ll focus on one or two areas you’d like support with - whether that’s mapping out your next steps, working on your personal brand, or unblocking something that’s been holding you back. You’ll leave with practical insights and tailored guidance you can start applying straight away.
You can book Deep Dives as a once off or regularly as ongoing support. They are also available as a bundle in my Scale your Impact Package, which includes ongoing text and email support between calls.
-
No preparation is required. If you already have questions or reflections, you’re welcome to bring them - but you don’t need to arrive with a plan. I’ll guide the conversation so we can use the time meaningfully, even if you’re unsure where to begin.
Talking about yourself can be challenging, so I encourage my clients to come exactly as they are and focus on creating an open mindset.
-
Yes. All of my coaching sessions are offered online via video call, so you can join from anywhere in the world. We meet virtually, and I take notes for you during the session so you can stay present without needing to multitask.
I recommend giving the session your full attention if you can, but I also understand that students and early-career professionals often have packed days juggling many commitments. If it helps you make time for coaching, you’re more than welcome to bring a meal along for a lunch, brekkie or dinner meeting! I’m here to make coaching work for you.
-
People often use these terms interchangeably, but they’re not quite the same. Coaching is focused on asking the right questions to help you find your own answers. It’s about building clarity, confidence, momentum and tools based on your goals and strengths. Mentoring often involves giving direct advice from someone who’s walked a similar path. My approach sometimes blends both, but the core of coaching is helping you lead with intention, and working practically on strategies for you to achieve your impact.
-
That depends on your goals and where you’re starting from. Some clients come for one or two Deep Dives to unblock something specific. Others prefer a longer engagement to work through deeper transitions, build new skills or grow their leadership over time on a specific project. During your Clarity Call, we’ll talk about what kind of support would best meet your needs.
-
Yes. I’ve supported clients across five countries and held global roles myself, so I understand the nuances of navigating different cultural, geographic and professional contexts. Wherever you’re based, I’ll tailor our sessions to your needs by blending research with local insight, and helping you unlock the networks and knowledge you already have access to. Whether you’re in a major city or working remotely, we can build a plan that works for your unique environment and goals.
