Winning Again:
Reclaiming Your Confidence & Thriving in Your Career. Turning Career Setbacks into Career Success.
In the fast-paced, high-stakes world of the City of London, career wounds can often go unnoticed. Whether it’s from a misconduct investigation, bullying, being asked to leave a position, or simply feeling overlooked, these experiences can leave deep emotional scars. Unfortunately, such trauma often remains unspoken, buried beneath the surface of our professional lives.
But what if you could not only heal from these wounds but rise stronger than ever before? What if, instead of just surviving, you could thrive and feel empowered to take the next step in your career?
That’s where Winning Again comes in.
What is Winning Again?
Winning Again is a specialised service designed for professionals who have experienced career wounds and are ready to take the next step towards healing, empowerment, and success. This service offers a comprehensive therapy and coaching that not only helps you process and understand your experiences but also prepares you to thrive in your profession once more.
How Winning Again Helps You Move Forward.
Through Winning Again, I’ll help you:
1. Understand & Process Career Trauma
Career setbacks can deeply affect your self-worth, confidence, and approach to work. We begin by helping you fully process your career wounds, whether that’s from misconduct investigations, toxic work cultures, or being pushed out of your job. Understanding the impact these experiences have had on you is the first step in breaking free from their hold.
2. Shift From “Win to Play” to “Play to Win”
After a career wound, it’s common to adopt a Win to Play strategy operating from a place of insecurity and fear. This can manifest as playing small, doubting yourself, and avoiding opportunities. Through Winning Again, we’ll help you shift to a Play to Win strategy, where you are driven by confidence, mastery, and an empowered approach to challenges.
We’ll work together to analyse your current performance strategies and replace ineffective, insecurity-driven habits with effective, growth-focused approaches that set you up for lasting success.
3. Rebuild Your Confidence and Feel Safe Being Visible
After facing professional trauma, it can feel unsafe to be seen or recognised in your industry. Winning Again helps you reconnect with your professional identity and feel confident and safe in your visibility. If necessary, I’ll refer you to trusted professionals such as:
- Image Consultants to refine your personal and professional image, helping you present yourself with confidence.
- Professional Photographers to ensure your visual presence aligns with your career goals.
- LinkedIn Positioning to optimise your digital presence, showcasing your expertise, achievements, and future potential.
4. Create a Strategy for Ongoing Success
Finally, Winning Again is about positioning you to win, not just once, but continually. I’ll help you develop a tailored plan for moving forward, whether that means excelling in your current role, transitioning to a new opportunity, or embracing a leadership position.
Your Career Isn’t Over—It’s Just Beginning
From my experience of working with people who have experienced career wounds, I’ve noticed that these setbacks are often part of a bigger story. While painful in the moment, they can serve as turning points, catalysts that push people to reevaluate their values, goals, and the direction they truly want to go. These experiences, while challenging, often have a way of clearing the path for new opportunities and growth.
It’s not about putting the past behind you; it’s about using what you’ve learned to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose. The next chapter of your career may very well be the one that brings you the success, fulfilment, and impact you’ve always been meant to achieve.
It’s time to heal your survival mode and start winning again!
