CONSCIOUS CAREER COACHING

Find Yourself & Career Fulfilment in your fifties (& beyond)

with Helen Dillon

Conscious Career Coaching

is for mature women who:

are at the messy, magnificent, Big Midlife Career Crossroads
want work that fits who they’re becoming, not who they were 10 years ago
at 50+, feel “it’s now or never” to follow what’s calling them
are ready to trust themselves to find success and fulfilment on their own terms, without second guessing or holding back any longer

Is This You….?

Your next career adventure begins here

We’ll map it out together, using my Career Orienteering^tm framework

Meet: The 4 Compass Questions for Conscious Career Reinvention:

Q. Who am I?

Regain your on-going connection to your inner source. Live, work, decide, and act from this deeper place of self-trust, self-understanding, and self-leadership.

Key idea: Be true to yourself

Q. What matters?

Rebuild your confidence and trust in what you want and why you’re here. Decode your skills and talents. Understand what’s calling you, and why.

Key idea: Belonging in your life

Q. What is my right path?

Develop and design the next stage of your career journey. New job? Complete career rethink? Go forward with intention and joy. Transform obstacles to openings.

Key idea: Paths are made by walking

Q. How to show up for myself?

Resource yourself through change. Embrace good enough in the knowledge that progress trumps perfection. Discover inner spaciousness despite a busy life.

Key idea: You matter

Career coaching for Women at the big midlife career crossroads

~ Career Coaching for Women ~
The Messy, Magnificent, Midlife Career Crossroads

The big midlife Career Crossroads isn’t just about what you do for a living.

It’s about who you are.

And “Who am I?” (as opposed to “Who should I be?”) is the most fundamental question we need to work with in our lives. Especially when you’re menopausal, 50-plus, older, wiser, and just getting started. Especially in a world where older women are still expected to fade to grey.

In fact, this vibrant career reinvention you’re looking for is probably going hand in hand with the reinvention of yourself that happens as you grow through menopause and beyond.

That makes it both momentous and messy.

But while it might feel like floundering, in fact you’re crossing a threshold.

This is a time to tune into yourself and follow the call to work that’s deeper, truer and more aligned.

That’s why I both integrate a reliable, bodymind enquiry process (Focusing) into my Career Orienteering^TM framework AND also teach this same process stand-alone as a life skill you can make your own.

I help you find yourself – and work that fits – by turning toward the deeper intelligence within you. The part that already knows what needs to change. The part that’s ready to lead.

This threshold can be magnificent, because you’re stepping into your power.

Hi, I’m Helen Dillon

You’ve come this far. Now it’s time for the next chapter.

I know what it’s like to reinvent yourself

I worked in high-powered corporate settings before changing career to psychotherapy and then coaching. Now, after much soul-work and some significant personal shifts, I’ve added facilitation and teaching.

Qualified in professional coaching, person-centred therapy, and, more recently, certified in Experiential Focusing (a mindful, somatic self-awareness practice), I’ve helped many women through significant life and work transitions.

Thru 20-something years of this work I’ve learned:

When women connect to their inner wisdom-process – their embodied intelligence – they grow in confidence and clarity. They feel more powerful, purposeful, and courageous.

They get the way forward. They take the steps.

This inner wisdom-process, a.k.a. your inner compass or inner wise woman, is the truest resource you have for finding direction for your work, knowing what you want from a career, and living fully.

This isn’t conventional, goal-oriented, if-this-then-that coaching…

What women say…

“At first, I was concerned that it would be too ‘soft’ and generic; in fact it was highly personal and often challenging. I also didn’t understand how someone who didn’t know me or my issues could help.
I’ve learned that Helen is a guide to finding the help within …which is a powerful, lasting gift to her clients… ……Our sessions felt like a mental spa or an emotional massage. Afterwards I often took action on things that had been blocked a long time.”
_{Sara Abdullah}

“Helen has been a warm, kind and gentle coach with me which is exactly what I needed whilst trying to navigate a change of career alongside illness and bereavement in my family …I experienced several revelations over just a few sessions and learned the importance of loving all parts of myself. I have so much confidence in my new direction having explored the depths of what matters to me, who I am, and where I come from.”
_{Caroline Kisielewicz}

“I’m not sure that I would have been brave enough to consider such a change, never mind embark on potentially a whole new path, if we had not met and spoken. I am so glad and grateful we did. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with me and for pointing the way. It feels like my life has changed for the better.”
_{Emilia S.}

This work is subtle and practical. Grounded and visionary.

We create space to think, feel, and listen in. We map what matters now. We clear the noise.

And we take real steps forward.

Feel like it’s “now or never” to change your career and live the life you want?

Women in their 50s are living longer and want work that matters. But let’s be real here, the window isn’t endless. At 55, time feels different than at 35.

That’s what “conscious” in Conscious Career Coaching is about. We’re facing the truth that careers are finite, and using it as fuel.

So we can open to living fully present and awake to our “one wild and precious” life, even if we’re doing that messily and with many a mis-step. Better that than drifting along because “it’s never too late” and “I can do it tomorrow or next year”.
