Testimonials
Over a period of four years, I had the opportunity to be associated with Gavin in numerous professional capacities. In leadership and management roles, we all need to work with many different people, but the people you are pleased to work with again and again are the ones who are authentic from the first engagement. Gavin has maintained that authentic, measured and thoughtful approach consistently, regardless of the work or project. Even in challenging conversations or circumstances, he maintains his focus and commitment. I am pleased to have had the shared working experiences with him that I have, along the way.
I engaged Gavin as an executive coach and enjoy working with him immensely. Gavin has outstanding insight and a wealth of experience that he shares in a targeted, clear and engaging way. Through his coaching, he has helped me gain deeper insight into my strengths and operating style. He shares a genuine understanding of board and executive priorities and is invested in helping his clients be the best they can be.

Gavin played a critical role in reviving my career after I unexpectedly found myself looking for a job in the pandemic! Gavin's caring nature was evident from our very first session. Gavin clearly explained the steps that we would take to ensure my entry back into the workforce. We went back to the beginning, starting with me completing a Birkman behavioural profile, understanding the depth of my transferrable skills, then writing a CV (something I hadn't needed to do for 20 years). In Gavin's sessions, he was able to restore my confidence as I started to engage with Recruiters and my existing Network in the search for my next career opportunity. I really enjoyed Gavin's sessions and have no doubt that the work that we did together assisted me greatly in attaining the fantastic job that I now have. I would highly recommend Gavin to anyone who is thinking about a career change, looking for a new job, or in any way wanting support to take the next step in their career.

I was fortunate to have Gavin Lister as my Executive Coach. Via regular meetings, Gavin asked me thought-provoking questions aimed at providing clarity on what should be the next steps in my career path. In a calm and practical way, Gavin allowed me the time I needed to assess my transferable skills and experience, and decide which of my career passions to follow for fulfilment. I highly recommend Gavin to those of you looking for a career revival, a change or the stimulus to pursue a new direction.

As a mentor and career coach, and having known Gavin for a number of years, I’ve found that Gavin relates really well and, critical for individual development, has a very positive way of encouraging stepping into areas that might be a little uncomfortable. This trait sets Gavin apart, and for those looking to explore their next level of development and careers, I'd strongly recommend Gavin.

I spent an hour with Gavin and it was the best hour, packed with useful information. In fact, I have not ever had LinkedIn explained to me in a way I could understand. I am truly grateful for all the information and over the next few weeks will endeavour to implement as much as possible of what I learnt. Thank you so much, your knowledge and the delivery of the knowledge is just priceless.

FAQs
1. What exactly is career transition coaching, and how can it help me?
Career transition coaching provides personalised guidance to help you navigate career change with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re facing redundancy or choosing to pivot, we help you identify your strengths, refine your goals, and position yourself for success—especially in the remote job market.
2. I’ve been retrenched—where do I even start?
First, take a breath. You’re not alone. We start by helping you reset your mindset, clarify what you want next, and rebuild momentum through structured steps that include skills assessment, profile positioning, and tapping into the hidden job market.
3. Do I need remote experience to get a remote job?
Not necessarily. Many companies value transferable skills over past remote work. We help you showcase your capabilities and readiness for remote-first roles—even if this is your first step into that space.
4. What if I don’t know what I want to do next?
That’s exactly what coaching is for. Using tools like the Birkman Method and Working Genius, we help uncover what drives you, what energises you, and where your strengths align with emerging opportunities.
5. Is coaching only for executives or senior professionals?
No. We work with professionals at all career stages—from mid-career professionals feeling stuck, to executives preparing for board roles or portfolio careers.
6. How long does the coaching process take?
We tailor our programs to your goals and pace. Some clients benefit from a few focused sessions, while others engage in longer-term transition support. We’ll recommend a structure that suits your timeline.
7. Will you help me actually find a job?
We don’t guarantee placement, but we equip you with strategies to access unadvertised roles, write standout applications, prepare for interviews, and expand your network effectively—especially for remote-first opportunities.
8. Can I access coaching online?
Yes—our services are 100% remote. You can access expert coaching from wherever you are in the world.
Ready to take the next step?
Career change doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With the right guidance—especially when you expand your thinking to include remote opportunities—it becomes a powerful catalyst for personal and professional growth.
Start strong. Pivot smart. Go remote
