Navigate the biggest life and career decisions with greater clarity and more confidence

What you know now is that you can't stay where you are

What you don't know is;
Where do you go next?
And how will you get there?

You're here because:

  • Where you are now in your career, your job, your industry, or geographically, is not working

  • Or, it's not too bad where you are. You get paid well enough to meet your financial responsibilities, but deep down, you don’t want to just settle.

  • Or, you chose to make a big move, and are feeling lost at sea

  • Or, you did not choose this transition. It landed on you, and you want to make the most of the opportunity

If this sounds like you, you're in the right place.

Hi, I'm Brendan.
I specialize in helping professionals navigate big transitions in life, work, and location.

I work with people on the cusp of big life transitions, like career changes or relocation.

I know this can be difficult for many reasons, such as family and financial responsibilities, navigating bureaucracy, and building new connections.

Making these changes is both challenging and complex.

What makes them even more difficult are the internal fears, stories, and beliefs that make you doubt whether you can do it or even should.

When stress overshadows our clarity and decision-making abilities, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of what's ahead. But this is a natural part of the transition process, and it doesn't have to be a barrier to creating the life you want.

That’s where I can help.

This is for you if:

  • You have been given an opportunity that would turn your life upside down, and are worried about taking it

  • You're done trying so hard to fit in and know you're just in the wrong place

  • You feel like you are stuck on a corporate treadmill with no end in sight

  • You’re frustrated of knowing you have more to offer but don’t know how to bring it to life.

  • You sense the weight of everyday stresses building, and you know it's time to lighten the load

I've been there. Despite having a relatively successful career in IT for over twenty years, I realised that path was unsustainable. I decided to make a leap into the unknown, leaving the security of my salaried career to aim for a future that is better aligned with who I really am and what I truly value.

Today, I help people gain clarity and develop the confidence they need to take big steps forward in a new direction.

Ready to make the move?

How I help

1:1 Coaching

I coach professionals, entrepreneurs, and people in between who are navigating major career and life changes.

Having gone through several significant life transitions myself, I know how challenging, disorienting, and yet rewarding they can be. This journey has not only challenged me to apply my own advice but also deepened my understanding of the transformative impact that such transitions can have

I work with clients globally online and in person in Portugal

Mid-move Mastermind

You don’t have to do it alone.

Mid-career Mastermind offers a way to connect with a regular group of like-minded people who share your common goals and challenges. 

Meeting periodically during your big move, you can draw on the group’s collective wisdom and support to:

  • Explore the questions you might not be able to ask other stakeholders in the move (family, work colleagues)

  • Generate accountability and mutual commitment

  • Build the mindset and mental models to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of the future workplace

  • Brainstrom and ideate approaches and options you might not have considered

  • Pool resources or connections to support your transitions

  • Draw on the diverse experiences and viewpoints in the group to expand your perspective

Some kind words from people I’ve worked with

Helped me through challenging transitions

"Brendan is an empathetic, thoughtful, and resourceful coach who has helped me through some challenging professional and personal life transitions. His coaching style and techniques provided me with a safe and non-judgemental space for me to assess my life and what’s important to me. This has given me new perspectives and life choices that were not previously readily apparent to me. If you’re looking to make a change, work through a transition, or reassess what’s important to you, then I would not hesitate to recommend working with Brendan."

Transformative coaching

"Brendan supported me to dig very deeply into realizing what got me to where I am now (for good or for bad), getting far closer to who I want to be in life and why this all matters to me personally and professionally (right now and in the long game). I am grateful to Brendan for his dedication to me and my coaching experience! I highly recommend him to anyone who wants the experience of transformative coaching."

- Lora, Frankfurt

A calm and grounding presence

"I really appreciate Brendan's calm and grounding presence in all our sessions. He made me feel comfortable enough to share some of my more difficult topics and provided new ways of looking at my situation whilst remaining kind to myself. I also really appreciate the resources Brendan shared with me to go through at my own time and pace. Overall, I felt very supported by Brendan during our engagement and highly recommend him as a coach."
