"Scott has been an invaluable resource for me in this transition journey. He's helped me realize things about myself I didn't know. He's helped me gain the confidence to explore the root of who I am and move forward with confidence. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering a career pivot or to gain better insight into what's possible in your existing career!"

Career Coach
Work should feel purposeful — not something you simply get through
Many of the professionals I work with are experienced, capable people who have reached a point where something no longer feels quite right in their working life.
You might feel stuck and unsure where to go from here, lack confidence, wonder whether you've outgrown your role, or simply know that work isn't giving you what it used to.
Whether you're considering a career change or looking to improve your experience of work where you are, coaching can help you understand what's really going on and identify practical ways forward.
Coaching that supports both career change and workplace fulfilment
I'm Scott Foley, a Career Coach and Coach Supervisor with over 20 years' experience helping professionals navigate career change, career development and workplace challenges.
My clients come to me for many different reasons. Some are considering a career change. Others want to regain confidence, navigate challenges at work, progress professionally, or simply feel more fulfilled in their careers.
Coaching provides a confidential space to step back, think clearly and work through what's happening. Together we'll explore your situation, challenge unhelpful assumptions, identify practical options and create a plan for moving forward.
Sometimes that leads to a career transition. Sometimes it leads to a better experience of work where you are. Often it's about understanding which path is right for you.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience working with Scott. He’s very professional but also just a genuinely kind person, which made the sessions really easy to dive into. I especially liked that he doesn't use a 'one-size-fits-all' approach, he really tailored everything to my specific situation and goals. Plus, he shared some excellent resources that have been super helpful. Definitely recommend him!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott and I worked together over 6 sessions, he was kind, knowledgeable, curious, challenging and attentive. I could not be more grateful to have worked with him, the coaching period has helped me immensely with my immediate problem, but I think will forever be of value as I learned to think about how I approach my career in a different way. I highly recommend.
