What others are saying
Let other people I have helped do the talking!
“Cecile has helped me achieve huge results in the short time I’ve worked with her. She’s fantastic at listening and asking the right questions and I’m amazed at how quickly things have turned around for me since implementing the advice and strategies Cecile has shared with me. The decision to hire Cecile as my career coach is one of the best investments I’ve made in my professional and personal development. I fully recommend her services to other women seeking expert support, clarity and guidance to fulfill their potential at work.”
“I was in a dead end, stuck between a profession I have always loved and the limited vision I had upon arriving in Australia. My main questions were about leveraging my experience and building my self-confidence. Cecile extremely boosted my spirits by working on different aspects that I would never have thought of, and allowed me not to give up. Her approach also helped me see situations from a more beneficial and constructive perspective. I now feel ready to launch myself into my projects and not just think about them. I recommend Cecile to anyone who feels in a dead end and like they are stagnating. In 4 months I found answers to all my questions, which would no doubt have taken me years on my own. Thank you again, this coaching really clarified my thoughts & feelings. I feel so much better and ready to fully enjoy my professional life! “
“Cecile is a truly caring individual and an amazing professional. During the sessions, Cecile helped me to look inside and challenge myself. She made it easier to identify what I wanted to achieve and focus on myself to have control over the changes I wanted to make. She helped with my confidence and removing emotional ‘roadblocks’ that were getting in the way of my career development. I just finished my Maximiser bundle and already booked a new one — I’m excited to discover where it will take me.”
“Amazing! I had a 2 hour coaching with Cecile and it was amazing. She offered so much guidance, tools and insight during our session. At the end of the session I felt more positive and with a different perspective on my issues and I felt more confident. She helped me navigate through a difficult time settling in a new job and new environment. I really liked her holistic approach, her kindness and compassion. I would definitely recommend Cecile as a coach”.
“Cécile has been my career coach for the past year and truly inspired me to make bold decisions on my career, tailored based on my potentials, strengths and passions. She is a genuine listener, insightful, friendly and honest and has supported me to overcome mental roadblocks. After my great experience, she is now coaching my wife too!”
“The sessions had a huge impact on my life. Cécile took time to know about me, my strengths and areas of improvement and provided suggestions that helped boost my confidence. She heard me patiently and asked me questions which really made me think differently. It was her who made me realise that most of my stress was due to just one habit/ nature of mine and hence provided assistance in narrowing down my areas of concern. The summary that she provided after each session was super useful and precise. She is the go to person for whoever is looking for life and/ or career coaching.”
“Cecile and what she has helped me achieve is amazing. I actually didn’t think the whole coaching thing would work for me, because as I always told myself, “I’ve got it figured out and I know how to work out when I’m standing in my way”. OMG I was so wrong, I didn’t even realise how much or how often I seem to get in my own way. Because of Cecile, I can now better understand when I do this and how to overcome it. It’s been an amazing few months of learning and understanding and I look forward to continuing to work with Cecile for even more improvement.”
“I worked with Cécile and recommend her to any women seeking further advice and direction on how to approach their careers; particularly those who know they have a lot to give, but are overwhelmed with their work life blend or lacking confidence in their own abilities. Her business is professional and the coaching experience is seamless for busy clients.
Cécile’s level-headed approach to coaching builds a foundation for clients to set their own direction and take action to get to where they want. I would gladly seek Cécile’s coaching advice again and highly recommend her and The Career Catch Up.”
“Cecile has brought out the excitement in thinking about my career. She helped me uncover my strengths. Being more aware of them has given me the confidence to think less and pursue more meaningful work that better aligns with my strengths and passions. Cecile really listened and asked the hard questions that helped me to start thinking and acting with more clarity about myself and career. She helped me discover new and more positive ways of thinking and practices that help me achieve better balance, wellness, and more happiness in a number of areas of my life.”
“Cecile is an established professional who has an ability to influence a room. Working with her is always insightful as she actively listens to the problem before engaging in solution mode. She has the ability to always make me feel as if she truly cares about my business challenges and works with me to achieve a result that I am comfortable with but which also benefits the business. Her style is extremely refreshing and authentic amongst a dynamic and chaotic business environment we operate in.”
“I met Cecile when I was made redundant in my role. I was very confused and always questioned my abilities. During our coaching Cecile made me realise the importance of my innate skills and talents, and how I can utilise them to my advantage. She gave me good insights about how to value ourselves and others, and most importantly how to stop doubting my own capabilities. Her coaching techniques are impeccable and she always brings out the best in you. I highly recommend Cecile, especially to those women who doubt their abilities.”
“Cecile isn’t just a career coach, she’s more of a ‘career psychologist’ who really takes the time and effort to get to know you and your situation on a holistic level. She then shares strategies and advice that give you confidence she really understands you and cares about helping you achieve your goals and overcome obstacles. She is extremely passionate about helping others and takes a genuine interest in your life. I’d recommend her to any mum returning to the workforce after a career break who needs help or guidance.”
“Contacting Cecile was the best decision I ever made. I had reached a point in my career where my progression had stagnated, and I couldn’t quite identify why, what my next steps could be, and honestly, I had lost a lot of my fire and motivation. Cecile helped me to reconnect with my deeper goals and drivers, explore new opportunities from a position of strength, and inspired me to reclaim my value and seek what I deserved. Cecile takes the time to understand you and deliver guidance in a way that works best for you so that you can achieve your goals your way.”
“Having Cecile by my side when traversing career options gave me focus and confidence. She helped me hone in on what was important and what I can influence to get the best outcome. Equally, she would ‘call me out’ when I was tempted by the world around me and guided my efforts back to my personal aspirations which are so very important. Time with Cecile is so worth the investment.”
“A rewarding experience, I felt empowered, I felt more confident, I felt worthy. It’s as if a light bulb went on in my head. You allowed me to talk through my thoughts, my frustrations, you gave me permission to focus on “me” because I needed to hear that. I felt more empowered since having our session and feel more decisive than I ever was to move forward and make a change. Thank you Cecile.”
“I was lucky enough to have worked with Cecile and it’s helped me tremendously. Before our sessions I was extremely lost and not at all confident about returning to the workforce after having children. Cecile has helped me believe in myself and given me the courage to pursue my dream job. I am now driven and focused in reaching my goals. Thank you Cecile.”
“I thank Cecile for her enlightenment and encouragement regarding my career path. I was at a stage where I felt lost, torn between what I should do for my family, and where I really wanted to be in my career. After discussions with her and listening to her insights, I directly contacted companies that I would love to work for, and it worked! After her coaching I was actually offered my dream role! I thank her for everything.”
“I have used Cecile as a coach for the past few years, and she has been monumental in helping me discover my true passion and figure out how I can incorporate it into my professional goals. After being a management consultant for a decade, I felt that something was missing and through her skilful coaching I discovered that CSR was an area I wanted to explore further, and I am an now responsible for this in my company. Cecile has in-depth knowledge not only on professional matters, having extensive personal experience herself of life in the fast-lane, but also a keen understanding of the mind and why we act as we do. I thoroughly enjoy talking with her on these topics and I appreciate her holistic approach to work-life-balance, as life tends to be challenging at times on both fronts. I would recommend Cecile as a coach to anyone looking into challenging the status quo and discovering their true potential.”
“I interacted with Cecile as a return to work candidate for ANZ. I was coming back to work after an eight year break in my career. Cecile helped me in numerous ways – by guiding, motivating and boosting my confidence. She also coached me to strike a better balance between home and work. Cecile was instrumental in helping me to take a critical decision that had the potential to impact the quality of my life as well as my career path. She guided me in analysing the situation, weighing pros and cons and having crucial conversations. Cecile also helped me to accept constructive feedback and making the most of it going forward. I would highly recommend her to other individuals who are resuming their careers, or in general striving for a better work-life balance.”
“Having had my role made redundant, I approached Cecile to assist me in positioning myself so that career goals and experience are aligned and to overcome the self doubt that naturally comes from being made redundant.
To this extent, Cecile’s empathy and experience in coaching and guiding me enabled me to realise my true potential and understand what makes me a great asset and talent in my profession.
Cecile has assisted me in compiling my CV and LinkedIn Profile; her support and guidance enabled me to successfully apply & accept an offer that truly matches who I am and my goals and aspirations.”
“Cecile helped me a lot in the context of lockdowns in 2021. I was completely lost and I needed a coach to know my strengths and weaknesses and get an outside opinion on my situation. Cecile has always had very insightful judgments, was attentive, and understood me and adapted to my atypical profile. She is not only a specialist in career coaching but also has immense knowledge in psychology and personal development. She recommended books and authors that really had a decisive impact in my life. I thank her for her support, her professionalism, her dedication, her patience, her work, and for her help to find the strength within myself to achieve some of my goals.”
” Thanks to Cecile, I have found a new energy to get back on track. I had 2 children and couldn’t work for a few years, I lost confidence, was a bit depressed, and wanted to give up photography for a new and different job. Cecile really helped me to focus on one photography niche, get specialised and work on marketing myself. Most of all she helped me boost my confidence and find a new energy.”
“Working with Cecile helped me open a door to a new future and question / challenge myself to see and grab all the opportunities I was not even aware of before.”
“One of the things that has enabled Cecile such career success is her ability to bring together her creativity with business smarts and the confidence to be a very direct communicator. She’s always been able to filter through and bring together ideas succinctly which makes her a great person to talk to when you feel like you’re lacking direction or feeling indecisive. She has helped me to organise my thoughts and come up with a plan of next steps to take to achieve my goals. This has helped me infinitely when I felt too overwhelmed to even begin.”
