NOVA x Talking Talent

Coaching can help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Through our partnership with NOVA, Talking Talent is offering members access to coaching-led development designed to support career clarity, confidence, progression and leadership growth.

Whether you are exploring your next move, stepping into greater responsibility, navigating change, or looking for space to think clearly about what comes next, coaching gives you focused support at the moments that matter.

Enquire about coaching

Is coaching right for you?

Coaching is for people who want to pause, reflect and move forward with more clarity.

You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. Coaching can help you make sense of where you are now, what may be getting in the way, and what you want to do next.

It may be especially useful if you are:

  • Preparing for your next career move
  • Stepping into a new role or level of responsibility
  • Building confidence, visibility or influence
  • Navigating change, uncertainty or transition
  • Managing pressure, expectation or self-doubt
  • Exploring what sustainable progression looks like for you

What people say about Talking Talent coaching

Coaching helped me move from feeling overwhelmed and relentless pressure to becoming a more confident, happier and more effective senior leader. With my coach’s support, I learned how to be kinder to myself, build sustainable habits, focus on what matters and reconnect with the enjoyment in my role.

TT Coachee Senior Leader

While I have not yet reached promotion, I am undoubtedly a better professional than when I started. I feel more confident, more comfortable taking risks and more able to move forward from moments I had previously carried heavily.

TT Coachee Emerging Leader

My TT coach redefined how I think about work, my relationships with colleagues and leaders, and how I own my career. Coaching helped me take ownership of challenges, prepare for pivotal executive conversations and think about my future with much greater clarity.

TT Coachee Senior Professional

My TT coach was personable, intuitive and thoughtful, with endless techniques to help progress my thinking. They challenged me in the right way, held me to account, supported me to follow through on commitments and brought real empathy and understanding to every conversation.

Recent member experience

A focused reset for career, direction and balance.

“

Thank you for the introductory coaching session. I came into the session hoping for a fast-track reset, a chance to align on my current direction of travel around my career and life choices.

I really appreciated Rob’s active listening and the way he balanced empathy with direct challenge. His structured approach helped me clarify my goals quickly, and I felt very comfortable sharing my challenges.

In particular, the session helped me build on my personal brand and think about how to reposition myself at this point in my career. I also welcomed the focus on my health and life balance, recognising that these are just as important as the next stage of my career journey.

Rob’s style was a perfect fit for how I like to work. The Talking Talent approach, from the initial conversation through to the session itself, was supportive and informative. I was given a choice of coaches to select from, and I would certainly recommend Talking Talent as a coaching partner of choice for the future.
