Are you in your 20s… or at the start of your career and struggling to make an impact?

You are not alone!

In the UK and globally, there is an over-supply of students with high grades.  Employers find it hard both to differentiate between them and to identify young people with the skills and capabilities they seek.

Young people find it hard to access and acquire the package of personal and interpersonal skills and habits that will enable them to succeed and thrive in today’s workplace.

We have created the Oyster Programme to help you develop the capabilities which are in short supply by undertaking a live, ‘continuous’ coaching programme which uses situations in your daily life to practise and grow the skills you need.

The earlier you gain the skills and habits which suit your personality and the people around you, the sooner you will enjoy more choice and satisfaction in your working life.

What are the Oyster Programmes?

They are two individually tailored coaching programmes designed specifically to equip people in their 20s for the world of work.

There is hope

Getting some foundations sorted provides a spring to your step in your world of work.

Truly the best training or coaching experience I have ever had. I found Jude personable and easy to communicate with which made my ability to share things openly and freely with her very easy.

I have found our sessions and the feeling of possibility that these have created in me inspirational.

If you’re wondering about coaching with Jude, go for it! There’s so much to explore and you’ll be amazed at what you learn and how you will grow in confidence and self-awareness.

I’ve managed to identify more clarity and direction in different areas of my life, as well as better understand what it is that I want to achieve more generally.
