Compassionate career coaching for People professionals

Compassionate career coaching for People professionals

Fay Wallis, a white woman with brown hair sitting on the edge of the sofa, looking directly at the camera.

I believe that

  • Everyone deserves a fulfilling career, without feeling overwhelmed or burnt out

  • People aren’t robots, so they need both practical and emotional support

  • Helping others benefits everyone

This passion for helping people with their careers inspired me to channel my HR experience and coach training into founding Bright Sky Career Coaching in 2016.

After years of helping hundreds of people, across many sectors and levels, I realised that I got the most joy from coaching HR and People professionals. So, since September 2022 I now focus all my efforts on supporting them. To help more ‘People people’, I’ve hand-picked a small team of expert coaches, also with an HR background, who share Bright Sky’s values.
