"The coaching has given me hope, a renewed sense of purpose and direction. I have been truly empowered."

"The course is great if you are like me and need life direction and self-motivation. I highly recommend it - excellent content, structure and value!"

"I reached out to Meg as I was feeling stuck in a negative mental loop in my work life. Meg really helped me to shift my perspective to see that what I thought were potential weaknesses, are actually my superpowers that I have not been leaning into."

Joy Waddell
Programme Coordinator | London, UK
"I had been in a job where I felt undervalued and unrecognised, but the coaching process helped me reflect on my values, strengths, and blind spots in a safe and supportive space. It gave me the confidence to name and claim my unique skills, refine my job search, and strengthen my CV and cover letters. I also learned to say ‘no’ to roles misaligned with my values, which was empowering. Meg is a fantastic facilitator, and the whole process was thoughtful and professional. I now feel confident, clear about my career path, and ready to grow."

Simone Cornelius
CIMA Associate | Cape Town, South Africa
"Initially, I was skeptical, especially with the abundance of self-help resources available today. However, my experience with Meg far surpassed my expectations. The insights & strategies I gained will be invaluable in both my professional and personal life. I wholeheartedly recommend Meg's coaching to anyone looking to elevate themselves. This experience has been transformative, and I regret not having done it sooner."

Mawandumusa Kheswa
Communications Officer | Durban, South Africa
"The experience was eye opening, making me focus on myself."

Emily Mudzingwa, PhD
Consultant | Minneapolis, USA
"What I found so beautifully refreshing about the coaching is that it helped me to look at my "next steps" more holistically, incorporating not only my skill set and academic training, but also my values and personality into the decision."
Have you hit a slump or plateau in your career?
Ready to level up or make a change but not sure how?
You’ve worked hard to build your career, but something feels off. Instead of growth and excitement, you feel stuck, frustrated, or undervalued — and unsure how to move forward.
Does any of this sound familiar?
You feel stagnant—like your career has stalled or hit a plateau.
You know you need a change, but fear and uncertainty keep holding you back.
You're watching others move forward while you feel left behind.
You want work that excites you again—where you feel valued, confident, and on the right path.
The longer you wait, the harder it gets.What will change if you don’t take action?


The Life By Design Toolkit will help you to get out of your rut, confidently take action, and build a career in which you can thrive!

Hey - I'm Meg
Over the past 8 years, I’ve helped 300+ professionals navigate career plateaus, align with their strengths, and build careers they love. Through 1,000+ coaching sessions, I’ve seen what works—and what keeps people stuck.But my experience is also firsthand.Coaching was a major career shift for me. I started out in the software industry in fact - ie computers, not people! And for the first 8 years of my working life, most of my jobs didn't even last a year. So I know how frustrating it is to feel like you're meant for more but don’t know how to get there.That’s why I’m so convinced these tools work—they’re the exact same tools that helped me get unstuck and build a career I truly love.That rollercoaster of life-learning led me to a few truths:
We each have a unique design. This combo of characteristics will be ignited in certain situations, contexts or jobs. And thereby sets us each up to do something great (though don’t assume “great” automatically equates to riches, fame or reach).
Self-awareness is about understanding that design. It’s an iterative, learning journey, but there are ways to help it along. Coaching, reflection and intentional action to name a few.
Living into your design =🔥🚀🙌 People that are aligned and ignited in their work are more creative, engaged and perform better. Intentionally pursuing the things that “ignite” you is the best path to more joy and fulfillment in all aspects of life.
My coaching practice is fueled by my faith in God, and my love for people. And by this serious, sincere, just-can’t-shake it conviction that everyone can and should thrive in both life and work.And that includes you.
"Meg is amazing! I went into our sessions feeling a little lost and unsure of my path. Her warm and supportive demeanor immediately put me at ease. She opened my eyes to my potential in ways I never thought possible. She has a real talent for seeing the best in people and helping them recognise their worth."

I evaluate the options against that framework and make sure my next move still aligns with those foundations of who I am and what's important to me. It's incredible how it's helped me to stay aligned and purposeful with each next step. The training was honestly pivotal for me, and I benefitted deeply from it.

Still Have Questions?
Here are a few of the most common ones.
The Life By Design Toolkit is designed for professionals just like you—people who feel stuck and want to gain clarity, confidence, and career direction. Whether you're looking for a promotion, a new role, or a complete career pivot, this system gives you the tools, insights, and strategy to make a smart, intentional move.
But every career journey is unique, and I want to make sure this is the right fit for you. That’s why we start with a free discovery call—so we can explore your goals, challenges, and whether this programme is the best path forward.
Most career coaching is conversation-based and lacks structure. This programme is different because it’s:
- Data-driven – Using science-backed assessments to give you clear, objective insights.
- Structured & actionable – A clear step-by-step system instead of just surface-level advice.
- Designed for long-term success – You walk away with tools you can use for every career decision moving forward.
Books, podcasts, and self-study are great for learning, and I always encourage ongoing growth. But when it comes to your unique career path, there are a few ways that they fall short:
🚫 Trial & Error is Costly – Figuring things out alone takes time, energy, and missed opportunities. Can you afford to stay stuck another 6-12 months hoping for clarity?
🚫 Books & Self-Study Aren’t Personalised – Generic career advice isn’t tailored to your strengths, values, or challenges—so what works for someone else might not work for you.
🚫 No Accountability = Less Action – Reading about career growth doesn’t mean you’ll actually take the right steps. Coaching ensures you apply what you learn in a way that fits your goals.
That’s exactly why the Life By Design Toolkit is structured as a focused, 5-week system—so you can make real progress without it taking over your life.
The goal is progress, not overwhelm:
- A focused and efficient system, giving you maximum clarity in a short time.
- Flexibility to fit the coaching sessions around your schedule.
- Accountability to help you stay on track without feeling overwhelmed.
I want you to feel fully confident in your investment. That’s why we start with a free discovery call to ensure the programme is the right fit for you before you commit. And if, by the end of the programme, you don’t have a clear next step and a personalised career strategy, I’ll offer two additional coaching sessions at no extra cost.
Many clients experience personal breakthroughs within the first few sessions—gaining new insights, deeper self-understanding, and greater clarity about what they truly want.
But this isn’t just about learning—it’s about taking action. From the very first session, I'll start challenging you to apply your insights to real-life situations and decisions, so you see meaningful applications right away.
This is where the fun really begins! After completing the 5-week journey, you’ll have the full toolkit, deeper self-awareness, and a clear roadmap—now it’s time to start applying everything to your life and seeing real change and growth.
- Get 60 days of follow-up support, including up to 3 additional coaching sessions to keep you on track and refine your plan as you take action.
- Have access to the full set of Bonuses—powerful career-building tools designed to help you navigate your next steps with clarity and confidence, supporting your growth long after the coaching ends.
- Start taking action! The Action Planning Workbook will guide you step by step, helping you break down your ideas into clear, achievable actions so you can move forward with confidence.
Most career advice focuses on what jobs are available, what skills are in demand, or how to "climb the ladder." But if you don’t understand who you are, what drives you, and where you thrive, it’s easy to end up in the wrong role—one that looks great on paper but leaves you feeling unfulfilled.
✅ Clarity = Smarter Career Moves – When you deeply understand your strengths, values, and ideal work environment, you can confidently choose opportunities that align with who you are.
✅ Less Stress, More Success – Working against your natural strengths and preferences leads to burnout. When you work with them, career growth feels energising and fulfilling instead of exhausting.
✅ Long-Term Career Confidence – Self-discovery isn’t just about your next career move—it gives you a lifelong decision-making framework for navigating every career shift with clarity.
The Life By Design Toolkit is designed for professionals who are ready to take control of their careers, gain clarity, and build a future they’re excited about. If you’re feeling stuck and want a structured, actionable way forward, this programme is designed for you.
✅ This is for you if you:
- Feel stuck, plateaued, or frustrated and know it’s time for a change.
- Want to be intentional about growing and building your career, instead of just drifting.
- Are willing to put in the work—reflecting, learning, and taking action.
- Want deeper self-awareness to align your career with your strengths and values.
- Are looking for tools you can use for years to come—not just a one-time fix.
❌ This is not for you if you:
- Expect an instant, magic-wand solution without effort.
- Want a quick, cheap answer handed to you instead of exploring your best path forward.
- Are content to stay on the same trajectory without growth or change.
- Aren’t looking to level up or challenge yourself to reach your full potential.
"I can highly recommend working with Meg. Not only have her sessions given me great insights, but I am also able to apply what I learned to my role at my work. Working with Meg is greatly encouraging, and she detects patterns and ideas that I would have not seen for myself."

Marketing Manager | Cape Town, South Africa
"My coaching with Meg was incredibly valuable. The assessment gave me insight into my unique strengths, but Meg took it further—helping me understand them on a deeper level and apply them to achieve my career goals. If you want to thrive at work and in life, I highly recommend this!
