Hi, I'm Heather Thompson, The Success Coach. As a certified career coach & trainer, I am deeply passionate about helping people globally make career transitions with clarity and confidence. I believe doing work that works for you will put you on the path to living your best life.

​

I've a deep history with work. I began working at thirteen years of age, painting gates for my dad and other local farmers. The next summer, armed with my first CV, I knocked on doors throughout my local town until I landed my first 'real' job packing shelves at a supermarket. When I graduated university, I had been in paid employment for ten years, while many of my peers were searching for their very first job. Post university, I spent fifteen plus years working in corporate, customer facing roles across the globe.

 

Growing up on a farm in rural Ireland meant I had an innate work ethic, and over the years I put a lot of care and attention into my career. During my corporate career, I earned multiple promotions in multiple roles, moved from individual contributor roles into management, leadership and ultimately senior leadership roles, reporting into CEOs. I was consistently recognised for exceptional performance by being nominated and winning awards, exceeding expectations in performance reviews and being tagged as a company top talent. This focus on my own career development helped me gain considerable skills in training, business mentorship, mindset, leadership, change management, coaching, recruitment, communication, sales and marketing, cross cultural management, collaboration, innovation, customer experience, diversity & inclusion, employee engagement, business growth, neurodiversity, systems and scale and strategic planning.

 

The only way I can describe it is that I loved my work, until I just didn't anymore. Rather, I wanted to work with individuals (like you) who are committed to making positive changes in their work. I help people remember who they are and want they truly want, and educate and empower them with the skills and mindset to make the positive changes that will allow them to thrive in business & life. When people talk about my legacy, I want them to say "She made them bigger. She made them better". 

 

One of my personal values is freedom, so setting up my own online career coaching business "The Success Coach", made perfect sense as an outlet to use what I have learned to help other people.

​​

And I have loads more ideas, dreams and goals -- I'm only getting started!
