Becky Kilsby Career Change Coach

human-centred career redesign in the AI era

Create the work life you really want

 


Supporting professionals through mid-career pivots and later life transitions, I help you redesign work and life around meaning, fulfilment and contribution.

You may be worried that AI is making your expertise less relevant, or wondering how to make the final chapter of your career the best yet.

In both cases, I bring the focus back to YOU and what you really want and need to feel fully alive and purposeful in what you do and how you do it.


Explore my two flagship programmes

The Quickstep Career Change Programme

The mid-career pivot towards greater fulfilment, alignment and purpose

You may be here because:

* you are successful but unfulfilled

* craving more meaningful work

* experiencing disconnect or heading towards burnout

* worrying about AI encroaching on your role

* you’re asking ‘Is this really it?’

 
 

The Legacy Chapter

Design a transition towards retirement that combines expertise, passion and purpose

This is for you if you are:

* approaching retirement and wondering ‘what now?’

* seeking meaning and contribution in a redesigned life

* looking for significance after a successful career

* seeking purpose after a life of achievement

Wave goodbye to procrastination and fear, and start creating a future that truly expresses who you are today.

Set up your initial Career Crossroads Call to start building the future you really want - even if you don’t know what that looks like yet!

Clients’ stories

I had reached a crossroads in my life and wanted to invest time and energy into exploring new pathways. Becky’s coaching programme was perfect.

Working with Becky has been a truly insightful experience. Before our sessions, I felt stuck and uncertain about my career path. Becky’s guidance, practical strategies, and genuine encouragement (I really felt like she was rooting for me!), have helped me gain clarity, build confidence, and take realistic steps toward my next chapter. 
I would highly recommend Becky to anyone whether it’s seeking direction, making a change or just taking stock of your current career path.

Using her career change programme, Becky guided me through the overwhelming list of work options I was considering, encouraging me to think deeply about my values and aspirations. 

Whilst it’s not an easy process, it’s been great having someone to help me to organise and prioritize these steps into something actionable.
— James V. (France)
I’m delighted to say that 2 months after my first meeting with Becky, I have just been offered a job that, for the first time, I am truly excited about. It was a lovely moment when I was offered the job and my new manager said she felt I was a perfect fit, and I felt the same.
— Mike Sheppard, Bristol, uk
I’ve recently completed Becky’s Quickstep Career Change Programme because I found myself wondering where to go next, what to focus on, and feeling generally overwhelmed and a little lost in my career.

— Kit Pascoe, UK
I now have all I need – by implementing the skills and attitudes I gained on the Quickstep Career Change Programme, I have the chance to realise my ideal life.

How to reclaim your life

With three successful career changes under my belt and ten years of career change coaching experience with professionals around the world, I understand through practice and lived experience how career reinvention works.

It’s rarely about a panicky scramble for a new job. Nor is it about following the traditional career ladder - that’s gone missing (you might have noticed!)

It’s actually about greater self-awareness, much greater clarity about what you’re aiming for, and the self-belief and energy those bring you to create a workable and motivating transition plan to get you there in the age of AI.

My work blends practical career and life redesign with deeper reflection around your values, strengths, identity, purpose, and meaningful contribution. Knowing yourself well empowers you to persuade others how you can help solve today’s problems, alongside AI and leaning into your particularly human strengths.

 
 

Life’s just too short to put up with work that drains you and leaves you asking: Is this really it?

My answer quite simply is NO - don’t settle! You can do so much more.

The process has felt very seamless and deep, and I can see what a big impact it’s had on my sense of self, purpose and how I want to move forward professionally. Becky’s experience in working with clients on career change is really invaluable, and I’ve felt completely safe in her hands knowing that she always has the right tool or wisdom to apply to any specific situation or dilemma.
— R.D. (USA)
The effortless way Becky ‘translated’ my written reflections and spoken thoughts was magical.
— Alan Samuel, Rhayader, Wales

Career Clarity Mini Sessions

This series of career coaching sessions have been designed to answer today’s key worries that are surfacing as the world of work undergoes a pretty seismic transformation.

If any of these questions have been on your mind, my two-session process will help you find the answers you need to embrace new opportunities on your own terms.

* If my job becomes largely automated, what else can I do?

* I have generated a huge range of potential career options (using AI!!) but don’t know which to choose

* I can’t see any realistic options that are open to me

* I’m afraid to take a risk and change direction, even though I’m stagnating where I am

* I actually have no idea what I want

* The world is changing so fast it’s hard to know how to future-proof my career

* I’ve lost trust in my own judgment and my place in this changing world

* I have an idea but can’t stop procrastinating

When you have answered these questions, you will have the clarity that builds confidence to take action. You will know what’s next for you and why that is a great fit for you.
