A high standard of ethics, professionalism and integrity underpins everything we do. We value honesty, authenticity and taking responsibility for our actions.
Delivering a high standard of career support is important to us. We are always looking at ways to improve and aim to deliver 'best practice' career support services.
We are dedicated to supporting career development. We believe everyone possesses valuable strengths and talents with the capacity to reach their full potential.
While Lisa LaRue is the principal career coach at CareerWorx, increased capacity is often required to successfully deliver larger projects.
The team is made up of carefully selected coaches and career development professionals with specialisms in occupational and organisational psychology, learning and development and career transition.
For larger projects, we have access to a UK based and international team of highly qualified, seasoned executive and leadership coaches ready to support leaders and emerging leaders across all sectors including corporate, NGO and third sectors.
I’m passionate about human flourishing and use coaching, training and mentoring to help people achieve fulfilling careers they love. My approach is integrative, strengths-based, and solution-focused. I bring empathy, humour, compassion, creativity and curiosity, partnering with you to co-create your ideal life and career.
I am an EMCC-Accredited Master Practitioner Coach and CDI-Registered Career Development Professional (RCDP) with over 20 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings including consulting for organisations (corporate and NGOs), career services, and education & training. I’m driven by a genuine passion for helping people perform at their best and achieve fulfilling careers that enable them to flourish.
With extensive training in the field of career and executive coaching, I have supported thousands of individuals through one-to-one and group programs to have amazing careers. I’ve coached people from a wide range of sectors including IT, engineering, banking and finance, arts and culture, education, retail, hospitality, tourism, and healthcare. I also have experience in the third sector where I have coached and provided outplacement support to people at all levels.
Clients describe me as being engaging, supportive and professional with the ability to expertly partner with them to navigate their way to career success. But don’t just take my word for it, check out a selection of client testimonials many of which are publicly available as Recommendations on LinkedIn and Google reviews.
I am also a trained and experienced entrepreneur coach with many years’ international experience in helping people launch and grow their businesses.
As an active member of the CDI, the Association for Coaching (AC), and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC), I am also an EMCC accredited Master Practitioner Coach (EIA) & Coach Supervisor (ESIA).
As a registered Career Development Professional (RCDP) with the Career Development Institute (CDI), I am recognised as a professional career coach and am bound by a high level of ethical standards. I am an advocate for lifelong learning and committed to my ongoing career development to ensure my practice remains relevant and up to date.
I lead the EMCC UK’s Career Coaching and Mentoring special interest group supporting the continuing development of professional career coaches and mentors.
Special interests and training: Positive psychology, solution-focused coaching, cognitive behavioural coaching and strengths-based coaching. I have also completed post-graduate studies in the areas of leadership, management, business and performance coaching.
I fully subscribe to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and regularly attend continuing professional events to maintain a high level of understanding of the underpinning principles of many organisations’ ESG goals.
I have a strong interest in career happiness, well-being and performance which has led me to conduct doctoral research into psychological flow and its impact on well-being and performance part-time at Tampere University.
I founded CareerWorx in 2004 to provide high-quality, comprehensive career support for individuals and organisations. I was previously employed as a specialist career coach and consultant because of my qualifications, talents, and track record of success. However, I became frustrated and felt that I was merely helping people find quick and temporary fixes for their career challenges rather than sustainable solutions that would enable them to thrive.
As a career coach in private practice, I was finally able to utilise my full range of career counselling and coaching skills, bringing maximum value to my clients. The previous band-aid approach I was forced to take in earlier roles was replaced with evidence-based, proven strategies, and I was able to provide the carefully tailored, comprehensive support so many of my clients needed.
Since then, I’ve accumulated over 5,000 coaching hours, working with hundreds of clients in the UK and around the world to achieve successful, fulfilling careers they love. Over the years, I’ve partnered with other expert career coaches to deliver career development programmes, training and outplacement support with great success and lots of positive feedback. I also established a social enterprise to provide career support to under-served individuals in the UK, which was highly successful, attracting funding from local authorities, the Skills Funding Agency, and the EU.
CareerWorx has provided career support to people not just in the UK and across Europe, but in Latin & North America, Asia and Australia/NZ. Having lived and worked in Australia, the UK, Finland, France and Sweden, I understand what it’s like to be an expat or immigrant and the accompanying challenges. I’ve also worked with repatriate UK citizens, helping them restart their careers after living abroad.
