Coaching far exceeded my expectations. It helped me feel confident, motivated and more prepared and open to different challenges. People have commented on the difference in my clarity and confidence! Coaching from My So-Called Career is the best career investment I’ve ever made!
-BW, Innovation Lead
Read MoreWhen I first met Penny, I was completely lost and unmotivated in my career. Our sessions were like being in front of a very bright and responsive mirror that helped me realise who I am and how I get my energy, and empowered me to take small, and then bigger steps, to climb out the box I’d retreated into. I would highly recommend My So-Called Career and Penny’s coaching to anyone.
- LW, Strategist
Read MoreWorking with Penny has been one of the most valuable commitments I have made. Her commitment and personal attention to detail is second to none, a constant encouragement amongst the noise. To meet someone whose intentions are purely for your gain is so rare in this working world. I highly recommend!
– Executive Producer
Read MoreI worked with Penny to address some big career questions that I had been struggling with for several years. From the beginning, she identified the key challenges and themes in my personal and professional life. She helped me to come to a series of critical realizations about what I truly valued, what I wanted next out of my career and how to set myself up on a path that was right for me. What was so unique about her counsel, was her ability to lead me to the answers without telling me what do. With prodding questions, relevant exercises and guiding wisdom, she helped me to find my own way to conclusions that could help me move forward.

Read MoreI've been on a number of corporate 'career development' courses. They were generally professional, but rarely resulted in actual change. My So-Called Career is in a completely different league. The way the sessions are run and the materials you work with lead to a very personal experience – often eye-openingly so. The advice and insight from Penny are razor-sharp, and demonstrate her deep experience and passion for helping people. I was one of a cohort of ambitious, honest, interesting and smart women, a group that I feel lucky to be part of, and a network I hope will last long past the end of the course.

Read MoreI was lucky enough to be a member of MSCC's first cohort and from the very first workshop knew I'd come to the right place for career guidance. The combination of in-person meetings and independent learning allows you complete the course at your own pace with a great support network around you. I can't think of an area of my career and goals that I haven't worked on in the past 10 weeks, including some I had never thought about. The whole programme has been invaluable and left me feeling inspired and optimistic.
-LO, Freelance Journalist
Read MoreI joined the My So-Called Career Cohort looking for guidance on how to make a big change, and hoping for a sounding board not connected to my company. I got both (and much more!). I decided to leave the company where I've spent the last 13 years. I'm not doing it immediately, but I am going to do it. And I feel good about that decision. This experience was invaluable to me and I wish it wasn't over.
-AH, Editor
Read MoreThe My So-Called Career Cohort exceeded my expectations. The leadership and program was so informative and engaging. Penny challenged me to step outside of my fear and to just go for it. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of such a special group of women.
-JP , Senior Associate & Domain Expert
Read MorePenny is a clear and calm voice of reason in the storm of guilt, overwhelm and self loathing that I have been experiencing in my first year as a freelancer. Within the first ten minutes of our session she’d assured me that what I was experiencing was common and not a sign of my own ineptitude. I’ve left with a spring in my step and a clear plan of what I need to do moving forward.
- ES, Freelance Journalist
Read MoreThe My So-Called Career philosophy and approach are so refreshing in a world of overwork and overwhelm. Penny excels at offering honest, practical and personal guidance and has a strong motivation to help others succeed and do well.
– LW, small business owner
Read MoreWorking with Penny helped me articulate not only what I want to do, but why. I can now clearly identify what the right opportunities are, instead of applying to jobs simply because they are available or ones I “could” do. I would recommend My So-Called Career to anyone looking to make a career change, or seeking career clarity.
