A better wayto work outwhat’s next
ShinyMe is a career development platform built on one idea: before you choose a next step, diagnose the real problem.
Most advice starts at the answer — a new CV, a new job title, a new course, a business plan.
ShinyMe starts a step earlier, working out what you actually want from work, why it matters to you, and how to realistically make it happen given any barriers and how you contribute.

I’m Holly, the meaningful work coach. BEng, MA Career Development, TEDx speaker.
I know how frustrating it can be to question what you’re meant to do with your life. If you’re unfulfilled and want to build a better life for yourself, just looking at a list of job titles, projects, qualifications, or business ideas doesn’t help you make the right decision.
Many people believe they have potential, but don’t know exactly what they want, why, how they can contribute, and realistically take action to make it happen. Research shows that greater wellbeing, earnings, and fulfilment are found in a sense of purpose and belonging.
ShinyMe is built to help more people do meaningful work and build working lives they can thrive in. Because meaningful work makes people, organisations, and society stronger.
It’s time to say

The ShinyMe Method
Three interconnected steps to the fulfilling work life you want and can sustain:
Mission
Start with who you are and what you uniquely bring.
Find the thread that connects your values to life experience and notice more possibilities.
Story
Express your voice and make your value visible.
Specify why, how, and what you can do, so that it’s obvious where you belong.
Power
Work out what it will take to make it real, fast.
Build the resilience, allies, relationships, and resources to make your impact real.
You don’t have to keep on
Struggling to take action
You know where thinking on your own and asking friends gets you – here.
What makes working with a coach so scary is it means doing something unknown. Our brains love certainty, and hate the unpredictable.
I want you to make well informed decisions about your future.
Meaningful work is found by taking safe action steps to get informed about your options, test ideas before committing to them, and build real life into your dreams.
My services keep you in control of your choices, without pressure or expectation from me. What you share is also confidential, and in this space it’s okay to express emotions, concerns, and fears. We’ll work with what’s present, whilst also moving towards your desired outcome.

Real shifts
I wish I’d done this sooner. In just a few weeks, I now have a clear understanding of what I want to do and most importantly why!
I’ve never been clearer on where I’m going and I’m really grateful to Holly for getting me off the starting blocks.
Without Holly’s support I wouldn’t have been nearly as successful in getting my dream job that I am working in now.
She helped me find my “why” and my mission.. no matter the job, the career change I now have a clearer direction!
Changing from the Hospitality sector to the Engineering sector would have been a lot more challenging without her support.
It was an amazing experience that helped me start trying different opportunities. I feel like a different person!
I cannot recommend Holly enough, her advice and guidance has been pivotal in getting me to where I am today.
Holly’s support was invaluable to me and ultimately was key in me being accepted onto an ESRC funded PhD.
Holly has been amazing, she helped me unlock the ability to dare to dream. Definitely recommend her!
