Today I catch up with Jenny Sharp. Jenny is a career coach who left a career as a computing teacher shortly after the pandemic to retrain as a life and business coach. 

She now enjoys a multi-faceted, blended career featuring coaching, counselling and mentoring, maths tutoring, and computing teacher education. 

In her coaching business she specialises in working with women who want help with their career confidence, motivation and direction. Her clients range from teachers to product owners and managing directors across the UK and beyond from her base in North Yorkshire.

We chat about:

• Jenny’s teaching journey
• Her decision to leave
• Working for STEM Learning
• Retraining as a coach
• The difference between coaching and mentoring
• Choosing the right coaching course
• Challenges and strategies for building a coaching business
