ABOUT RICHARD EDGE
Most careers drift.The most fulfilled ones are designed.Over the past five years more than 400 professionals across 31 countries and 55 industries have worked with me through Careerships to navigate the moments that shape a career.Careerships focuses on the moments that shape a professional life. Difficult conversations. Strategic visibility. Leadership presence. Career transitions. And the judgement required to know when to move and when to stay.My background combines experience as a former HR Director, executive coach, keynote speaker and founder, allowing me to bring both organisational insight and practical career strategy to the work.The focus is always pragmatic: helping professionals think more clearly about their direction, strengthen their reputation and position themselves for opportunities that genuinely match their potential.Central to the work is helping people recognise the strengths and potential they may be underestimating, and giving them the clarity and confidence to act on it.Work typically includes:• Career progression strategy and long-term career planning• Executive coaching and leadership development• Networking strategy and stakeholder influence• Personal brand and professional visibility• Navigating promotions, transitions and leadership rolesAlongside advisory work, I lead the Careerships Alumni community, bringing together ambitious professionals through networking events, mastermind sessions and career development discussions.I am also a two-time TEDx speaker, delivering talks on career progression and leadership, including “The Truth About Career Progression.”If you are navigating an important career decision, exploring a transition or looking to create greater momentum in your professional life, feel free to connect.
