Juliette Dyke Coaching

Did you know that 42% of UK employees feel undervalued at work? According to a recent survey from Perkbox (Sept 2025), these employees also feel unmotivated (57%) and lacking in enthusiasm (47%). One in 3 are also considering leaving their jobs in the next year (34%).

This is BIG. Employers need to take notice if they want to avoid a major retention crisis.

I'd love to know what your experience is of current workplace culture. What would help you feel valued and supported at work?

I'm creating a new coaching service and need just 5 more responses to my anonymous research survey. So if you have a few minutes today and you currently work in a company, could you share your thoughts?

I'm very close to getting there but I want to make sure what I'm putting together is based on your genuine insights and experiences of current workplace culture.

Let's build this thing together! Just click here: https://forms.gle/CQ4zWkrW4HLwj4XC8

p.s And remember to message me if you are able to complete it (I won't know who has due to the anonymity) so I can send you a thank you gift from my coaching tool box

Hello! I'm creating some new coaching services for the workplace at the moment and putting my time and resources into making sure they're right.

I want to understand in greater depth what it really feels like at work right now, what's helping you thrive as well as what's missing.

If you have a permanent role in a company, I would be so grateful if you could complete this short 5min survey: https://forms.gle/R4Yt3GYc9zXmxCXQ8

This is a chance to share your views on workplace culture and is completely anonymous and confidential. Your insights are also key to me ensuring I bring you something really relevant and impactful.

Thanks in advance for taking the time, I appreciate it so much 🙏

p.s Because the survey is anonymous I won't know if you've completed it. But if you do, please send me a direct message so I can send you a little thank you gift from my coaching tool box 🎁

Are you preparing to go on maternity leave? Or want to return to work after kids but need some support? Would you like to be my case study?

I'm super excited to be doing some extra professional training over the next couple of months in Parental Transition Coaching.

Did you know that 46% of mothers feel that employers lack empathy for working parents and 40% of mothers find confidence a barrier when considering returning to work? (source: parentandprofessional.co.uk)

This is an area of career coaching that I feel really passionately about and want to be able to support more women going through this challenging transition in their professional lives.

I am looking for two people who would be happy to work with me as case studies. I'll be offering two free coaching sessions each in exchange for being able to record the sessions and/or use them as an anonymised case study for my training (the session recording would also be completely confidential and disposed of when no longer required).

Coachees would ideally be at one of these points along the parental transition journey:

-Currently pregnant/expectant parents-to-be
-Newly adoptive parents
-Currently on parental leave
-Have returned to work within the last 6 months

If you are interested or know someone who might be, feel free to send me a message and I can give you more details and set up an initial free call to chat further 😊

Meet Melanie Ostler an amazing former client of mine who has made an inspiring career change from jewellery buyer and exhibition organiser to becoming a successful jewellery designer in her own right 💎💍

In my latest newsletter she shares her thoughts on how her personal version of ‘success’ has changed over time and her to advice for anyone else starting a career change journey: https://open.substack.com/pub/juliettedyke/p/am-i-there-yet?r=1sgwr2&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcome=true

Any of these sound like you?

It could be that you’ve been making some common rookie mistakes such as:

-Sending random job applications without tailoring them to the role
-Your message to recruiters and potential employers about what you’re looking for is too vague
-You’ve used up your best contacts too soon (before you know exactly what you’re looking for)
-You’re hiding behind your computer and over relying on online jobs boards and sending emails

If any of these sound familiar then don’t worry. They’re very common mistakes that even experienced candidates can make, and it’s perfectly possible to turn things around quickly and make a fresh start with a positive, productive approach.

My brand new Job Search Coaching Package can help turbocharge your job hunt in just two hours and teach you how to:

-Create an impressive CV and LinkedIn profile which open doors
-Feel confident talking about yourself to contacts and potential employers
-Research what options are available to you and avoid over relying on online job ads
-Leverage your network to hear about jobs that aren’t advertised
-Reframe your fears around ageism and how to present yourself as a valuable asset to an employer
-Feel more motivated and be more productive in your job search
-Translate your career dream into a real, sustainable job role

In my first post for 2024, I try and tackle some of the myths around new year goal setting and how the power of thinking long can help to take the pressure off. Also there's a fab new gratitude exercise and my usual roundup of careers resources and tips in .

In case you missed it, here's the recording of my Facebook Live this morning with the lovely Jane from Careering Into Motherhood group where we discussed all things to do with making a midlife career change. Enjoy!

Absolutely loved the Firework Career Coaching Masterclass last week led by coaching legend John Lees who was teaching us all about the '4 hour job search'.

I am trained in the 12 step Firework Coaching Method and use it with all my private career change clients to help them find the perfect job fit for them. It's a powerful and effective programme but it does take a couple of months to work through.

However if you're someone who is already 100% clear on the job you're looking for, then these new techniques are going to be perfect for helping you get faster, more impactful results during your job search. Keep an eye out for them becoming part of my coaching services very soon!

And thanks to coach Rachel Schofield for facilitating an amazing session as always! 👏

Next Monday's newsletter is all about the stories that we tell ourselves when it comes to making a career change.

These stories or fears are the things that we often hear going round and round in our heads like:

"It’s too late for me"

"Career happiness is for other people"

"I don't even know what I'm good at"

"What if I fail / What if I burn out?"

I hear these stories from clients all the time when we first start working together, so in the next newsletter I've also included a free coaching exercise which is going to help you:

a) identify what they are
b) unblock them
c) let them go

Sign up here and let me know how you get on with the exercise!✍️ https://juliettedyke.substack.com/

According to research, 31 is the average age that workers look to change careers.

A survey of over 5000 workers found that employees around this age are much more likely to consider a change of role or even industry. This is because they've been in work for over a decade by this point.

The top reasons cited were better earnings (33%), wanting a role they're more passionate about (31%) and better work/life balance (19%).

In my coaching practice, I speak to clients all the time who are feeling motivated to change careers because of a landmark birthday or significant life event. Their 30th, 40th or 50th birthday may be approaching or has passed, or they are thinking of starting a family, or they are on maternity leave and planning a return to work.

Some have taken a much longer break out of their careers to care for their kids or older parents, and now want to finally reclaim their professional selves. But so much time has passed since they were last in work that they need some help figuring out who they are now, what they want from their careers and how to re-enter the workforce.

Going forward, I want to really focus on the thrills and challenges of making a midlife career change. After all, I went through one myself and have never looked back, but I do remember how scary it was when I first started thinking about it.

I'm going to be sharing lots more written posts on this topic, useful links, book and podcast recommendations, and Q&A's with clients who have made a midlife career change themselves, to give you inspiration and encouragement that you can do it to!

Am really looking forward to getting stuck in to this topic, sharing lots more conversation with you and helping you navigate this tricky but exciting change.
