Leah Lambart

Career & Interview Coach/Director, Melbourne

I commenced my career working as a Tax Consultant with a Big 4 accounting firm, KPMG. I didn’t ‘choose this career’, instead, I drifted into it because I didn’t know what else to do. For many years I was unmotivated and disengaged, counting down the minutes to 5 pm and living for the weekends. Yes, I have been there too....

Having experienced several career changes since then, and a significant career break, I understand the stages required to make a successful ‘relaunch’. I also understand the fears associated with such a change – the fear of the unknown, the fear of what others will think, the fear of having little to offer and the fear of giving up everything you have worked for. Those fears are real and I understand what it takes to overcome them.

My own career journey took 20 years and I can finally say that I genuinely love what I do. With hindsight, I believe that this journey may have been more direct had I received professional career advice along the way. This is now what inspires me to help my clients find the work that they were ‘meant to do’.

With 10+ years’ experience working in recruitment/HR and more than 12,000 coaching hours under my belt, I have had great exposure to different industries and careers and understand what it takes to transition from one career to another. I have also gained great insight into what hiring managers are looking for during the recruitment process. My biggest passion is sharing this knowledge with my clients and coaching them ‘to think like a recruiter’.

I am also the mother of three busy teenagers and two border collies, so I understand the need to find the balance between a fulfilling career and family/financial commitments. I will work with you to give you the clarity, confidence and courage to successfully ‘relaunch’ your career.

Lyndsay Shaw

Interview & Leadership Coach, Sunshine Coast

Growing up, Lyndsay always knew that she wanted a meaningful career that involved helping others and still allowed space and flexibility for family, friends and outdoor adventures. Unfortunately, she let fear get in the way of her decision and like many other school leavers, she was convinced by her family to take the safe option and study to be a Chartered Accountant for KPMG. ...

Seven years later, Lyndsay found herself managing large audits for investment banks. Every day was stressful and exhausting, and she was definitely not living a balanced life. It was at this point that she consciously questioned whether she was on the right path, and of course the answer was, no. After a period of reflection to understand her values, personality and strengths, Lyndsay knew she wanted to be more people focused. She used her insights to move into Human Resources and lead the Graduate Development Program for KPMG South Africa. For the first time since starting work, she arrived on a Monday with a spring in her step. Sunday blues were a thing of the past and she was finally on the right path!

Over the last 15 years, Lyndsay has managed Graduate Programs, Senior Talent Programs and Leadership Programs in both professional services and investment banks across South Africa and Australia. She has gained a wealth of experience in using MBTI based tools to coach young graduates and senior leaders into the right careers and has seen thousands of candidates go through highly competitive selection processes. Lyndsay knows what it takes to successfully navigate video screenings, gamification, assessment centres and case study interviews.

In addition to moving countries and relaunching in a new environment, Lyndsay has had to deal with her own autoimmune health challenges too. Understanding the value of transferable skills along with the need to create balance, match energy levels, and build sustainable resilience is central to Lyndsay’s career philosophy.

“There are many careers that we can do in terms of skills and capability, but we only get energy when we make the choices based on values and natural fit”. Lyndsay brings a practical approach to navigating career processes and decisions. She is excited to help young talent successfully navigate selection processes and to support those looking to ‘relaunch’ their careers in a sustainable way after having children or suffering health setbacks.
