Redundancy Coaching

Don’t wait to reclaim your power

“Redundancy” is not a word we associate with sparkle and energy. It tends to come with an awkward, if not, pitiful look, or jokey comment to lighten the mood, or a ‘helpful’ instant fix.

For some individuals experiencing redundancy, it can feel:

Unpredictable
Uncertain
Disorientating

For others, it’s liberating and a chance to realign and grow.

No matter where you find yourself, Redundancy has the potential to bring overwhelming emotions: Loss of control, Disempowerment, Confusion, Fear, Powerlessness, Resentment.

I am here to remind you: Redundancy doesn’t define you. Redundancy doesn’t get to choose. You are still in the driving seat.

I specialise in Redundancy Coaching

I have combined my corporate and leadership experience, my experience of redundancy as a Leader and a leaver, and my expertise as a Coach to help individuals navigate this uncertain time.

Why? At first, it was an accident. The people who came to coaching had redundancy in their story. As these mounted up, the stories gave me proof that redundancy needs a forum so that power can be reclaimed, confidences restored and long-lasting effects stopped in their tracks. I have coached many people into new, superior roles, and career pivots. 

I am a person-led, Appreciative and Strengths-based Coach, with management and leadership background, providing support to people experiencing low stability, confidence or direction. 

Is this your opportunity to pause, reassess or redirect your career?
Do you need some help getting your sh*t together and your spark back?

I created Redundancy Rewire for you.

Keep reading.

You are so valuable!

It might feel like the rug has been pulled from under you. A sinking feeling and some self-doubt is real and very common, but thankfully, it isn’t the whole story.

You are talented, you are purposeful and you are relevant.

You are in control of how you react to this situation and move forward.

Don’t let what has been, dictate what comes next ~ there is a human need to process what has happened so we can then begin re-building your foundations.

Turn this pause into growth, self-discovery and fresh possibilities

The Emotional Weight of Redundancy

Redundancy doesn’t just affect your role, your routine and your finances — it can leave you grappling with:

A loss of belonging >>>
Your work family, the people you connected with daily, may no longer be part of your routine.

A loss of structure >>>
That sense of purpose and rhythm you once had can feel like it’s disappeared overnight.

A loss of control >>>
Sometimes the most crippling! Suddenly control is taken away, you become helpless to change your situation and the mind whirls. Decisions made for you, it’s natural to feel untethered in the aftermath.

These feelings are valid, but they are situational, temporary and you have the ability to create change even in situations that are un-initated.

I help you work through your short and long term actions, create new routines, and take control of your next chapter.

My Role As Your Coach:

Decipher emotions from fact: Separate how you feel from the reality of what’s happening. Clarity is a game-changer and a galvaniser to move forward. 

Identify your unique strengths and skills: You are more than your job title. We’ll uncover what makes you valuable and align it with what’s next.

Call out, challenge and change limiting beliefs: I’ll gently challenge unhelpful narratives holding you back, work through them with you (the hard bit), and provide guidance on creating lasting, positive mindset changes.

Help you untangle complex emotions: An emotionally turbulant time, this isn’t just a ‘practical’ situation. Your mind is responsible for so much. You’ll gain self-awareness, clarity, control, and feel capable again. You’ll feel YOU, again.

Keep you accountable: The biggest ‘outcome creator’ in the entire coaching toolkit! We often know what we should be doing. Actually doing it is another matter. Get me in your corner and I will ensure you move towards the outcome you want. 

Want to Pivot or Explore other paths?

Not everyone wants to jump straight back into the workplace after redundancy — and that’s okay!

This could be your chance to:

Explore a passion you’ve wanted to pursue but never had the time.

Make a pivot into a career that feels more aligned with your values, responsibilities and interests.

Reassess your options and find a slower, more intentional way of working and living.

We’ll create the space for you to pause, breathe, and truly consider what you want — without the pressure to follow the path you were on before. A safe space to speculate.

You Don’t Have To Do This Alone

As your coach, I’ll become your Thinking Partner, your Ally and your Cheerleader:

A constant in a changeable time

A sounding board for your thoughts 

A cheerleader to celebrate your wins, no matter how small

An accountability partner to keep you moving forward

My Coaching Style

Thought-provoking: I’ll challenge your thinking and inspire new perspectives

Supportive: You’ll have a safe and nurturing space to explore your feelings and beliefs – zero judgement, a very open and inclusive forum

Immersive: I get right into your problems with you, bring an outsider’s perspective in instantly, with authenticity and empathy

Innovative: I’m a creative thinker, a simplifier, and a great problem-solver 

Empowering: I’ll equip you with the understanding, tools, and confidence to boldly wade forward into achieving your goals – I’ll help you do you.

Unique: I champion “Walk & Talk” sessions as I love to move, I love nature and my coaching clients testimonials inform how freeing this format is: escaping routine to fuel bigger thinking. (However, I adore a fresh coffee & a foliage-filled-cafe, and virtual is all good, so you choose!)

With empathy and lived insight into redundancy, we create a deeper self-awareness that empowers you to process and progress. Coaching means having someone in your corner — a sounding board who keeps you accountable and on track.

You’ll leave each session feeling validated, energised, and capable. And those around you will notice the shift.

Kate Oates

Walk away from feeling redundant with my WALK & TALK format

I’m a huge advocate for combining neuroscience and nature which is why I love to walk and coach.

Using movement and nature boosts thinking power, physiologically getting more blood and oxygen to the brain and enabling our gray matter to process more optimally. My signature Coaching format, Walk & Talk Coaching, creates an open, freeing space to think, and, gets you out of the house, away from the source of stress, away from busy stimuli.

OPTIONAL NOT MANDATORY.
We can mix up formats, or avoid the walking boots entirely.
These sessions are for you.

Why Coach with me?

A Coach and a Coachee must feel like this could work. Once that’s confirmed, the reason I am great at this is because I know redundancy, I know human behaviour and I have been where you are. I have navigated redundancy from a leadership view point and a leavers viewpoint.
Add to that, I am an experienced, nurturing Coach, I bring 19 years of management, team development and leadership with me (because I couldn’t shake it off if I tried!) and I truly want your redundancy to be reflective, positive and last no longer than it needs to.

Please head to the ‘About Kate’ page to get to know a bit more about me there. Feel free to ask questions, connect via socials or grab a chat via a FREE Curiosity Call. 

I am person-led, empathetic, adaptable and intuitive. Naturally enthusastic, energetic, I am experienced and established in my career. I will challenge you in a supportive way and be your biggest supporter and ally in this complex process.

I will help you emerge from the uncertainty, as efficiently and enthusiastically as you can, back to financial security, purposeful work and aligned living.

All conversations are treated with total confidentiality.

Testimonials

It felt like arriving with a puzzle I thought I couldn’t complete on my own, and leaving with the full picture completed, having done the majority of the work.

Kate makes me feel capable.

Even now I am thinking differently, I haven’t thought about this in years, no, I have never though about this.

You are like a light-bulb, Kate

I come away from our chats feeling unburdened, enlightened and need time to take in what’s been said, which is good as I tend to skip over stuff in my head
