Blue Sky Career Consulting was first established in February 2000 by Janice Taylor. Janice is a professional career consultant with twenty years combined experience in industry, adult and further education, training and development.

Janice has successfully delivered Career Development workshops and individual coaching programmes within the BBC, London School of Economics, British Airways, Learning and Skills Improvement Service and Brighton and Hove Council.

Her approach as a career consultant is firstly to work in partnership with you, her client to clarify what needs to be achieved. This then enables her to work with the required group/individual, to ask the questions that will facilitate change and action and expand their thinking.

Specialising in career and work issues Janice helps each individual/group to review their career and working life, research and explore their options and take steps towards change with renewed energy and focus. She strongly values the ability of each individual to take control and ownership of their working lives and careers. With an acute awareness of her own resilience and ability to ‘grow through adversity’ Janice has developed expertise in helping people to maintain energy and focus during challenging times.

As a coach and facilitator her expertise lies in getting people to:

• Take a step back and think more strategically
• Recognise and celebrate their strengths and talents
• Think clearly and constructively about their situation
• Keep focussed and on track, doing what needs to be done

She does this by:

• Challenging client’s in a respectful and compassionate way
• Offering perspective and a framework for achieving clarity
• Providing a safe and supportive environment for people to take risks
• Encouraging and promoting resilience
• Helping clients to put events into perspective and move on
