Career Coach Bristol | Kenber Career Coaching

Hi, I’m Chris Kenber, a Bristol-based business and career coach. Whether you are planning a career change or need help refining and adjusting your career path – I’m here to help you. I am the coach in your corner, helping you formulate a plan, set goals and then take steps to achieve them.

What is a Career Coach?

If you want to improve your abilities on the football pitch, you hire a football coach. If you’re a boxer, you have a boxing coach. And if you are looking for career advancement, a coaching programme will help.

Like any other coach, a career coach is someone on your side. Someone to help you determine your goals and set a plan for achieving them. Do you know your next full-time career move? Do you know how to reach it? Have you got someone to help you adjust your plan and adapt?

If you’re ready to develop a game plan for your career and want someone to help you navigate it, a career coach is perfect for you.

Are These Coaching Sessions Right For You?

The fact you’re reading this is the first sign you’re thinking of your career plan. But you’re still on the fence about working with a career coach, ask yourself:

Am I feeling unhappy or unfulfilled in my current job?
Have I been overlooked for promotion once too often?
Do I want to achieve a better work/life balance?
Could I use my skills and expertise in a better way?
Do I want to change career but am unsure which direction to take?

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!

According to HR Magazine, 60% of us are unhappy in our jobs.

But how many of us do anything about it? Moaning to friends and loved ones about how unhappy you are is not going to change anything. Real change requires action! My career counselling sessions will help you to explore your concerns. They aim to empower you to make the life changes you have been putting on the back-burner for far too long.

About Your Career Coaching Sessions

Talking in confidence to someone outside work who is objective and independent will enable you to take charge of your career and take it in the direction you want.

The sessions that we have will give you space, support and clarity. Through them, they’ll help you review your skills, decide what you really want and explore all your options logically and methodically. This makes job searching easier, as we can identify the best routes for your life and career.

Together we’ll devise a plan that outlines step-by-step how to achieve lasting change and get you to where you want to be.

Very few things are impossible, and you can achieve almost anything if you are determined to do so. You don’t want to be saying ‘If Only’ and ‘Why Didn’t I?’ when instead you could be saying ‘I’m So Glad I Did’ and ‘Best Decision Ever’.

A one-to-one session will help ensure you take control of your own destiny and make a series of great decisions. Helping you reach your career goals and land your dream job. How empowering will that feel?

Chris has been instrumental in me getting a new job, he gave me the confidence I was once lacking and I start my new job soon so a massive thank you from me.

Rew Lowe

Chris provided a calm, clear-sighted and gently challenging forum for me to explore and question my next steps after a period of transition, the outcome of which was a clear plan about my next steps, which I'm enthused and confident in approaching. Thanks, Chris!

Holly

I started working with Chris because I desperately needed some help with my career options, after experiencing high stress and burnout in my current role as a frontline senior social worker. I couldn't really see what my way out of the sector would be and although I knew I had some transferable skills, I wasn't able to really quantify what they were or where I would even begin to change career. Chris' approach was kind, empathetic and encouraging, but very practical too. He was able to see things that I couldn't e.g. when I was thinking about certain roles being a 'maybe' and dithering over derails, he detected something that would ultimately make it a yes or a no, which was the push I needed. He also gave advice and tips on how to use AI to search for roles, which has been so helpful and as someone who was a bit fearful of AI, I am much more confident using it now for this purpose. It was too much to take on myself to have to adapt CVs manually for different roles, so I am grateful for his advice on this. Overall, I have left the sessions feeling much clearer on what roles would suit my skill set and more confident on how to approach job applications. Would highly recommend to anyone needing career coaching. Thank you Chris!

Chris is an excellent coach! Through his guidance, I’ve made meaningful changes and experienced real breakthroughs. Chris creates a supportive and trusting space that feels safe but still encourages growth. He is warm, empathetic, and a great listener. I always feel genuinely heard and understood. Chris remembers key points from our conversations and brings them up at just the right moments, it always feels thoughtful and helps keep me moving forward. His coaching techniques are practical, effective, and deeply encouraging. I truly feel supported every step of the way.

Rosie P

Chris is an outstanding coach. He helped me discover and explore an eye-opening array of career opportunities that would suit my personality and skill set. I now have next steps, what to do if it goes wrong and an overview of what I want from my entire career. It has been incredibly beneficial, a hugely positive experience and I will most certainly return to Chris when interviews crop up. Thank you!

Sophie Rothero

Chris was a fantastic listener with a warm manner that immediately put me at ease. His gentle approach to questioning really helped me reflect and narrow down what was most important for my next steps for my future career. Supportive, insightful and highly recommended!

Jos Edge

Chris I am so grateful to have found you. I am clearer, more organised and feel so excited about my future. Coaching with you has been a pleasure and a profoundly worthwhile experience. Seriously, I would pay double . You have come up with suggestions that have made me money and suggestions that have saved me money. Thank you for your patience, understanding, ideas and ability to 'get' me. (don't raise your prices please 😂).

Jai van den bosch

Chris is a great coach. He really helped me thrash through some decision making and was a very helpful sounding board. Great questioning and always encouraging. The kind of guy you wish you always had by your side. Recommended.

William Lane

Working with Chris has been an incredibly beneficial process to my career, future and life. I was at a heavy crossroads with which direction my career should take and I felt stagnant and unable to see a clear heading forward. Chris listened carefully to my story, probed right into the crux of the problem and then took me through the process to discover of what I was truly looking for. He used some very useful techniques and exercises that meant I could clearly establish the right job I am looking for. I will continue to use these exercises later in my life too. He then also held me accountable to the direction I had chosen and made sure I had a clear step by step process to get me moving. I'm very thankful for his services he is a great coach using humour and direct questioning to really help me on my career path. Would highly recommend. Thanks Chris!

Chris’s support has been very beneficial in so many ways. He is respectful with challenging my thinking, getting me to see different perspectives and to become more introspective when needed. He has the ability to maintain a positive and encouraging environment to help me grow as an individual. Is a great soundboard from his skill to make you feel completely safe and at ease. I would highly recommend Chris as a coach.
