“Sabina’s coaching has completely turned my professional life around. Our time together coincidentally spanned across myself going through recruitment, while in a previous role, all the way through to starting a new role in a new company.”

Emily Bergün, Media & Broadcast Technology Specialist

The Challenge

After more than seven years in broadcast engineering, Emily had built the career she’d worked hard towards. She was experienced, respected by her colleagues and trusted to solve complex problems. On paper, things were going well. But underneath that professional success, she had begun to feel increasingly stuck and unsure of herself.

Decisions became something to overanalyse rather than trust herself to make. Meetings that once felt routine began to drain her confidence, and she found herself questioning her judgement and abilities. The more she second-guessed herself, the harder it became to see clearly what was working, what needed to change, and what she actually wanted from the next stage of her career.

At the same time, Emily was navigating recruitment and considering the possibility of moving into a new role. She didn’t necessarily need to start her career again — she needed the space to step outside the noise, understand the patterns that were holding her back, and reconnect with the confidence she had built over years of experience.

The Approach

Through my C³ Framework — Curiosity, Confidence & a Clear Way Forward — we created space for Emily to step back from the immediate pressures of work and look more closely at what was really happening beneath the self-doubt.

We explored what was and wasn’t working in both her professional and personal life, using reflective exercises and coaching conversations to uncover patterns she hadn’t been able to see clearly on her own. By questioning some of the beliefs and behaviours that were keeping her stuck, Emily began to reconnect with her strengths, values and the experience she had already built.

As her confidence grew, our focus shifted towards what she wanted next. Together, we clarified her priorities, worked through decisions around recruitment and a new role, and turned those insights into practical steps forward. The goal wasn’t to give Emily the answers, but to help her trust herself to find them — and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Whether you’re looking for coaching for yourself, your team or your organization, I’d love to hear what you’re navigating and explore how we could work together.

The Outcome

Today, Emily is thriving in a new role and approaching her career with a renewed sense of confidence and direction. She has learned to trust her own judgement, recognise the patterns that previously kept her stuck, and make decisions based on what genuinely matters to her.

More importantly, the coaching process gave Emily tools she can continue to use beyond our work together — helping her navigate challenges with greater self-awareness, clarity and confidence as her career continues to evolve.
