mid-life career transition
My talent is helping you find and talk about yours.
I'm a talent coach and career transition guide. In my previous chapter, I spent 25 years working in Human Resources for a well-known multinational organisation where I held various European and global leadership roles. My years in global talent management gave me a unique insight into how organisations attract, develop, and promote talent in line with their strategy and future capability needs. I advise my clients on how to own their talent and navigate their career crossroads keeping in mind the employer's perspective as well. The style of support I offer is nourishing, rejuvenating, and liberating. I go beyond traditional career coaching, helping them reground themselves with who they are, what makes them special and uncopiable to design their future from there.
I’m passionate about midlife career transition.
In my corporate life, I kept hearing stories from colleagues, of all backgrounds and cultures, about how career progression slows down and job opportunities become harder to find beyond a certain age. This always bothered me from a diversity and inclusion aspect, but it wasn’t until I read The 100-Year Life by Lynda Gratton and Andrew J. Scott, professors of the London School of Economics, that I realised how the rise in life expectancy has created unique opportunities for us to redefine what we want the next chapters of our lives to look like in terms of health, wealth, and work.
As the 2020 Longevity Trends Report and other research shows, we are living longer and need to find ways to learn and earn longer, too. This means embracing new career models that will better serve us throughout our lives.
When I decided to make my own career change, I made it my mission to use these insights to help others figure out what their careers could look like today, tomorrow, and for years to come.

"Working with Gyongyver was a lifechanging experience in many ways.
She has an exceptional sensitivity to recognize the client's unique talent which I had been previously unaware of. Gyongyver helped me in the process of rediscovering myself, celebrate the past and made me deeply think about my priorities, future goals. Surprisingly, for me resulted in a complete reiteration of my career path in which I am certain and determined to pursue. I am grateful for Gyongyver's help and recommend her."

"Having known Gyongyver for several years, I have huge respect and admiration for the professional and the beautiful human being she is. Amongst several assets, Gyongyver is in possession of unusual levels of emotional intelligence and empathy paired up with a witty sense of humour. I have just completed a career transition programme with her and undoubtedly endorse it to anyone considering a deeply reflective and potentially life changing exercise of its kind."

"Gyongy is a truly inspirational coach. She has an amazing ability to help people find their sparkle and shine. This is something she helped me with when I had a challenging year. I would highly recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation."

"I can provide first-hand examples of the fantastic support and guidance Gyongy can provide to senior leaders who are trying to discover: what's next? Through her wonderful approach, acute observations, wit, creativity, and compassion, she helped me find my purpose, define my superpowers, identify what I can bring to the table, and then visualise the path to follow. Her passion for helping you find a purpose is contagious, which makes a process that could be quite stressful (recreating yourself) much easier."
