Hi. I'm Roland Howell.
Ever feel like your career's on autopilot, even though you're working harder than ever? Yeah, I get it. For years, I climbed the tech ladder, building impressive projects for big clients. It looked great on LinkedIn, but deep down, something was missing. The challenges felt superficial, the sense of purpose elusive. I was pushing myself, but the fulfilment just wasn't there.
​
As a young professional, you're facing unique pressures: navigating workplace politics, proving your worth, and balancing ambition with personal life. I experienced those same struggles. I realised I was chasing a career that wasn't truly aligned with my values, and it was throwing my work-life balance completely off-kilter. I knew I needed to make a change.
​
That's why I became a career coach, specifically focused on empowering young professionals like you. I believe your early career years should be a time of growth, purpose, and genuine fulfilment. But I also know how overwhelming it can be to navigate the complexities of today's job market.
​
I partner with ambitious young professionals to overcome the challenges holding them back. Whether you're struggling with career direction, feeling stuck in a dead-end job, battling imposter syndrome, or trying to find that elusive work-life balance, I'm here to help. It's not just about landing the next job; it's about building a sustainable, fulfilling career trajectory. I've helped clients develop a growth mindset, create strategic career plans, improve leadership skills, build stronger professional relationships, and much more.
​
Coaching is my passion, and I'm dedicated to helping young professionals unlock their potential and create careers they love. It's a privilege to guide you on your journey to achieving your professional dreams.
Services
Nervous about hiring a career coach? You're not alone! That's why I keep my approach simple and focused on you. Sure, there's science and tools behind what I do, but the real magic happens when we partner together.
​
We'll kick things off with an intro chat to see if we're a good fit. This is your chance to ask questions and see if my coaching style aligns with your needs. Plus, it's a chance for me to start understanding your dream career goals.​​
​
I offer two options for coaching:
1-on 1-Coaching
This is your personalised path to career success. We'll work closely together to identify your unique strengths, address your specific challenges, and create a tailored plan to achieve your goals. Each session is focused solely on you and your individual journey.
Group Coaching
You'll join a small group of people with similar goals as yourself. This emphasises peer learning and mutual support, allowing participants to learn from each other's experiences and perspectives. You'll get coaching from me in a group setting but also time to discuss your challenges with likeminded peers.
Sound good? Let's chat and see if we can design your dream career together!
Testimonials
Don't just take my word for it. Here is what some of my clients say about me:
Since having Roland as my Coach I have moved from feeling lost, in a world of delivery chaos, into a sense of greater confidence where I am more able to stand in my power. His coaching style is understated in that his energy is calm and measured however our conversations are thought provoking and powerful. One of the biggest things is how he helped me understand about the different stances of my role, and to articulate to project stakeholders what I needed from them to function effectively. This has made a world of difference as project delivery can be a continuous process of negotiation and compromise.
- Shena D
Roland is a very supportive coach and has helped me grow significantly in my professional career. During my time working with Roland we have tackled many subjects, including work-life balance, leadership, future career choices, building better relationships and working through workplace problems. Roland has been very skilled at helping me come to my own conclusions, whilst also providing sage advice when necessary and wanted. He has helped me to feel comfortable opening up and has allowed me to explore challenging topics. Roland has helped us build a relationship built on trust and respect, and always makes sure to put me at ease. Having dedicated time to speak about my own career in whichever way I choose has helped provide clarity on who I would like to be in the workplace and how I hope to progress. I am now able to process problems more easily, cope with stress in a healthier way and have a better work-life balance. I would highly recommend Roland as a coach to anyone looking to improve their working life in any way.
- Isobel M
Roland is a brilliant coach. He is very passionate about his role and works hard to enable others to discover the same about what they do and their future goals. His coaching sessions gave me confidence to pursue working in my new role. It also enabled me to later switch career streams and further explore opportunities. This gave me further insight in different mindset and left me wanting to learn more and apply this knowledge in practise. He created a safe space where I could openly discuss any tricky project situations as they might arise and learn how to manoeuvre those by thinking through his framework of insightful questions. Some of Roland key topics are growth and learning as well as life-work balance. Anyone who is looking to explore further on their work career would benefit having coaching sessions with Roland.
- Mirjana M
I started coaching with Roland as I wanted to develop my learning journey but didn’t really know where to begin. Roland worked with me through many topics including agile understanding, career roles, managing workload and overall professional development. His conversational style and ability to ask the right question at the right time has enabled me to draw my own insights and actions that have empowered my self-development. I feel supported, challenged, and safe all at the same time. This approach has enabled me to set myself commitments, experiment with actions and inspect and adapt accordingly to ensure I am getting the right outcomes for me. As such, with Roland’s support, my development journey has felt very natural. I would highly recommend Roland as a coach to anyone.
