A message from Miriam Groom
Founder, Miriam Groom
I am proud and grateful to have founded Mindful Career in order to transform people's lives who are unfulfilled and suffering from anxiety, sadness, isolation and dread when it comes to their career. My passion has always been to make a true and long-lasting impact on peoples' lives, and I couldn't think of a better way to do so but to amalgamate my extensive experience in counselling, natural therapy, corporate recruitment & talent management and offer it to the people who need it most.
My own experience with severe burn-out prompted me to create a revolutionary behavioural career coaching process that unveils a person's ideal career (something I needed desperately at the time!). I used leading strategies from the preeminent corporations in the nation, and reverse engineered it to create Mindful Career's revolutionary behavioural career coaching process. This process allows us to uncover your unique strengths, abilities, interests, optimal work environment & finally your ideal career!
