Coaching for Purpose-Driven Careers

Empowering Mid-Career Women to Build Bold, Impactful Careers in Climate and Sustainability

Feeling Stuck on the Path to a Purpose-Driven Career in Sustainability?

Navigating the sustainability job market as a mid-career woman without the right guidance can be overwhelming.

With countless career paths and no clear map, it’s easy to feel lost or unsure of where to focus your energy. You might find yourself chasing roles that don’t align with your values or skills, questioning your worth as you try to pivot into new areas, or stuck in a frustrating cycle of sending out applications and hoping something sticks.

Without access to the right networks or the often-hidden job market, it can feel like you’re on your own—burning out while trying to make an impact without a clear direction.

But the truth is, you don’t have to do it alone.

Let’s turn your passion for sustainability into a clear, confident career path — one that reflects your values, strengths, and purpose.

Let’s build the career — and future — you care about.

The Sustainability Space Needs You.Let’s Find Your Place In It.

I know how overwhelming it can feel trying to build mid-career in sustainability. The path isn’t always clear, job descriptions can be vague or misaligned, and it’s easy to question whether your background really fits.

Maybe you’ve been applying with no response, or feel torn between wanting to make a difference and not knowing how. I’ve worked with many women in your shoes — and I’m here to help you cut through the noise, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence and purpose.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Sustainability and climate action run through my entire career — as a corporate sustainability consultant, facilitator, and certified ICF career and climate change coach, with over 1,000 hours of coaching experience, I bring deep expertise to every engagement.

What sets my coaching apart is how I think.

Drawing on my background in design thinking, I use Red Thread Mapping to surface the connective tissue across your skills, experience, and career history — revealing the through-line that points toward where you’re meant to go next. Most clients are surprised by how much they already have.

I also bring an Ecosystem Lens to every engagement. The climate and sustainability space is far broader than most people realise, and the right opportunity is often not where you first think to look. Together, we zoom out beyond the obvious names and job titles to uncover the full landscape of where your thread can take you.

The result: you leave with a clear, compelling story and a much bigger picture of what’s possible.

“Addressing the climate crisis is the work of our lifetimes. Act as if you love the future.”

"Darcy has been an excellent coach. From the start I have felt safe and listened to sharing my thoughts and feelings, have felt challenged, which I needed to move me forward, all with a sense of understanding and rapport. I would like to thank Darcy for the way she has really helped me move from places where I ́ve felt stuck to actually getting on and achieving what I really want to do.

-KRISTINA

"I have genuinely enjoyed working with you over the past few months and I am so grateful for your support. My objective of formulating my professional step felt a bit overwhelming when I first reached out to you and you helped me break it down into steps that were simple while keeping me honest. You also have an amazing and warm personality and I was always looking forward to our calls!"

Esther

"Darcy's strategic mindset and ability to make me think broader was really valuable in helping me take a step back and stock of what really mattered and was important for the road ahead. She has helped me think thoroughly and in structured way of the career options and areas I could explore, what it might take to get there and potential outcomes. Her guidance and approach to ensure I was asking myself the right questions to reach the clarity were exactly what I have been looking for. I was lucky to be able to have her coaching."
