Your coach

I'm Yvonne Akinmodun, executive Career coach 

Executive Career Coach | Career Expert | Midlife Career Transition Specialist

I’m an ICF-certified executive career coach with over 20 years of experience as a senior HR professional in the UK. I've spent my career supporting others through complex workplace decisions, career changes, and leadership transitions.

But I’ve also walked this journey myself. I know what it feels like to question what’s next, to seek more fulfillment, and to crave alignment between who you are and what you do.

That’s why I created Career Coaching Matters—to offer empathetic, practical, and strategic career support to professionals who are ready for change, but unsure where to start.

Whether you're stepping into a new leadership role, launching your own consultancy, or crafting a purposeful retirement plan, I’m here to help you:

Rebuild your confidence

Clarify your direction

Communicate your value

Move forward with purpose

What clients are saying

"I contacted Yvonne a couple of months ago as I really needed some career guidance to make the most of my existing role and to consider other possible opportunities in the light of the ongoing uncertainty around local government engineering roles. Yvonne and I discussed what I really wanted from my career and this has given me so much more confidence in my achievements and abilities which has enhanced my current role. She helped redraft my supporting statement and gave pointers for my CV, she has educated me on what opportunities are on offer. Not only is she outstanding good at getting to the heart of issues she is clearly extremely skilled at her job. I would highly recommend Yvonne weather you are looking for a new role or want to enhance your currently one. Worth every penny ."
