Your Coach

I’m Yvonne Akinmodun
Executive Career Coach | Career Transition Specialist | Midlife Career Change Coach (UK)

I’m an ICF-certified executive career coach and former senior HR professional with over 30 years’ experience supporting leaders and professionals across the UK. Through my practice, Career Coaching Matters, I help individuals and organisations successfully navigate change, growth, and transition.

I partner with HR and L&D leaders to deliver tailored executive and leadership development coaching programmes, and I work one-to-one with mid to late-career professionals seeking clarity and confidence to take the next step in their careers.

Whether you’re managing redundancy, exploring a midlife career change, or preparing for a new leadership role, my career transition coaching approach combines empathy, strategy, and real-world HR insight.

I help you clarify your goals, communicate your value, and move forward with purpose—transforming career uncertainty into opportunity.

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 ."
