You’ve put in the years, but lately, every workday feels like treading water. The next promotion doesn’t inspire you, burnout is creeping in, and you’re not sure where to turn. That’s where career coaching makes the difference. At Rushdi Kirsten Grow Coaching, we help mid to senior professionals in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and across Australia get unstuck, regain confidence, and move into roles that fit - fast.
A career and leadership coach helps individuals clarify career goals, develop strategies, and improve skills to achieve professional success. They provide guidance on job searching, resume building, interview preparation, and career transitions, tailored to your needs in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Horbart or online Australia wide.
Career coaching works because it creates structured reflection, informed decision-making, and accountability.
My approach combines leadership experience, evidence-based coaching methods, and practical career strategy to help professionals move forward with clarity, not guesswork.
Research from the International Coaching Federation shows that professional coaching improves confidence, clarity, and performance.
In practice, that means better decisions, clearer direction, and momentum you can actually feel.
A 3-pillar model to help high-performers regain clarity, lead with confidence, and act with purpose.
CLARITY
Understand why your career feels off, and what actually needs to change.
Reconnect with purpose. Break through whats holding you back. Define a vision that energises you.
CONFIDENCE
Stop second-guessing yourself in interviews, conversations, and decisions.
Lead with presence, build real influence, without burning out.
MOMENTUM
Build forward motion without blowing up your life.
No more spinning your wheels. Take strategic, aligned action toward what matters most.
This isn’t one-size-fits-all coaching. The Grow Coaching Framework™ is a structured, results-driven method I use to help high performers break through burnout, rebuild confidence, and move forward with clarity and purpose, fast.
Every coaching engagement is built on three pillars:
Clarity – Know what matters and why
Confidence – Lead with calm, grounded authority
Goals – Take action with direction and momentum
This framework is designed specifically for professionals experiencing burnout, career stagnation, or decision fatigue.
This isn’t about chasing titles or forcing change. It’s about regaining clarity, confidence, and direction without blowing up your life.
Designed and developed by Rushdi Kirsten - Executive Coach & creator of the Grow Coaching Framework™

Grow Coaching’s method is grounded in proven coaching principles:
80% of coaching clients report improved self-confidence, and 73% report improved relationships and communication.

Harvard Business Review
Positive psychology coaching has been shown to significantly increase goal attainment and psychological well-being.
Positive Psychology
Poor workplace mental health is estimated to cost Australian organisations around $10.9 billion each year through absenteeism, presenteeism and workers’ compensation. That is why I focus on helping professionals rebuild clarity, confidence, and sustainable performance before burnout becomes the default. (mentallyhealthyworkplaces.gov.au)
Coaching is available in different formats depending on how much support and accountability you need.
What I commit to when you work with me, and what you should expect from every session.
This is not a promise of overnight success or a guaranteed job offer.
It’s a commitment to how I coach and the standard I hold myself to.
Every engagement is grounded in clarity, senior-level thinking, and practical forward movement, not generic advice, motivation talk, or recycled frameworks.

Career coaching helps you get clear on your next move and execute it with confidence. For mid-career professionals, the biggest wins usually come from role clarity, stronger positioning, better leadership conversations, and a practical plan you can follow. It is especially useful when you feel stuck, are second-guessing your next step, or want faster progress toward promotion or a role change. The focus is outcomes, not theory, and every session ends with action.
Yes. Coaching helps you identify what is driving burnout, then build a practical reset plan so you can regain control without losing momentum. This often includes prioritisation, boundaries, workload and stakeholder management, and confidence rebuilding. We also clarify whether the root cause is role mismatch, leadership pressure, unclear expectations, or lack of progression. The goal is to stabilise your energy, create a clear direction, and move forward with a plan that is realistic.
Each session is structured and action-focused. We set a clear goal, unpack the situation, identify blockers, and agree on the next best actions. Depending on your needs, sessions may cover career direction, promotion strategy, leadership presence, communication, confidence, and job search performance, including résumé, LinkedIn, and interview preparation. You will leave with clarity and a simple plan, plus accountability, so progress continues between sessions.
Yes. We tune how you open, structure, and close so your answers read as steady decisions with clear outcomes. It works for APS and commercial panels, behavioural sets, technical probes, and informal chats.
Most clients feel clearer after the first session because they finally have a plan and priorities. Visible results depend on your goal and how quickly you can apply actions. Job search improvements can be fast once positioning and messaging are tightened. Promotion and leadership outcomes usually take longer because they involve building visible impact and stakeholder confidence. Either way, we set realistic milestones early so you can track progress and stay on momentum.
Yes. I work with clients in Perth and also coach professionals across Australia online. Support can include career clarity, burnout recovery, promotion strategy, leadership coaching, and job search performance. If you are applying for roles, we can strengthen your résumé, LinkedIn profile, and interview approach so your value is clear quickly. The best starting point is a clarity call so we can confirm fit and map the fastest path based on your situation.
Choose based on the outcome you want and how much support you need. If your main problem is that your résumé and LinkedIn are not selling your value clearly, start with the Résumé and LinkedIn Rebrand. If you are actively applying and want a structured job search solution that improves your positioning plus interview readiness, choose Get Job Ready. If your goal is bigger than landing a role, such as promotion, leadership growth, burnout recovery, or a full career transition, Career and Leadership Coaching is the best fit because it gives you an ongoing plan, accountability, and deeper skill development.
Résumé and LinkedIn Rebrand is best for professionals who want clearer positioning, stronger messaging, and a profile that matches the roles they are targeting. Get Job Ready is best for job seekers who want a complete job search strategy with improved résumés and LinkedIn, plus interview preparation and execution support. Career and Leadership Coaching is best for professionals who want long-term change: clarity on direction, confidence, leadership presence, stakeholder influence, burnout recovery, and a structured plan toward promotion or a new career path. If you are unsure, start with the free clarity call, and we will map the fastest path based on your situation.
