As an additional option you can work with one of our coaches as you undertake the WoWT Career Reset program. WoWTPlus with Coaching offers next level support to supercharge your transition from ideas into focused actions designed to land that next opportunity.
“I realise I hadn’t put in the hard yards about what I want to do. This course has begun the process of scratching away at that. I’m better for the exercises and conversations.“
John, Scientist
What will you get out of WoWTPlus Career Coaching?

Joanna Maxwell
Joanna has 20+ years’ experience as a coach and mentor, is the author of the highly successful book Rethink Your Career in your 40s, 50s and 60s, is a former Director of Age Discrimination at the Human Rights Commission and is currently Director, Age Research at the Commission. She helps people in their 40s and beyond to reinvent their work and lives, so that they can reclaim their future and create the life they want for the coming decades.
After recovering from her first career as a corporate lawyer, Joanna founded her own company as a trainer, coach and writer. Since then, she’s worked with hundreds of clients: from the paediatrician who became a glass artist, to the property valuer transitioning to his own business, to the teacher who wanted more time to travel and ‘give back’.
Using evidence-based research, she coaches people to develop a clear sense of who they are, where they are going and what they want, whether that includes changing career, or adjusting the balance between work and the other things they want to do – so that they can make a map of what the coming decades might offer. As a mentor to the WoWT team, she has had significant input into the development of our Career Transition Program.
Her book, Rethink Your Career in your 40s, 50s and 60s was released in mid-2017 by HarperCollins and won the inaugural RSA Australian Career Book of the Year. She is currently completing a second book on the new retirement.
She has a variety of coaching certifications. She has been described by Ray Martin, with whom she did a radio program on people over 50 making career transitions as having “a way of cutting to the chase, identifying the problem and offering some colourful options”.

Sue West
Sue is an experienced coach who is committed to supporting people in their career resets to make decisions and take actions toward the future they want for themselves. She is an active member of the International Coaching Federation, leads a national coaching association in Australia and runs two coaching businesses, one specifically for women. Sue volunteers as a coach with Global Sisters supporting women to get started in new businesses and as mentor with Kilfinan Australia supporting CEOs in the not-for-profit sector.
Sue has10+ years of coaching and mentoring experience. She has had a long career in executive roles in government, universities and the health sector and also has wide Board experience.
She is passionate about ensuring people have access to appropriate career development support. Her specialist advice and coaching adopts a person centred approach based on her belief in the client’s potential. She believes they hold the answers to their future and her role is to help unlock the answers by exploring all the possibilities.
Sue utilises evidence-based practices and a coaching framework developed by Coaching Australia. Sue’s partnership with WoWT developed through our aligned values and passions to give people 45+ access to a broader range of career transition options to help them move toward their desired future.
Sue understands that there is not a ‘one size fits all’ way experience and manage career and life transitions. Her client focused approach means coaching sessions are tailored around the individual clients needs and the goals they strive for.
She is a highly relational person and brings a warmth to her coaching approach. She doesn’t shy away from challenging clients and pushing their ideas, but her style means that clients feel supported in the process.
