When the path you've built no longer feels right, let’s talk.
Coaching for senior leaders & business owners navigating big decisions, unplanned change, and retirement.
Grounded in original psychology research, and 30 years of corporate experience.
I work with people who are..
-
Considering a change
You've built a successful career or business, but you’re questioning whether you want to keep doing this for another decade. I help you work out what you actually want and make a decision you trust.
-
Navigating a change
Many things (like health, redundancy or market changes) can bring you to a transition point. I help you use the moment to find a direction and approach that's genuinely yours & a plan to make it happen.
-
Planning retirement
Retirement is on the horizon and you want to decide on timing, or how to approach it deliberately. I help you design the next chapter rather than drift into it.
-
Recently retired
If retirement feels more like loss than liberation, I help you work out who you are without the role that defined you, and what you want this chapter to look like.

“As someone who left a 20 year career in technology to build a business around my passion, I found myself going around in circles. Victoria is an excellent coach who has an outstanding ability to shine a light on where I get entangled. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

After just one session of coaching with Victoria I feel more self-aware, calmer, more confident and more focused. Victoria’s insight & ability to ask exactly the right questions helped me enormously. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a brilliant coach

Victoria helped me put my life and work in perspective. With her blend of super-present listening and coaching skills, I felt seen, heard and caringly challenged. I would recommend Victoria's services for anyone at a careers crossroad, debating what to do next.

"I’ve worked on and off with Victoria for a few years navigating some difficult transitions. I’m now starting a business of my own thanks to the journey I have been on. I feel I have found my purpose in life (as cliche as that sounds)! "
Lucy Evans. Founder, The Orbit Society
About me
I'm Victoria Pile, former VP at Capgemini, now working with the people I used to be.
After 30 years in corporate life I left to research and coach the very transition I had lived through. I know what it costs to walk away from everything you've spent decades building. I know the pull to stay with what's familiar even when something in you knows it's time to move.
I hold a triple-accredited executive coaching qualification and a Postgraduate Certificate in Coaching for Behavioural Change from Henley Business School, and an MSc in Psychology from the University of Portsmouth, where my research focused on career decision-making after 50.
My coaching style is compassionate, curiosity led, non judgemental, and gently challenging. I work best with action takers and those willing to do the hard work to reflect on what matters to them.
