The Boardroom Edit
Where corporate credibility meets the edit you need.
Career coaching from someone who's been in the room.
I'm Jerome Stevens. I'm half Black, half white, and I've spent over 20 years inside some of the largest organisations in banking, telecoms, marketing and retail. Today I work as a programme director across cyber security and banking. Now I help you find your way.
Things people often say
Typical concerns, in the kind of words people use. They're illustrations of common situations, not client testimonials.
“I keep applying, and I still don't know what they're really looking for.”
“Nobody explains how any of this works. I'm worried about getting the basics wrong.”
“I'm often the only one like me in the meeting, and I second-guess everything I say.”
“There's a lot going on under the surface here, and I'm not sure who to trust.”
“I deliver, but the people who make the decisions never seem to see it.”
“I've been told I'm 'nearly ready' for promotion two years running.”

Honest coaching, not hype. I won't promise you a job or a promotion. I will tell you what I've seen work, and help you prepare for it.
Questions people ask
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No. Coaching is not therapy or counselling. It focuses on your career and your goals. If you need support with your mental health, please speak to your GP or another qualified professional.
Will this guarantee me a job?
No. No coach can honestly guarantee you a job or a promotion, and I won’t pretend to. Hiring and promotion decisions are made by employers. What coaching can do is help you understand what they’re looking for, prepare properly, and walk in with a clearer story and more confidence.
What happens on the free discovery call?
It’s 30 minutes, online. We talk about where you are and what you want, and work out together whether coaching with me suits you, and which level fits. It costs nothing, there’s no hard sell, and you’re under no obligation to book anything afterwards.
