Aligning work and life with what energises you.
Hi, I’m Stephanie Kate Gill. You’re very welcome here. I’m a coach and writer, and here to support you align your work and life with what makes you feel more like you. I do this through 1:1 coaching and Work and Why, a collection of reflections and interviews to learn what this can look like in practice.
The purpose of this work
I believe each of us carries a unique design shaped by our experiences, values, strengths and passions. A question I have wrestled with over the years is how we live that out within the realities of roles, organisations, responsibilities and the context of our wider lives.
This question shapes the work I now do.
– Through one-to-one coaching, helping you recraft roles, navigate career shifts or start something meaningful in or beyond your current work
– Through Work and Why, a growing series of sharing reflections and interviews exploring how others have lived this out in practice.
This work grows from my own experience
I have built new responsibilities alongside existing ones and helped establish a new area of work within a large international organisation. I have also navigated career shifts, relocation and family life, returned to structured study mid career and begun this coaching practice while still holding other commitments.
I know what it is like to juggle priorities and sit with uncertainty alongside the quiet confidence that grows as you begin to recognise what genuinely matters to you and shape your work around it.

Coaching
I value coaching because it creates a structured space to think clearly, reflect honestly and discover that you are capable of finding your own answers when given the time and support to do so.
You might come wanting to better align what you do with what energises you, feeling restless in your current role, navigating a transition, exploring how to recraft your work, or sensing something needs to shift but not yet knowing what. People often already hold their own solutions; coaching helps them recognise and move towards them.
I am currently undertaking the ILM Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring and working towards EMCC accreditation as I continue to develop this practice.
Work and Why
Work and Why is a developing blog of reflections and written interviews exploring how people live out who they are in what they do. Alongside my own writing, I speak with people about who they are, what has shaped them, what energises them and how this is expressed in their work and wider lives.
The aim is to draw inspiration from the different ways people outwork who they are in their work and wider lives.
