About Anita Fletcher
My passion is helping people proactively manage their careers and experience the elation of landing each individual person’s dream job. My objective is to provide services that enrich people’s careers and, in turn, their lives.
As a highly experienced Career Coach I am the founder of an advice-based specialist consulting practice. This work allows me to indulge in my passions for writing, public speaking, and coaching people to understand and convey their values so that they can realise their potential.
I have a deep understanding of the many and varied complexities and challenges of a career in a variety of sectors – corporate, small-, medium- and large-scale enterprises, Medicine and startups.
This understanding comes from:
A 25-year background in business operations management and HR.
5+ years running the Medical Careers Advisory for the Australian Medical Association, Australia’s peak body for medical practitioners.
Engaging with thousands of people at every career stage across Australia and internationally within my company, Standout Careers.
In my career, I too have experienced the feeling of being stuck and had to learn how to make the moves required to get past that. I’ve also learned the importance of “doing the work” required to make necessary changes.
My expertise, in combination with personalised assistance and career-related training services, results in significant progress toward greater career fulfilment for doctors, healthcare practitioners and executives in a variety of sectors.

Is coaching tailored to my individual needs?
Absolutely. Our coaching is highly personalised. We take the time to understand your unique career situation, strengths, and aspirations to create a customised coaching plan that best supports your goals.
Will my coaching sessions and information remain confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is a top priority for all our clients. All information shared during coaching sessions is kept strictly confidential, ensuring a safe and private space for you to explore your career goals and challenges.
How long do coaching sessions last?

Do you offer virtual coaching sessions?

Do you offer group coaching as well as one-on-one coaching?
Our primary focus is one-on-one coaching to provide personalised attention, but we also offer group coaching for teams or small groups looking to develop leadership and communication skills or navigate career transitions.
How does the coaching process work?
The coaching process begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your career goals, challenges, and aspirations. From there, we create a personalised action plan. Sessions are collaborative, giving you space to explore new strategies, address obstacles, and develop the skills needed for both career and personal growth. We use tools like goal setting, reflection exercises, interview practice and action planning to keep you moving toward success.
How often should I have coaching sessions?
The frequency depends on your individual needs, but most clients start with fortnightly or monthly sessions.
How do you measure success in coaching?
Success is measured through your personal achievements and growth. We’ll track your progress against the goals you set at the beginning of the program. Regular reviews allow us to adjust the strategy and ensure you’re moving toward your desired outcomes.
I want to transition into a completely different industry. Can coaching help with this?
Yes, many clients come to us when transitioning into a new sector. Coaching helps you identify transferable skills, develop a strategy for entering a new industry, and build confidence in presenting yourself in a new context.
Will I have support between coaching sessions?
Yes, we offer email or messaging support between sessions to help you stay on track, clarify questions, or address any immediate concerns as they arise.
What happens after my coaching program ends?
After your program ends, you have the option to continue with periodic follow-up sessions or move into a maintenance phase where we check in as needed to ensure continued progress.
