Workshops
My company provides a variety of careers and leadership workshops.
I currently run workshops for the NHS in career planning and in interview practice. My company has been employed on a freelance basis to run approximately 50 of these workshops per year since 2018.
These workshops can be adapted to the needs of your organisation.
I also run ‘Train the trainer’ type workshops to teach senior managers to give careers guidance/coaching to their junior colleagues.
Examples of workshops
- planning your career
- CV/Cover letters
- being successful at interview
- career resilience
- how to manage stress and cope with adversity
- building confidence
- leadership skills
- train the trainer – careers workshop
Testimonials from workshops:

I am available to speak at conferences on topics covering:
- careers management and planning

Website content writing and editing
I have years of experience on working on websites. This was due to the fact I managed the doctors’ sections of a national careers website – www.healthcareers.nhs.uk.
I also designed and built the website www.lisastonecareersandcoaching.co.uk for my own company by myself.
I have completed a ‘design for the web’ module at the Open University.
Writing/proof-reading and editing
I can help to make your documents readable and in plain English, so that they are to a professional standard.
For example:
- national frameworks
- policies and guidelines
- career profiles

I authored this report on the Advanced Clinical Practice framework:
NHS England

Blogging
I can write blogs for your website on the subject of careers, leadership, wellbeing, employability and coaching.
Some examples of some paid blogs that I’ve written are here:
Creativity – why students should be encouraged to develop this skill
Students’ wellbeing and the importance of avoiding stress/burnout
E-learning modules
My experience in this area is in creating content for a career-planning e-module that Health Education England created for foundation doctors.
CVs and Cover Letters
I can make suggestions for improvements to your CV and/or cover letter. It is helpful for someone to have a fresh eye, to spot any grammar/formatting issues. My background of academic studies and my editing/copywriting experience mean that I have excellent grammar and writing skills. Therefore, I can evaluate the quality of your work.
I also have expertise with CVs. Having worked as a freelance Careers Consultant at Imperial College London, as well as at Coventry University London, I’ve helped with a huge number of CVs.
In addition, having worked extensively with trainee doctors, I know what it takes to make a good strong CV for your selection centre evidence folder.
Fees
£50 – £85 per CV or cover letter (depending on how much work is needed).
Send your CV/cover letter to lisa@lisastonecareersandcoaching.co.uk and I will let you know the price.
Please note, I will not write your CV/cover letter for you.
