Reflective Practitioners Journal Testamonials
I love my Reflective Practitioners Journal. In fact, I bought one for everyone on our staff. Reflective gratitude writing has been shown to be effective for so many areas of life. Thanks, Josh
Thanks to Career Blueprint for bringing such a great resource to those of us working in high performance environments. Self-reflection and self-care are under indexed amongst performance practitioners. Check this great little journaling tool out.
A superb addition to the support practitioner’s toolkit. Thoughtfully put together, informed by high-performance industries, practical and intuitive. If you’re interested in improving and managing your energies this journal is well worth the investment.
It is easy to get bogged down in the day to day, forgetting to take stock and reflect on what we’re doing and why. Josh has produced a quality, well designed and deeply thought-out resource to allow practitioners to do this in a fun, engaging and purposeful way through the Reflective Practitioners Journal
Reflective practice has been unbelievably helpful in my career development and enhancing self-awareness. Josh has done a great job raising awareness in and around coaches well-being and personal development
Josh’s The Reflective Practitioners Journal is a must for any individual who wants to dial into their work life balance, challenge finance, family and fulfilment pillars and improve overall mental clarity for the better. I have really enjoyed working through the journal so far especially the pages about vision
The Reflective Practitioners Journal is designed to help you take control of your personal and professional journey.
Committing to working through this journal “forces” you to take time to reflect on different areas of your life and professional practice and be intentional in how you determine to live.
I’ve found the journal very helpful in being more present and deliberate in my decision making and priorities. It’s been a great addition to my daily routine!
Smart and engaging
Really good for me so far. I am being challenged a lot, I never thought that would happen to be honest. 3 up 3 down reflection method has been a bit of a game changer for me so far.
Eye opening. Really helpful
It highlights something right in front of our eyes that I totally miss out on, self-care and self-management. It’s really helped me to look a bit further down the line as a coach.
Trends being set here
It is something so needed in our industry. I am really hopeful this can help with the positive change. The Facebook community has been great for me, probably more beneficial than the journal for me.
Putting breaks on the industry churn and burn issue
Our industry isn’t in a good place with regards to coach health and well-being. I guess that’s why the guys have created this Journal, to fill that gap that our employers leave with our wellness. Fully behind this initiative
he journal has taught me how to take control
No one ever tells you how to take control of your work life balance, just that we need to. This has changed that for me. The values, guiding principles and goal setting exercises were my favourite.
Loved the simplicity of the reflections
I am a very negative reflector. The daily and weekly check ins have forced me to approach things with a more positive slant, some really interesting outcomes to that for me. Would recommend.
About time someone actually did something about practitioner health and wellbeing
It’s been way too long for a product like this to be made. Well done guys, certainly going to add real value to the industry and practitioner’s mental health and wellbeing.
These guys care and they just get it
This isn’t an expense it’s an investment. I never put enough time, effort and money into me, into creating my own pathway to happiness and this journal has really helped me to do that in a really engaging and practical way. Just pre-ordered my next Journal!
Better than I expected
I wasn’t expecting this I must say! I was worried it wouldn’t work for me as a physio and be really ‘coach centric’ I suppose. But it seems to be based on principles which apply everywhere really. I am looking forward to seeing what they come up with next.
Clubs and governing bodies should buy for staff
You want happy hard-working staff who have some direction and purpose then this journal is a must. Get ahead of the game and give it out as part of the onboarding process.
Simple and enjoyable
Good product. Helping me find time for me. I like it.
It feels so good to give a bit of time
These guys have hit the nail on the head, we don’t take enough time and energy to focus on ourselves. I put everyone else first professionally and I am now learning how to change that. I really enjoyed the Happy Practitioner exercises, they helped me take my blinkers off.
The industry has been screaming out
There is so much negativity and moaning about the performance industry and finally 2 guys with a lot of skin in the game have put a product out there to help us be more than just our jobs. I’m a few weeks in and I really think this will help me avoid some of the horror stories we hear so much about. As for stories, I just listened to these guys ones and they are pretty epic, you should definitely check that out on their website.
Testimonials

Don’t just listen to us. Here are what people say about us.
Career Periodisation Webinar
Career Blueprint is changing the game when it comes to how I help my staff to think about their personal and professional development. These are tools for growth that are relevant for everyone.
CV OVERHAUL
My CV got a serious upgrade! It’s helped me see the job market from the perspective of an employer, I think I can leverage that in future.
career periodisation 1-2-1 consultation
Using career periodisation as a tool to help plan my professional future has given me clarity on how I would like to envisage my professional and personal life, and mapped out how I can achieve it. I am really grateful for this.
1-2-1 Networking consultation
I knew I needed to network; I just never knew how. I went from no clue to specific daily actions with clear measurable targets in 90-minutes.
Career periodisation 1-2-1
I’ve just been taught how to map out and take control of my own professional development. If project yes pile was my short-term future, I’ve just invested in my long-term future.
1-2-1 Career Periodisation
I’ve been collecting certificates with no specific end goal. Floating along, until we worked to form a 30,000 ft view of my pathway all the way down to my daily actions. This has saved me time and thousands of pounds.
CV Overhaul
I understand that even the smallest details can change the lens through which the employer sees you. Therefore, I can control which lens I want them to look through if I tell my story correctly.
CV Overhaul
I thought my CV was on point, I think most people do until a professional looks at it. It has a totally different feel, look and message now.
1-2-1 Networking Consultation
I have learnt about the process of networking and how to offer something to other coaches even as a young developing coach. I think it is the most difficult part of networking, but I now have a decent sized list I am contacting, and I am already making good connections.
Case studies

Mentorship-combined services
I have worked with Josh from Career Blueprint for nearly 7 years now. When we started, I was an intern with ‘talent and dedication, but letting myself down with my application’ as he described it. I invested so much time and energy chasing dead ends and focussing on things which were not going to get me what I wanted. I read, watched and listened to everything coaching related there was but I didn’t have a CV which would unlock doors, a network which could work for me or any sort of coherent plan as to how I was going to achieve my goal. I was just throwing a ton of mud at the wall and hoping some stuck.
We totally overhauled my early development by periodising my focus areas and my effort. CV and networking came first as we agreed these were the immediate short-term goals. The CV got a total make over with a very clear focus on the structure, content being inline with the job spec and selling myself appropriately. This resulted which resulted in me getting interviews for every job I applied for! It was crazy going from rejection and no response to calls for interviews.
Networking support and structure was great for me, I realised how much opportunity there is to interreact within the community and also how to do it professionally. It was a game changer and it actually led to my first 2 jobs in fact.
Since those early days I have purchased the FFF decision making model which gives me principles to help me make decisions for me in 3-5-10 years’ time. I really needed this as I am getting to the stage of thinking about what’s next in my life outside of work. The career periodisation has absolutely calmed me down, I have always been in a rush to climb the ladder and actually breaking down huge goals and separating them into manageable daily actions has helped me maximise my time in each role. I think it is a bit of a must for people who can get a bit overwhelmed with what to focus on development wise and end up misspending their energy.
I will always refer back to the Career Blueprint products I have purchased along the way, but for me, my 1-2-1 consultations have always yielded tangible outcomes. So far Josh has helped me get 2 jobs, 1 promotion, 2 pay rises and talked me out of moving jobs twice (both absolutely excellent decision I must say). So, I’m a lifer. Anyone whose products and services can provide me with the guidance and skills to develop a stable, happy life is worth every penny.
CV OVERHAUL
We started working together in 2013 and it’s been such a great pathway for me.
I have a young family now and its only really now that I realise how invaluable the career periodisation and FFF Decision Making Model has been for me. I didn’t know it at the time, but the work I did with the Career Blueprint guys set me up for success 5 years down the line.
I started out a bit naïve like most of us do, I was clear on my goals but I wasn’t really moving forward until we started breaking them down into daily actions and adding the structure. We mapped out a 5-year plan, then broke that down into an annual plan with quarterly goals and action items. I would never have done this for myself, the guidance and structure was so good for me.
I actually looked back at my first 5-year planner and it was amazing to see how much of it I had achieved and that is the reason I have progressed to where I am today. Because I broke down my goals into manageable chunks and then attached direct actions to them, I have grown professionally at quite a linear rate.
I am now not far off finishing my second 5-year planner and I still fill out the annual plans with regular check ins and ‘challenge sessions’ I like to call them with Josh. Where we discuss and he challenges my plans in order for me to add another layer of depth to them.
If you are confused, maybe a slow starter, behind the crowd or keep getting rejected at interview then this career periodisation and a host of the other products they deliver will flip that on its head.
Career Periodisation 1-2-1 consultation
I’ve always had goals, but the steps seem so big and unattainable. My daily actions were not in line with what I wanted to achieve long term, but now I know a lot of the small actions I need to do as part of my daily life. I am happier and moving towards my goals again.
This is great value, especially to the ones who need to get their themselves together in terms of their career path (like me). I am looking forward to having my CV and networking upgraded next.
Networking 1-2-1 consultation
Blinkers came off on this call. I had no idea what proper, detailed, strategic professional networking was. Hence, I never got very far. I’ve now embraced a process and designed a plan which has seen me invited to the head office of a major sports science firm to view their products in action. All achieved in less than one day!
Overall, I was just plodding through life and falling out of love with the industry. But now, I feel as though I am more proactive, productive and have a greater sense of positivity towards the industry and what changes I need to make, just from getting a few early yes’s from connecting with the right people.
CV Overhaul
As I’ve been working within the NHS for several years I hadn’t needed to develop my CV, when I started to explore other opportunities I worked with Josh to help capture my experience in a way that would really speak to the new audiences.
I sent him my draft CV & we followed up with a coaching session. Josh worked through my CV, pulling out elements to enhance, suggesting areas to pull back & making several format changes, all of which he explained thoroughly with solid reasoning.
The result was a punchy CV that captured me on a page. I am now in a new role and would recommend Josh to anyone else wanting to polish their CV to help them make that next step
