Coaching for young careers and comeback careers alike

From “no idea” to “I start Monday.”

WorkWink is end-to-end coaching that walks with you from the first conversation to your first day — tailored to you, transparently priced, and yours to use as much or as little as you like.

About us

A coach in your corner, not a careers portal.

WorkWink is an independent practice built for one moment that no one really prepares you for: the leap from studying or a long gap in employment into a career you actually care about.

No call centre, no script, no being passed between strangers. Just one coach who learns your situation and stays with you the whole way through. We take a holistic view — confidence and direction matter as much as a tidy CV — so the plan we build fits your life, not a template.

Frank Mirza

Frank brings nearly a quarter century of hands-on experience across four industries in the US and UK, helping people build careers that last — and that they actually enjoy.

Frank's career began in New York after he completed a Master's Degree in Economics.

He started on the shop floor and in logistics, moved into banking and lending with a Canadian bank, then relocated to the UK where he led a regional charity as CEO.

Since 2015 he has worked in sales, marketing and commercial leadership across the UK, managing multi-million-pound partnerships and owning commercial strategies.

Notable partners include household names like Footasylum, NEXT Retail, Genuit Group, VisitBritain.com and AutoGlym, among others.

What he brings to coaching

  • Practical perspective — from frontline retail to executive leadership.
  • Cross-sector insight — gained from two continents and multiple disciplines.
  • Commercial clarity — helping clients translate strengths into monetisable skills that scale.

Frank's coaching blends real-world experience with clear, actionable guidance, so clients move from uncertainty to purposeful, sustainable careers.

Three things we promise to keep simple.
