The Elite Career Accelerator is a 12-week private coaching engagement for professionals who want clarity, confidence and momentum in their career — not another job-search programme.
This is not about applying for more roles or polishing a CV.
It is about working one-to-one with James Foster to define where your career is really going, articulate the value you bring at a senior level, and make deliberate, confident decisions about your next step — whether that’s a role, a transition, or a repositioning of your expertise.
Over 12 weeks, we work together as strategic partners. The focus is not on ticking boxes or following templates, but on doing whatever is required to move your career forward.
If you’re at a point where your career needs direction, authority and intent, this is where that work happens.


I'm James, and at Careers Matter, we don't just offer services – we partner with you in your career journey.
With over two decades of experience running a recruitment business, I've honed the strategies and processes that effectively navigate the complexities of different job markets and address the challenges job seekers face.
These are the exact techniques I used as a headhunter to uncover hidden opportunities and secure successful placements for my candidates.
We use this extensive knowledge to create bespoke strategies that propel your career forward, ensuring you achieve the success you deserve.

Jim has also of course followed up to ensure I am settling in well and we will certainly be used in gym going forward as he finds the right talent at the right time.

The Elite Career Accelerator is a 12-week private coaching engagement designed to bring clarity, structure and momentum to the next phase of your career.
You work directly with me to define direction, articulate your value, and make deliberate decisions about what comes next — whatever that requires.
This includes:
Weekly 60-minute private coaching sessions
Sessions are not clock-watched and may run longer where useful
Additional sessions used when required to maintain momentum
Strategic support through key decisions, pivots and transitions
This is not a fixed set of deliverables.
We work together as required to make meaningful change happen.
The initial 12-week engagement provides focus — not a hard stop.
Where continued support adds value, the engagement can be extended in one of the following ways:
Monthly continuation at £1,067 per month, or
A 3-month extension at £799 per month, paid over three instalments
This allows support to scale appropriately as the nature of the work evolves.
If within the first 14 days you feel the Elite Career Accelerator is not right for you, you may step away with a full refund.
