Coaching for people who want their work to mean something
Welcome to High on Hope.
Are you you tired of doing work that doesn't matter? Maybe you're burnt out on corporate projects that serve nothing but profit. Maybe you have expertise or a hidden calling that no one knows about.
I help people who are ready to build something that actually matters - combining the internal transformation (clarity, confidence, purpose) with the external creation (your presence, your project, your career move).
I'm Aurora Airaskorpi. I've spent over a decade in science and sustainability communications, published two books on anti-hustle careers, and I work at the intersection of meaningful ambition and practical reality.
I offer a 10-week intensive for people ready to bring their meaningful work into the world.
This isn't just coaching conversations. We combine the internal work (clarity, confidence, purpose) with the practical creation (building your website, developing your materials, making the career move).
Because of my background in science and sustainability communications, I understand the world of impact work. I know what it takes to transition from corporate sustainability to freelance consulting, to bring research into public conversation, to build projects that actually create change.
Together we create something tangible - your professional presence, a publication, a business, a career move that aligns with your values and ambition
What I Offer
What my coachees are saying
“Aurora’s gentle, attentive, but solution-focused coaching was exactly what I needed to gain control of my working life. I gained a more structured approach to self-management and I learned to recognise time-wasters, say “no” even more strongly, and identify my key means of recovery in the rush of everyday life. The lessons I learned from Aurora’s coaching are already part of everyday life.”
“I got really good tools to reflect on my career development. Aurora asked well-targeted questions that helped me look at my abilities and potential from a new perspective. She gave space to reflect and give words to things that are rarely thought through so deeply and with time. I highly recommend Aurora’s coaching!”
“With Aurora's help, I was able to identify emotional and thinking patterns that have long hindered my development. I received concrete support and made progress in unlocking my barriers. Aurora challenged my thinking when necessary and, on the other hand, guided me forward in an encouraging way.”
A little bit about me
I'm Aurora Airaskorpi. As a coach, writer, and creative with a decade of experience in nonprofit, science, and sustainability communications, I understand both the idealism of meaningful work and the practical reality of making it sustainable.
I've published two books on anti-hustle careers, worked with researchers and changemakers across academia, non-profits, and the public sector, and helped individuals pursue purpose-driven careers.
I embrace multiple domains - coaching, science writing, teaching yoga - because I've learned that meaningful work rarely fits into neat categories. If you're someone who prioritises purpose while maintaining ambitious goals, you've found your ally in me.
