Transition Coaching with a Balanced Approach
Transitioning from one job or career to another can be one of the most stressful and uncertain times in one's life. However, it can also be transformed into a time of great learning and exhilarating change - especially when you're joined by an experienced coach who is in your corner, helping you develop and execute on a balanced plan of attack.
Our approach will guide you through...
- a comprehensive assessment of your industry specific and transferable skills... so you can articulate your value.
- the process of understanding your strengths and balancing your weaknesses... so you will be poised for success.
- crafting a vision statement for what you want to create... so you can write the next chapter of your life deliberately.
- creating an actionable plan to get you where you want to go... so you wake up every day with purpose.
- the necessary focusing that's required to transform opportunity to reality... so you get the results you want.
- the often uncomfortable process of networking... so this becomes a time of joyful reconnection and outreach.
Can't I just post my resume on the Internet?
With unemployment the highest it's been in 26 years, over 500,000 jobless claims being reported weekly, unemployment expected to rise in the coming year, and everyone from 18 to 81 with their resume online...sure...post the resume but please don't hold your breath for the incoming emails. Internet posting and searching is one component of a comprehensive plan that will yield real results. If you're spending more time interacting with a computer than you are interacting with real people then a shift of strategy is needed.
