3 (surprising) benefits of career coaching DCL #76
|
Most people think the best time to engage a career coach is after a layoff or if your job search is going sideways. Those ARE good times to engage a coach to help get you on track (and I’m here for all that!)... But the clients who have experienced a truly holistic transformation don’t work with me out of desperation. They engage me as a coach as an act of foresight.They know a change is coming (or they want a change to happen), and they’re willing to put in the time and effort to invest in that change. These can be some of the most exciting engagements for me. Why? Because we get to focus on designing and building the type of life the client truly wants. Instead of rushing to find the next role. Take Kristina for example. She knew what she didn’t want for her life and career, but had a harder time articulating what she did want. Our work focused on helping her uncover and design the type of life she truly wanted. Then we found careers that complimented this designed life and built upon her existing skill set in corporate strategy. Within weeks she landed a new role that was a perfect fit for her.The big transformation in my line of work is always the new role or the new direction someone finds. But there are other surprising benefits that come with this type of work. I hear things like… “I have a stronger relationship with my partner because of the exercises you gave me and the encouragement to include my partner in these key decisions.” “I really know now what I want my life to be about and this clarity has translated into many other areas of my life. I feel like I’m living the life I never thought was possible!” “This is such a safe place. This has been a soft landing pad to work through some painful career experiences that I didn’t even realize I was carrying around.” If you’re on the fence about whether or not this is the time to engage a career coach, here are 3 questions to consider:

I had a conversation last week with a Senior Manager who has worked in sales his whole career. His leaders kept telling that he's on track to become the next Director. The feedback was always consistent: “You’re doing great.”“Just keep going.”“It’s coming.” Unfortunately, he had yet to see this promotion. He told me, “It’s all well and good to say I’m on track to be the next Director.But it’s not happening.There aren’t roles for me to step into - and realistically, nothing here is opening...
If you’ve been getting 2–4% raises for the last 2 to 3 years - and your scope has stayed the same or increased - you're likely at a compensation ceiling. I see this all the time.

A Director I worked with recently came out of a final round interview confused. “It felt like it went well,” he said.“Good conversation. Strong rapport. I had solid answers.” And yet the feedback came back the same way it often does: “Strong candidate. Not quite at the level we’re looking for.” This wasn’t the first time. He had been through multiple processes.Consistently making it to late stages.Consistently getting the same feedback. At some point, that pattern is no longer random. Welcome...
