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:

A few weeks ago, I spoke with a professional who told me she wanted to make another $50,000 in the next two years. On the surface, that seemed straightforward. Like many professionals, she assumed the next step was to pursue a larger role with a bigger compensation package. But as we continued talking, she started to realize that the money wasn't actually the problem. Or at least, it wasn't the only problem. She was exhausted. Her role had expanded to the point where work was consuming most...
In the last email, we talked about the point where your job starts running your life. Where you’re performing.Still delivering.But the intensity doesn’t let up - and your work starts to take over more than it should. For a lot of people, that shows up as a gradual shift: You’re doing everything you’re supposed to be doing.But it’s no longer sustainable.And you’re not enjoying it the way you used to. The next problem most people run into isn’t a lack of options. It’s that they don’t have the...
A client I’m working with is in a senior marketing role at a global bank. "I'm tired," she told me. "My work has taken over my personal life and I'm not sure what to do. I know in my bones that it's time to change jobs, but I don't know to what?" "And I don't want to lose out on the leverage I've built." She’s built her career inside this organization.Grown her scope.Developed into a strong leader. From the outside, everything looks like it’s working. But she’s reached a point where it’s no...
