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:

September is the start of a new season. When we were young it meant the start of a new school year. Now that we’re older it’s the signal that we have four months left in the calendar year. Eek! Someone once said to me that the two most productive days of the year are the day after Labour Day in September and the first Monday after New Years Eve. So let’s capitalize on this season of focus. Here are three ways to increase your focus and help you achieve your goals before the end of the year....
This week I worked with a client who was feeling overwhelmed by his job search. Between sending out hundreds of LinkedIn messages, preparing for interviews and researching for coffee chats, he felt like he was responding to the urgent without being strategic. It was stressing him out. In our session, we worked through the different types of job search strategies… essentially the best ways to land an interview. Then, we discussed which approach to prioritize and why. Here are the options I...
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." – Dr. Seuss Where do you want to go? What’s the vision for your life and your career? Are you investing in yourself today to get to where you want to go tomorrow? About 12 years ago, I began dreaming about the type of life I wanted. As a stressed out management consultant, my dreams felt far off. Like really far off. I’m a curious person and if I have a problem to solve, I’m focused on...
