What if I am looking for a Change of Career?

 

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. - Goethe

There is an underlying belief in our culture that things must be done in 'one big swoop'. This may work for some, but it may paralyze others from taking any action. Therefore, I have split my career coaching sessions into sections so you have the time between sessions to prepare yourself for the next step in finding a career you are passionate about. Each session will allow you to discover more about what you want from your career, what you want to achieve, what possibilties are available to you and what careers are linked to your 'wants & desires'.

The number of coaching sessions required depends on what it is you are looking to achieve.Like all coaching sessions, the content is unique and tailored to suit each unique client. The sessions are an investment in your future and your commitment to finding a career you are passionate about.

1. Assess where you are today?

You will see where you are at in this moment in terms of satisfaction with your career.  This will clarify if it really is your career you want to change and not some behaviours or situations within your work.  You will learn what is missing from your current career and explore other skills or talents you would like to include in a new career. Finally, you will choose if you are ready to commit to the process of finding a career you are passionate about.

2. You ideal career & life?

During this session you will receive your 'Career Booklet' where you will add, delete and change information and questions about your career. The 'Career Booklet' will hold all the information that your process during each session and gather between session.

You will work on clarifying what are your hopes, dreams and passions.  By identifying what your requirements are in a career and what you absolutely must have, you will begin to see what elements you want to bring into your career.  Through questions, you will begin to elimate areas that do not appeal to you. Do you really want them or do you feel you ‘should’ want them. If you are taking the time to create a new career you might as well have one YOU want, not what you think you should want!

3. What’s holding you back?

You will look at what is holding you back, identify limiting beliefs and resolve any inner conflicts that prevent you from moving forward.  You will introduce new habits into your life which will empower you along your journey.  

4. How setting goals & projects keep you focused

You will learn how to design your future using effective goals and projects. Changing career can have a knock on effect on the rest of your life. You may need to look at other areas of your life so that they remain healthy also e.g. relationships, health, finances, personal growth etc.  You will leave with tools & techniques that you can use in your future to continue growing in all areas of your life.

5. Values &Rewards

You will identify and understand your true values.  For many discovering their values is unleashing the key to a door.  You will finally understand why you may react the way you do in situations.  You will learn that you can choose to live your life in line with your values but you will also know when your values are being trampled on.  You will also be able to identify the workplace functions that best express your values. You will see if your career or new career is in line with your beliefs and values. When you live in accordance with your values you will find that you are fulfilled, satisifed and happy.

6. Choosing a Career

Throughout the whole process you will be processing all of the above information/results in order to narrow down your career selection. Now, you will assess your personality traits and learn to evaluate the suitability of various careers so you can be confident that your career choice is exactly what you want.  Where required, you will learn how to stand out from the crowd with your CV. 

Imagine having the career that you dream of where you have the work life balance– How would you feel?  How would it affect the other areas of your life like health and relationships?  How would you feel getting out of bed in the morning knowing that you are going to a job you love?  You can achieve this with coaching.
