Is This You?

Are you a professional person experiencing a career crisis?

I work with mid-career professionals who have reached a crossroads in their careers, but don’t know which way to turn next.

Can you relate to any of these situations?

You fell into a career – after completing your education, your main motivation was to earn a living, so you didn’t think too hard about the direction you took.  Now several years on, you find yourself doing a double take on your own life and asking ‘who am I really and how did I get here?’

You have reached a different ‘stage’ in life - a more discerning stage where you want different things and money alone is no longer enough.  You want to feel as though the work you do makes a contribution, but your current role seems meaningless and unrelated to your life now.

Your current role has overwhelmed you - leaving you with little time or energy for anything else.  You know you want a better work-life balance, but as a result of the fatigue you are experiencing you have lost the direction and motivation to make the changes you need.

You want to change direction, but don’t know which way to turn – you have always done what was expected of you, and you have done very well at it too, but you now want a more fulfilling career that reflects who you really are, rather than who everyone thinks you should be.  The question is ‘what? . . .’

You don’t know how to make it happen – all the financial and emotional commitments you have make taking risks and making changes difficult, and you struggle with the self belief required to overcome the numerous obstacles between you and the career you really want and deserve.  You are left feeling frustrated and stuck where you are.

Your Characteristics

Since I have been helping professional people get the rewarding and satisfying careers they deserve, I have found that you are more likely to succeed with me if you have the following characteristics;

You are actively interested in your own self development.
You are keen to understand what makes you tick, and are prepared to invest time and money in order to attain the knowledge and self awareness you need to move forward with your career and improve your situation.

You are open to new ideas and change.
You know that doing that same thing and expecting different results isn’t going to work, so you are willing to explore new ways of thinking, feeling and acting, in order to achieve the ultimate reward of a satisfying and fulfilling career.

You are willing to take responsibility.
You are prepared to be proactive and take ownership of your life in the knowledge that you create your own reality and ultimately only you can be responsible for changing it.

You are action orientated and committed to getting things done.
Working with a career coach is a good start, but you know that revitalising your career will take some hard work on your part too.  You are not expecting to wave a magic wand - you prepared to put in the hard work required to get where you want to be - knowing that the more you put in the more you get out.
