The 12 Step Career Blueprint programme

If you are experiencing a mid-career crisis, help is at hand with my Career Blueprint programme.
The programme is designed to take you step by step on a journey from uncertainty about your current career, through to clarity about what career is right for you, and how to get there.

What results can I expect?

The programme is designed to enable you to draw together your values, natural talents, passions, dreams, experience and skills – the essence of who you really are – to uncover your Career Blueprint, or the work that you were meant to do.  By enabling you to align who you are with what you do, you can ensure your next career move will be satisfying and fulfilling for you long term.   

How does the programme work?

The programme provides a framework of interesting and engaging exercises, some of which we will work through in our one to one weekly coaching sessions, some of which will be ‘homework’ for you to do in your own time.  The weekly sessions can be face to face or over the phone, whichever suits you best.    
I am happy to provide telephone and email support in between sessions – in fact to ensure that you extract the maximum benefit from the programme I encourage you to contact me as often as you want.
 
The programme consists of 12 steps covering three phases – Explore, Dream and Discover, and depending on how hard you are prepared to work, takes approximately 12 weeks to complete.  Essentially you dictate the pace, but the more you put in, the more you will get out in the shortest time.
Here is an overview of the three phases:

Explore
Using a number of interesting and powerful exercises, I will work with you to piece together the vital self-knowledge you will need to uncover your career blueprint.  This phase is not just about your career, but provides you with an over view of your whole life.  It is a lifelong investment in yourself to find out what makes you tick and what you have to offer the world.                                                   
We will capture what you discover in two unique formats – the ‘Life Star’ and the ‘Work Star’, which will provide you with a richly coloured snapshot of who you are and what you need in your life in order to be happy and what you must have in your career in order to be satisfied and motivated.


Dream
This is the creative part of the programme, when you and I work together to generate an ‘Ideas Bank’ and then draw out a number of possible career choices. 
I will encourage you to be original, resourceful, and expansive, to think outside of the box, and not to be constrained by traditional ideas of what you think is possible.

Discover
This is the final part of the programme, where you will investigate the top possibilities that were generated in the Dream phase.  I provide you with a creative and empowering process which allows you to turn your vision for an exiting career that’s right for you into a soundly based action plan to make it happen.

This programme is designed to quite literally change your life and your career.
 
By uncovering your Career Blueprint you will be able to find the missing pieces of the career fulfilment puzzle.  With access to my resources and my total support every step of the way, the programme will lead you to the exiting and motivating career you always dreamed of, but thought you would never have.

How much does it cost?

The investment for the Career Blueprint programme is just £200 per month and this covers all one-on-one sessions with me and the other benefits detailed above.

Contrast this investment to the fulfilment gained from finding the career that you love, from discovering the work that you were meant to do – what price do you place on your long term happiness?  

What if I’m still not sure it’s the right programme for me?

I understand that you may still be unsure if my coaching services are right for you at this point in time.  For that reason my Career Blueprint programme comes with a 100% money-back guarantee
If you purchase the Career Blueprint programme but decide after the first session that it’s not right for, you just let me know and I'll refund your money in full.  You have my personal guarantee on that.
That way, you get to try the Career Blueprint programme at absolutely no risk to you and then you can decide for yourself if you want to continue.  How does that sound?

What is my next step?

If you are interested in the Career Blueprint programme then please e-mail me at gayle@skybluecoaching.co.uk providing details of your current situation and what you would like to achieve by working with me. If appropriate, we can then schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss the suitability of the Career Blueprint programme for your needs.  I will get back to you as soon as I can - usually within 24 hours.

What is stopping you from taking the first step to your new career?

It can be very difficult to be proactive and take control from this position – I know, I’ve been there.  You have reached overload you but can’t see the way forward.  My Ideal Balance programme is designed to give you the opportunity to stop the work treadmill, stand back and see the bigger picture.

How does the programme work?

The Ideal Balance programme takes you through a series of thought provoking and at times challenging exercises, designed to give you a holistic overview of who you are and what’s really important to you.  The approach is both psychological, working through your values and beliefs, and practical, giving you tools you can apply to managing your workload today.

We will work together in one-to-one sessions, which can be face to face or over the phone, and usually occur on a weekly basis.  There will also usually be some ‘homework’ for you to do in your own time.  (How much or little work you put in between sessions is entirely up to you, but as withanything in life, the more effort you put, the bigger and better the results you will get.)  
I am also very happy to provide telephone and email support in between sessions – in fact to ensure that you extract the maximum benefit from the programme I encourage you to contact me as often as you feel you need to.
