Having conversations about “not being where I want to be.” Could be that you are not working actively toward moving your career forward. Getting yourself a coach is a great way to stop NOT focusing on your priorities. Know this: there is no neutral position. What that means is that if you're not actively working to move your career forward, then you are, by definition, allowing your career to move backwards because there's always someone younger, smarter, and less expensive than you are coming up from the ranks. And, to state the obvious, allowing that gap to narrow is NOT a recipe for success. So what ARE you doing with respect to your career? Are you occasionally checking Monster.com and thinking that's enough? Are you allowing your friends and colleagues to coach you into complacency? There's far more to an assertive career-development plan than that. So what part of that plan AREN'T you working on? What elements of your plan are you ignoring or procrastinating about? And even more importantly, how much longer are you going to kid yourself about how things will get better if you just act like nothing's wrong? |

Coaching helps smooth your transition and then maximize your effectiveness in the new work environment. "It's never too late to be who you might have been." - George Eliot (1819-1880), Writer |

What
is so special about career coaching? |
|
|
Here are examples of what people say when they are ready for career coaching. Which of these sentiments sound familiar to you? |
|
| "I'd really like to get out of this RUT and wake up excited for work every day ." | |
| "There has got to be a better way to leverage my talent and time - if I only knew what it was and how to get in with the right people..." | |
| “What do I want to be when I grow up.” ... or more accurately.. | |
| “What do I want to do NEXT now that I AM grown up!” | |
| "I need a process for making the right contacts and rebuilding (building) a professional network." | |
| “There are some redeeming qualities about my career but I've got to have a better plan for what's next.” | |
| "It's time for me to earn what I am truly worth." | |
| "I really can't retire until I have a plan to do something meaningful with my time." | |

|
Make yourself irresistibly attractive. |
|
Refine the tools that you need to be successful. |
|
Start living your life with the focus. |

You will not have hazy goals that produce hazy results. You want to clearly define your goals. Write them down, make a plan for achieving them, set a deadline, visualize the results and go after them. You do not want to look back unless you want to go that way! |
A
Master in the art of living
Draws
no sharp distinction
Between her work and her play,
Her labor & her leisure,
Her mind and her body,
Her education and her recreation.
She hardly knows which is which.
She simply pursues her vision
of excellence through whatever
She is doing and leaves
others to determine
Whether she is working or playing.
To herself, she always seems
To be doing both
