CAREER MANAGEMENT

Managing one's career today is much more complicated than ever before. Given the current economic turmoil and inevitable career and job changes that occur, it is critical that leaders take a strategic approach to managing their careers.

Our approach to career management is consistent with  our other work: we provide a customized service to meet your needs. People seek career coaching at different times in their lives and for different reasons. Our job is to meet you where you are at and design a program that ensures you are successful in your career.

We offer career services as either a private coaching engagement, as a part of a corporate coaching program or through career transition (OUTPLACEMENT) services for employees leaving their current positions.

Our approach draws from state-of-the-art knowledge in adult learning, leadership development, business and psychology. We help you keep an eye on the "big picture" which is managing your career not just seeking the next position.


When managing your career you will want to consider the following strategies for success:

Assess	Gain a sound understanding of your strengths, interests, career goals, values, work accomplishments, potential obstacles to your success, personal needs and commitments, life situation.............
Explore	Allow yourself some time to explore different career options, open up new possibilities and endure some period of ambiguity where you are not fully clear on your future steps.............
Focus & Decide	Zero in on the next steps. Make the difficult decision and commit. This may involve considering more than one option at a time and having a plan B or C for contingencies...........
Market Yourself	Develop a top notch resume or bio. Design a succinct elevator pitch. Enhance your interviewing capabilities. Make yourself visible-----network, network, network..............
Succeed	You decide for yourself how to measure success. It might mean getting a new job or it could involve redefining your current position. Maybe it is starting your own business, getting a promotion or making a lateral move within your company. It may be returning to school for additional education and training. It may even mean moving into retirement or semi-retirement mode.
