Career or life change? Decide on the TYPE first
With the help of my fabulous friend and podcast producer, Shelley Rostlund, we’re delving into the subject of career and life change.
Yes, it’s a big subject, but we are honing in on how you can identify the kind of changes that will make you truly happy – be they role, career path or lifestyle related.
Having coached hundreds of people through career and life change, I can say for sure that as soon as you know what the right changes are for YOU, you’re in a better position to take action and do something about it.
In my experience, what typically holds people back is the not knowing. It’s that lack of clarity on what the right thing is, that leaves people feeling stuck and in a frustrating state of limbo, and fearful of making the wrong choices that might make things worse.
If you’re wondering what it looks like to work with someone on helping you navigate this big question of right-fit change, then this episode is for you.
Together, Shelley and I walk through my framework, which specifically supports people to come to a clear answer on what is right for them.
In this episode we discuss:
- How my clients typically feel before they approach me about working with them
- Once people have booked in their first (free) consultation call with me, I give a flavour of what that initial conversation looks and sounds like
- I walk through the details of my five-part framework, explaining what’s involved, the tools and psychometrics I use and why, and how I pull the data together to lead my clients to a firm conclusion on the right career and/or lifestyle changes for them
- I describe in high level terms how the coaching sessions centre around:
- Values
- Strengths
- Personality
- Skills
- Passions, and finally
- Drawing it all together
- I explain how I approach the work like a fact-finding mission, challenging clients based on what I’m seeing and hearing, and providing an opinion, so that together we tease out clear career and lifestyle criteria
I also share outcomes that some of my clients have had by doing this deep reflection and decision-making work, including people who have made seemingly impossible career changes, had books published, and moved countries.
