New times ahead? 

Right now, what's driving your personal aspirations?   Are you fulfilled or stuck?

What is going on in your life right at this moment - are you taking control, taking action or time to dream?

When we start to visualise and/or articulate the outcomes we want then we can start to take small steps of action towards where we want to get to.

So a question for you  "if I knew it was easy and possible, what would I be doing"?

  ...  Are you looking for new times ahead?    .....

And if you would like to chat about how coaching might help, do get in touch

Path to promotion?

Being interviewed? Why should they give you the job? 

Say the answer aloud to yourself a couple of times.

It's not just why you want the job - it's why you should get the job?

Can you articulate this really clearly? once you believe it - "they" will too.

As always, if you want some support considering your careeer - very happy to have a no obligation exploratory discussion.

Last week I'd had this discussion with a client, she had the first phone interview - they only asked one question, why should I give you the job?  She got a face to face interview and a job offer!

Liveliehood or lifestyle or both?

Yes a common discussion in coaching ......

What if I can't get a job I'd enjoy?  Am I begin realistic? Is it possible?

I've got responsibilities - I need a certain amount of income.

I believe both are possible and I've seen my clients achieve career transition shifts, find new jobs, organisation's, cultures that suit them, their skills, experience, personal qualities and their values.  I've made the shift myself.

Yes - it can be done, it may take effort and hard work and energy - and it may be easier than you think! Only if you take a step or action towards a new horizon will you know.  What will happen if you do nothing?

All it takes is for you to do something about it rather than think about it.

Coaching provides you a catalyst, a picture of where you want to get to - and a plan of action as to how you might get there!

Being bored, frustrated, stressed, anxious - you may as well put that energy and emotion to something positive for your life and career. 

If you believed it was possible what would you be doing?  Think of one action and do it, get started and build some momentum.

If you want to talk about how coaching could support you, get in touch for an exploratory chat.

Point of change

Whether the dilemma is "I don't know", too much choice, too few options or feeling trapped, stuck ..... too tired, exhausted, too busy, too confused?

Coaching helps clarify options and creates a plan of steps and actions on how to get there.  It gives you a confidential space and framework to support you think about what's important to you, right now and for the future.

So maybe you know what you want and dont know how to get there? Maybe you know something has to change and you don't know what or how? Maybe you've been trying and hit obstacles, get stuck?

If you are on the point of change a conversation with a professional coach may just make the difference.

If you want to move forward, things to be different in the next 3,6 months - next year!  Invest in yourself and your life, career, relationships.

Don't be in the same place months from now, still tired, confused, frustrated -  if you are on the point of change and want to make it happen - get in touch, take the first step.  Lets have a conversation and then you can decide - your way forward, a plan that fits you get what you want.

The action is down to you!

Job done!

Sometimes  - it's about pushing through, working hard, using your energy well ...... when one of my client's got one job offer recently on a Thursday and then another the following Monday - it was all worth it for them.

I was inspired as I watched them keep going, be courageous in the tough times, work hard, focus when so much was going on - job done - they did what they started out to do.

What do you want to say job done about?   Do get in touch to chat - and to explore more about how coaching could work for you. A coach walks alongside you, I can support you clarify and achieve....
