Experienced Professional
You might feel stuck, or maybe trapped, in a career or job that no longer fits you or your lifestyle. You might be in a role that for all intents and purposes seems successful to those around you, but is making you feel unhappy, anxious or stressed. Maybe it was always the wrong job, or maybe it has been the right job, but something has changed around you, the management, or the team. Maybe the vision and objective of your business has changed, and it no longer sits as comfortably as it once did. Do you think about changing, but don’t know where to start?
We offer a structured coaching programme that will equip you with the tools to take control of your own career path, to take assertive action in any of the key stages with confidence and move positively towards a more fulfilling job.
But structure isn’t aways everything. We’ll help you to learn more about yourself, what drives and motivates you, identify your key skills, so that you’re in a more informed starting position to navigate or career transition. And if your CV is already a 10/10, great, we’ll spend more time on those interviews you find so tricky or that LinkedIn thing you look at once a year.
The starting point is you, and that’s what we build your personalised programme around. We’ll meet with you online, relaxed with a cup of tea, and have a good chat. We’ll then build our suggested programme specifically for you.
Introduction & Initial Fact-Finding
A call or meeting to understand our starting point together, to answer any questions and to start developing your personal career roadmap and relationship with your career coach.
Dedicated Assessment
We’ll look at a range of key areas including emotional intelligence, paradoxical strengths, behavioural competencies and many more to better understand you, your motivations and what drives you, to be in a stronger position to not only move your career forward, but in the right direction.
Assessment Review
We’ll walk through the results of the assessment with you to further develop your personalised roadmap, and for you to have a better understanding of your key strengths and areas for development.
Opportunity Strategies & Tactics
Strategies to better understand the market you operate within, and what opportunities exist within it. We’ll look at the market, what’s obvious and what opportunities might be hidden. We’ll also look at how to unearth them yourself, how to get the most out of agencies and head-hunters, and to develop your own network.
Developing An Impactful CV
CVs are read in under 6 seconds by the human eye. Technology will make the decision in a fraction of that time. Whether it’s refining and optimising an existing CV, or developing a totally new one, we’ll help you to create a document that will work for human eyes as well as an increasing amount of AI screening tools, and land the key messages to get you on the shortlist.
LinkedIn & Personal Public Brand
Used by over a billion people, with over 67 million companies and with 14.9k job applications every minute, so do you have a profile? How effective is it? The first social media platform is essential to both promoting your personal brand and for landing the next role. We’ll help you optimise and maximise this incredibly powerful free tool. And with an increasing number of organisations researching individuals online, we’ll help you portray the right message across the social media spectrum.
Self employment
What is IR35 or an umbrella company? Is contracting something I can think about? What are the tax implications? We’ll help you understand the market and the steps to take to open up freelance work within your sector.
Strategies of Effective Interviewing
We all think we know how to carry on our side of a two-way business conversation, but we can get much fuller and more-accurate information if we pay careful attention to strategies of effective interviewing and give ourselves the best opportunity for success in informal discussions and more formal competency-based settings. We’ll also look at the subtle differences and similarities between face to face and online settings.
Developing Resilience Through Change
Everyone’s journey is different, for some people the changes they want will happen quickly, for others it may take some weeks, months or even years. Meanwhile, they might be in a professional situation that is far from ideal. Resilience is the ability to adapt well in the face of threat, adversity or significant stress, and the working environment can sometimes be a big factor. We’ll help you to recognise the signs to be able to steward you mind and emotions in the professional context.
Interview Preparation
This includes studying and decoding the Job Description for job opportunities you’ve applied, and been shortlisted for, to understand what questions may come up during your discussion, formulating the right responses and examples to play back to the panel, and putting it to the test in a mock interview environment.
New Role Preparation
How to prepare for the new role, to set realistic targets to work to and to formulate your own personal plan for success in the first 3 months. It’s great to celebrate our success when we land that new job we’re excited about, but the personal development doesn’t have to stop. Be the high performing talent that not only hits the ground running but makes an immediate positive impact to the new organisation.
