Stepping into a new role

Eddies swirl around the stepping stones that lead to the other side of the river.  It can take courage, energy and balance to step from one stone to the next.  Sometimes you wobble, and slip and other times leap nimbly, progressing towards the other side…….

Finding the ideal role step by step

Finding a new job can feel a bit like that.  Whether you have instigated the change or external factors have played a part, getting to the other side and landing the ideal job can be challenging. Focusing on the far bank – the ideal job - maintaining a strong desire and confidence that you can reach it, is key to the success in career transition.  So too, is knowing what to do when you wobble, feel unsure of the next step and if you can even reach it.

Career transition happens at different stages

The transition from one role into another happens at many stages of life: at the end of a corporate graduate programme, from being in the team to leading the team; ‘empty nesters’ returning to work; after redundancy; or when your role has disappeared due to new technologies, and you need to reinvent yourself to stay relevant.  The transition is not just about attaining the role but continues through into the onboarding period and beyond. 

Career transition coaching is the handrail that steadies and supports you over the fast-flowing waters.  It enables you to feel confident that the next step is the right one.  And that you can take it.  It enables you to stay on track even when the water beneath seems closer than the goal of the far bank.  It enables you to feel safer, more confident and more focused on where you want to go than tackling it alone.

What could career transition coaching look like?

To support you, your needs and aspirations, I offer tailored career coaching programmes. It  might include:

• focusing on identifying your current values and how to align them with your ideal future organisation

• taking a behavioural or leadership psychometric assessments to raise your awareness on strengths and development areas

• upgrading your CV/resume from being a reflection of past achievements, to also sharing your future aspirations, offerings and drive. 

• working out your network and the courage to reach out and use it

• honing your interview techniques

Your tailored programme also acts as a form of accountability to progress and staying on track.  This way you steadily take the steps to cross the river and reach your goal of the ideal job.  One that fits you professionally and personally.
