Coaching A Winning Career
Do you have clients struggling with their careers?
There are times in all of our careers when we are at a crossroads. Some of us actively seek our next step, while others wait for the next step to come to them. If you believe you can have a career that brings you excitement and fulfillment, then you will have that.
Coach
Your Clients to a Career They Love
Walk your clients through these five simple steps:
1. Describe
What You Want
You cannot get what you want
until you can describe what it is. What do you see yourself doing if
there were no perceived obstacles in your way? Give yourself the
freedom to brainstorm and the answers you are seeking will come.
2. Explore
Your Options
What did
you learn from Step 1? Take your realizations and turn them into real
career choices. Begin researching and using contacts you know today, or
people you haven't met yet, to help you.
3. Create
Your Game Plan
Take
what you gathered from the exploratory process and put these steps into
your calendar.
a) What I want.
b) When I will get what I want.
c) The actions I will take to get there.
4. Implement
Your Plan
Keep the momentum going. Set
daily, weekly, and monthly goals.
Persistence and forward
movement is what will help you reach your goal.
5. Reach Your Goal
You made it! Applaud yourself for your hard work and effort.
Congratulations on discovering you can handle anything that comes your
way.
