Does Someone In Your Organization Have Discomfort About An Impending Job Change?

I work with leaders in organizations who’re not clear about their job options, or who’re struggling to get clarity on their future career.

There’s usually something going on with their career that’s creating uneasiness in them—and they want some answers.

• Perhaps there’s an unavoidable career change on the horizon for them, and they don’t particularly like it. They’re not looking forward to this change. What's more, they’re not sure what steps they should be taking to get over what seems like a considerable hump in their career. They’re not feeling confident about their future right now.

• Maybe they don’t have certainty about what they want their future career to look like. They could be feeling uncertain about what they want to do, as well as what they are able to do. They’re unsure about what a sensible next step would look like for them. They probably haven’t really got their head around the range of possibilities that are available to them.

• Sometimes they’re not confident they’ll succeed in securing the sort of job they want. They may feel like they’re reacting to what’s happening to them, rather than taking charge of their situation. Perhaps they’re unsure about how they’ll go in the job search process—how best to format their application, what their resume should look like if it’s to really impress, how they can be maximally influential at interview, etc.

The leaders I work with are ready to take a good look at their career to date, and have some frank discussions about the future that they want to create.

My services are not for everyone. They’re for leaders who’re prepared to be candid with some of the tricky questions, in order to get a real handle on a future career that they’ll excel in.

They’ll thrive in working with me if they commit to working through a proven, somewhat structured process, and they are prepared to focus on what we’ve agreed they need to do to define and create their ideal future career.

Typically, the people I work with are dealing with the following sorts of challenges…

Are you confronted by any of these career challenges?

• You’re not satisfied with your current role or your future promotion prospects. And you don’t know what options are available to you. You’re not sure what type of role would give you the most satisfaction. Perhaps you’re not sure how successful you’re likely to be in finding such a role.

• You know you need to make a change, but you don’t know how to make it happen. This could be because you haven’t applied for a new position in some time. Whatever the reason, you’re not confident about how to construct your resume or approach prospective employers. How do you find out about those 75% of vacancies that aren’t advertised? What job finding resources are there that you don’t know about?

• You only have limited time. Your redundancy package or other financial resources are limited. Your search for a new position has to be effective in order that your standard of living does not suffer excessively.

• You’re not good at interviews. You may be great in the job but you don’t do justice to yourself in the interview process. How do you build rapport with the interview panel? How do you answer those tricky questions with honesty and integrity? How long should your responses be? How can you use questions to your advantage?

• The stress of your current situation is starting to show up in your relationships—particularly with those who matter most. You want to be more confident and less reactive to the situation. You want to be able to confront difficulties skilfully and professionally. You certainly don’t want those who are close to you to suffer.
