10 Common Situations Where an Experienced Career Coach Can Help Leap-Frog You Forward in a BIG Way!

As I look back over my last fifteen years as an executive coach and career coach and consider the REASONS I have been engaged by hundreds of coaching clients, a number of common themes definitely emerge -- common career situations that business people find themselves in where an outside expert can provide clarity of direction, "navigational" assistance, "process" expertise, objective and meaningful advice and contribution to effective decision-making. 

Some of those more Common Career Situations (the Top 10) include:

1. I Want to Maximize My Brand Value Where I Am - Establishing and communicating a compelling personal brand that creates maximum network "gravity" and business opportunity, AND achieving extraordinary results as a TOP PERFORMER by maximizing my employment value
2. I Have a New Boss - Developing a winning relationship with a new boss or new leader - Establishing trust and helping to create a "cheerleader" and advocate for you
   
3. I Just Started a New Job - Making a noticeable and sustainable impact in the first 90 days of a new job or new position - Hitting the ground running
   
4. My Career Feels Stagnated - Getting "unstuck" from a stagnated career situation and re-establishing passion and career enthusiasm - The top 5%'ers cannot allow their careers to stagnate
5. I'd Like to Move to a New Industry or New Functional Specialty -- I Am Ready for a Change - Transitioning effectively across industry sectors and/or into a new area of technical/functional expertise
6. I Just Lost My Job - Dealing effectively with job loss and executing a highly effective job search campaign - Taking control and moving on to bigger and BETTER things as quickly as possible
7. My Job Search Seems to Be Going Nowhere - Involved in a seemingly "endless" job search - dealing with frustration, disappointment and loss of momentum; then, re-establishing direction and quickly achieving goals, objectives and desired outcomes
   
8. I'm Up for Promotion - Preparing and planning for an upcoming or near-term promotion.  Staying on top of the "short list" in your organization's leadership talent pool
9. I am Re-entering the Workforce after an extended leave - Getting your career back on track and feeling great about what you do next
   
10. I'm Interested in "Going solo" or Launching My Own Business - Effectively transitioning from "corporate" career success to entrepreneurial career success

In addition to the above career situations, I have been asked by coaching clients to help them realize breakthrough results in achievement of LASTING career success by fully mastering one or more of the the following Key Career Success Philosophies, Strategies and/or Skills -- all of which have been proven essential to achieving LASTING career success:

• "Living" the THREE key Career Success Philosophies:
  
  • Proactive Career Management - The Core Philosophy - Taking control of your career and driving the process of achieving lasting career success.  LESS THAN 5% of business professionals and leaders adopt this philosophy.  That same 5% achieves INCREDIBLE career success.
    
  • Achieving and Sustaining Optimum Work/Life Balance.  Getting this right -- keeping your life in balance -- provides a wonderful foundation for allowing BIG IMPACT at work and on the job.
    
  • Actively Embracing Lifelong Learning - Taking it upon YOURSELF to keep current in the latest thinking in your areas of expertise.
    

• Mastery of the Six Key Career Success Strategies:
  
  • Leveraging Key Strengths
  • Building and Maintaining Powerful Connections
  • Building and Maintaining a Powerful Personal Brand
    
  • Surrounding Yourself with an All-Star Team
  • Mastering Change and Adaptability
  • Becoming a "Value Animal" - ALWAYS Exhibiting a Value-Added Mindset - In everything you do
    

• Mastery of the Six Key Career Success Skills:
• Leading and Following - In order to lead effectively, it is inherent that you "think" like a follower
• Coaching and Mentoring Others - Bringing the absolute BEST out in others
• Communicating Effectively - Speaking, presenting, writing and listening
• Time Management, Planning and Organization - Focusing on the important and minimizing the urgent
• Decision-Making - Developing confidence in the decisions you make ... and trust on the part of others in the decisions you make
  
• Problem-Solving, Selling and Negotiating - Three highly interrelated skills that MUST be mastered

What is YOUR current career situation?  How well have YOU mastered the Career Success Philosophies, Strategies and Skills?

There is a wealth of career coaching resources available.  Choose a coach that has an established track record, a portfolio of highly satisfied coaching clients, and someone with whom you "connect" with from a personal and "chemistry" standpoint.  Interview three or four, check references and choose the one that "feels right" for you.

All the best to your career success!
