    Choose Your Career – Don’t fall into one. Crawl out if you did.

     

    Maybe you have a degree in one thing and a job in another.  Maybe you know exactly what you want to do, but for whatever reason, have not pursued it.  Maybe you have had a series of jobs, but not a career.  And now you want one.  Maybe you’ve enjoyed one career and are ready to move on to the next. 

     

    This program is designed to help you understand what you want out of a career and put together a plan to pursue it.  It includes everything from the imminently practical (your financial reality) to your inner interests (what moves you).  The goal is to have practicality meet passion through self-knowledge, external

    feedback and intelligent analysis.  You will leave with the confidence that you understand your professional direction and have a plan as to how to achieve it. 

    ​

    Elements of the program are:

    ​

    • Determine your priorities: 

      • Where you live, how much income you must make, what kind of environment do you need, what you are going to give up and what you are going to get for that.

    • If you know what you want but have not pursued it, we’ll look at why not. 

      • The answer is either lack of knowledge, abundance of fear, or life circumstances. 

      • We will assess what has stood in your way and determine if you have been blocked for legitimate reasons or worrisome fears.  Then we’ll take practical steps for you to move forward. 

        • Fear does not go away, so you will learn how to work with it. 

        • If circumstances have thwarted you, we’ll look at changing them.  The question is not, CAN you move forward, the question is HOW. 

    • Separate fantasy from reality: 

      • If you want to be a writer but you never take the time to write, that is a fantasy.  If you always wanted to be a surgeon, but you are 40, that is a fantasy. If you have hit a glass ceiling at the executive level, unfortunately, that might be a reality...  

      • We will figure out how much your fantasies are preventing you from seeing reality. 

        • Fantasies feel good and reassure us, they tend to be filled with promise and the comfort of what might be.  They also take up lots of brain space and prevent us from actual pursuits. 

        • Once we assess your reality, we’ll move forward practically.  Fantasies don’t dwell in practicality. 

        • Don’t worry.  You are not giving up your dreams; you are defining them so you can work towards them. 

    • Get a grip on your finances. 

      • What do you have, what do you need, how can you get there.  This is career coaching, generating income is part of the purpose.  We’ll take a realistic look at money. 

    • Understand Your Personality

      • Boring, you say?  I say, Highly informative and most employers use them.  You must know yourself, if for no other reason than they will know you… 

      • There are jobs and careers that will resonate more deeply with you based on how you are wired. 

      • Knowing your personality type is empowering, useful and often, validating.  Consider it a remarkably accurate horoscope on steroids - it is up to you to use it to your advantage.    

    • You will make commitments every session and you will be held accountable to them the next time we meet. 

      • For some people, that’s every other week, for others looking to work quickly and hard, that’s twice a week. 

      • This will be work:

        • You will study yourself,

        • You will understand your goals,

        • You will make decisions,

        • You will make a plan. 

     

    By the time you are done, you will be pursuing a clear path with confidence.
