STEP 3
V = Value Your Inner Wisdom

Lack of confidence in yourself to achieve your career goals will sabotage your efforts in having exciting and fulfilling work. As you move through your career transition, it s important to avoid listening to the voice of your Inner Critic which is always pessimistic and discouraging. A wide variety of coaching tools/techniques will be used to help you avoid self-sabatoge so you can attain clarity and focus. You will be empowered to build on your already existing work strengths and to expediently move forward in achieving career success as you define it. You will be effectively counselled to address internal negative blocks such as:
  • Fear & procrastination
  • Low motivation & energy
  • Anger & frustration
  • Doubt & indecision
  • Arrogance & pride
  • Boredom & underemployment

STEP 4
E = Express Your Career Brand

Career transitions may, at first, seem a little overwhelming due to the fierce competition you may face in pursuing your career dreams. In today's tight job market, it's essential that you identify and express your personal career brand to give yourself a unique and sustainable career market position. Whether your dream job is to work for a top ranked company or to be gainfully self-employed, you must create a powerful career brand to distinguish yourself from the crowd of leaders and professionals with equally strong qualifications. You will be counselled to:
  • Define your strategic message
  • Position your career brand
  • Build a strong career reputation
  • Access $100+K opportunities
  • Launch a personal career visibility campaign
  • Identify your value proposition to organizations
  • Attract a consistent flow of interesting and lucrative opportunities
