CAREER DEVELOPMENT

How to move to the next level in my career?
Career selection (not only for youngsters)

Many people know the feeling of “I'm stuck” when we suddenly realize that we have been doing the same thing for many years and this does not bring us enough joy and satisfaction.

What is important, whether this feeling is temporary (which is normal for anyone, including the most successful person, we all get tired) or this is really a point where you should do something about it.

If the desire to develop a career has matured, the client, together with the coach, explores the possible options (and there are always more than one) and chooses the one that resonates most with their heart and is achievable.

Then, the client, in partnership with the coach, develops a plan to achieve the goal, and then there can be three main options:

Plan remains a plan on paper
The client follows his plan on his own without coach's support, because creating a plan supported by vision was enough for client
The client follows the plan with the support of the coach. Because there is always something else competing for time, e.g. new projects, clients, fires, and so on. Meeting regularly with coach helps you to stay focused and keep moving towards your goal

Olga's story

Olga works as a manager in a global IT company with tens of thousands of employees. Her goal is a promotion that stopped a few years ago. Many processes at the company, including the promotion process, are standardized and unified, which, on the one hand, gives an understanding of what needs to be done. On the other hand, these processes (preparation for assessment, collection of proofs, feedbacks, the assessment procedure itself), as well as the negative experience of one of the assessment attempts, cause internal tension and rejection among many colleagues, including Olga.

Goal for coaching: Preparation for assessment

Success Criteria:

Gathering all the necessary information
Preparation of the necessary artifacts (presentations, feedbacks, etc.)
Assessment dry-run and working on improvement areas

Result: Olga, with my help, determined the training plan, booked regular slots in her calendar for preparation , followed and adjusted plan on-the-go passed the certification on the first attempt.

Could she have done all this without a coach? Probably, yes, but she had not done so in previous years. Working with a coach gave Olga support, motivation and responsibility
