ANY of these sound Familiar?

  • Graduating soon but not sure how to get that internship or the first job

  • Making a career change but not sure how to move forward

  • Transitioning from Military / Federal life into Civilian

  • Just accepted an expat job, but I never worked in another country

  • Life events happening and it all feels like too much to handle

​

One of the biggest challenges when going through a transition is to find someone you can trust to bring some perspective to your situation, and support you through what can be a challenging journey as you get to grips with the changes.

​

​Coaching in these times can help you to

​

  • Assess and identify your values, skills, knowledge, and strengths against the requirements of the transition,

  • Develop a personal development action plan to address these gaps quickly

  • Understand the challenges and opportunities and clarify early priorities

  • Position your unique set of skills and experience for a given transition

 

It also helps you gain control of your schedule and planning, so you always have time to step back and reflect on your wins and next steps.

Navigating a career/life transition is no easy feat.  These changes are considered major milestones in your life.  It can sometimes be intimidating or too much effort to go through these changes alone, and try to find the best way to move forward. 

​

Transition requires you to step outside your comfort zone, take some risks, and to adopt to the new reality according to your values.  It certainly needs time and space for you to reflect and adjust. Some of the common career transitions are

​

  • Identifying your strengths, areas of development, core values

  • Clarifying senior management's expectations and objectives

  • Building and developing a team

  • Managing multicultural teams

  • Taking over a managerial role for the first time

You might looking to land an internship or your first entry-level job after college.
