How Do I Get the Competitive Edge with Executive Coaching?
- How can you have a successful job search, earn more money, get the top assignments, advance your career, and deal with some of those workplace issues without spending more time at work or increasing your stress?
- How can you get a competitive and professional edge and career advice, as well as develop a career strategy that works for you immediately and in the future?
- How can you select the right people, lead your staff more effectively, and manage a problem boss all with greater ease?
First, directing your focus to this important part of your life gives you an enormous advantage over your colleagues and the marketplace. Few, if any, of them, are investing their time and energy in this critical area, even fewer hire an executive or career coach or seek career advice.
Let me also assure you, the challenges you face are the same for so many of my executive and career coaching clients. They too were asking...
"What advice do I need to have to take charge of my career
or job search and take back my life?"
For most executives, professionals and business owners, working with an executive coach or career counselor is an important and efficient first step. I can help you articulate what you really want, define what is working (and what is not), create a career strategy and tools, as well as the steps necessary to achieve your career objectives. I can also assist you in identifying who, or what, prevents you from getting where you want to go. Maybe it's managing people, a lack of confidence, conflicting priorities or possibly you need to make a change. We can develop a job search career toolkit to include a resume, cover letter, networking strategy and job search marketing plan. We can set goals and tactics.
If you have an idea for a product or business but can't seem to get off the mark, I can give you with practical advice as well as support and encouragement.
So, if you are open to the idea of getting to the next level... why aren't you doing it?
It's not you. More likely it is the demands of the workplace - the crazy hours, the push for increased productivity, clueless co-workers, mercurial supervisors, revolving management. The politics and the ever-changing company focus demand all of your physical and emotional resources. In addition, you have responsibilities at home. You say, "I can't afford executive coaching, a career coach or career advice right now." I ask,
- How much is at stake if you do nothing or don't ask for advice?
- What if you don't get the promotion?
- Earn fewer bonus dollars?
- Take the wrong position or change careers?
- Retain your non-productive employee?
- Fail to keep your top performers?
- How much will it cost if you do not have a game plan or do not seek career advice?
Your career has been a low priority for too long.
You have more control than you realize.
Here's what a client has to say:
"Why should you work with executive and career coach Jane Cranston? I have 3 reasons: for yourself, for yourself, for yourself...I recommend Jane because she is professional, experienced, intelligent, insightful, honest, direct, caring and thoughtful. You would be hard pressed to find a better investment in yourself."
