For Careerists
Who I work with
Careerists are professionals who are ambitious and motivated by career advancement. I work with experienced professionals in highly competitive industries who are at a critical juncture in their careers. They come from a variety of industries which include financial services, technology, and marketing.
The professionals I work with are highly motivated, work long hours, yet enjoy their leisure activities. Whether they are ambitious and want to get ahead or trying to safeguard their positions in times of turmoil, they know they have to take greater control of their careers in order to stand out and succeed.
Do any of these situations sound familiar?
- Your career seems to be stuck in the slow lane but you don’t know how to speed things up. You worry about your lack of progress at work but don’t know how to effectively promote yourself.
- You feel burned out and know you can do other things but don’t know how to repackage yourself so others take you seriously. You lack direction and need some guidance on how to go about it.
- You don’t think colleagues/employers/clients see you the same way you see yourself and want to change their perceptions. You need to manage your career better but don’t have the tools.
- You are looking for a job but can’t seem to land anything and you have run out of new ideas.
I will have the greatest success with clients who:
- Are willing to work hard. You know that success doesn’t come about without a lot of hard work.
- Are open to change. You know that sometimes you don’t always end up where you thought you were going.
- Believe in their abilities. You know you have what it takes, you just need a better road map to get to where you want to be.
- Are willing to try new things. If necessary you are willing to move out of your comfort zone and explore new ideas and try new methods to achieve your goals.
