Career Planning

Answer 3 key career planning questions:

1.Who am I? Discover what gives you "passion" by exploring your values, interests, skills that energize & motivate, prior accomplishments, likes/dislikes, preferences and preferred work environment.

2.Where am I going? Explore practical & ideal career goals. Research alternative goals by planning for and conducting information interviews.

3.How will I get there? Develop your career plan with both a short- and long-term focus. A career plan might include negotiating changes in your current job; going back to school; expanding interests outside of work through volunteering; or deciding to begin a job search.

Coaching

You are a highly motivated and responsible executive, but have you paused to contemplate your own career or professional development? Often more inclined to change jobs than to reflect on your current job and behavior, you may have gotten to where you are without addressing your own strengths, limitations, and development needs.

Executive coaching integrates professional development and planning with personal development. Executive coaching engages with you in customized ways to help you know yourself better as a professional. Coaching helps you slow down, gain awareness, and get feedback on the effects of your words and actions. It is active learning that

• Identifies essential communication and relationship skills
• Reduces destructive behaviors and enhances teamwork
• Helps you adapt to new responsibilities
• Aligns your personal goals to the organization’s goals
• Integrates personal development and organizational needs
