Career Change Coaching or Career Coaching- A mini-course for your review

How can Career Coaching and Career Change Coaching Services benefit my life and career?



CAREER COACHING DECISION-MAKING  - YOUR MINI-COURSE.

Day One
One of the most recent developments in the job search industry is the evolution of the career coach as an essential component for any top-level job search campaign. We hear about coaches in the media, read about them in resume books, and see them on different TV shows including Oprah! Five years ago, coaching was a virtually unknown profession. Today, it is evolving at a phenomenal rate.

Are you taking advantage of this powerful and advancing trend?

Do you know what a career coach is?

Could you benefit from the expertise of one?

A career coach is a trained professional, with a number of expertise in the helping professions, who will:
Assist you with skills assessment
Assist you in planning your job search
Assist you in developing your campaign to advance your career
Assist you in marketing yourself and managing your career on the long-term.

To determine the value a career coach or a career change coach would bring to you, go through the following checklists.

Career Focus

¨

Your career coach will assist you in identifying and assessing your qualifications, job preferences, likes and dislikes, immediate objectives and long-term goals. Your coach will help you evaluate your worth in the employment market and your value within specific industries.

Career Change & Transition

What skills do you have that are transferable between jobs and/or industries?

¨
¨
Do you know today’s “in vogue” industries and professions?
¨
¨
Do you have the “correct” skills to transition into these high-growth industries?

Your coach will guide you in identifying and evaluating all of your possibilities and guide you toward critical market intelligence to formulate your job search action plan.

Personal & Family Matters

Yes
No

¨
¨
Do you have personal or family issues that are directly impacting your job search?

Is your spouse currently employed and not anxious to leave his/her position?

Is your age or your perception of age impacting your campaign results?
¨
¨
Are you tied to your current community because of extra-curricular activities you’re involved in?
¨
¨
Do you have a physical disability that might be negatively impacting your search, but has never impacted your work performance?
¨
¨
Are you depressed because your job search has not progressed at the pace you anticipated?
¨
¨
Do you need an advisor as you launch a new career or business, a confidante or a job search partner?

Your coach plays the role of your sounding board, supporting you to determine how to evaluate and prioritize these issues in relation to your search, how to best overcome challenges and obstacles standing in your way and how to best position blocks, to your advantage.

A NEW ARTICLE TO GIVE YOU SOME PERSPECTIVE ON JOBS IN 2010

A new article from "Advancing women.com"

HERE IS AN ARTICLE I FOUND AT "Advancing Women.com". What does this say to you seeking to change careers or feeling that you are stuck in whatever career you now find yourself? Any ideas? Any questions?

10 Promising Jobs For 2010


Compensation Not Likely to Increase For Most Positions, But Some Areas Offer Encouragement

MENLO PARK, CA — Starting salaries in the accounting and finance, information technology (IT), and administrative fields are expected to remain relatively flat or see modest declines next year, but some positions will buck this trend, according to the 2010 Salary Guides from Robert Half International. Research for the guides provides insight into compensation and hiring trends within each field, and identifies 10 positions where national average salaries are holding strong or seeing slight gains.
“A focus on cost control will continue to shape the hiring landscape next year, and starting salaries clearly are being influenced by that trend,” said Max Messmer, chairman and CEO of Robert Half International. “At the same time, companies recognize the need to invest in staff members with specific expertise who can help them capitalize on emerging opportunities.”
Added Messmer, “In the current environment, some firms are taking advantage of the large pool of top talent now available by selectively adding full-time staff in key areas.”
Following is an overview of compensation trends, segmented by field, along with 10 positions showing steady or increasing compensation, according to the Salary Guides:
2010 Salary Trends: Accounting and Finance
Starting salaries for accounting and finance positions are expected to increase by an average of 0.5 percent in 2010. Businesses seek financial professionals who can help manage costs and enhance profitability. Companies also value personnel who possess deep technical expertise, are excellent communicators and collaborate effectively with colleagues across multiple departments.
Positions with the best prospects include:
1. Tax accountant: Companies seek tax accountants who can help their organizations achieve bottom-line savings through effective tax management strategies. Businesses also need their guidance to maintain compliance with tax regulations, such as FAS 109 and FIN 48. Tax accountants with one to three years of experience at large companies (more than $250 million in sales) are expected to see an average national starting salary in the range of $46,500 to $61,500.
2. Compliance director: Firms need professionals who can help them comply with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission mandates and prepare for the potential transition to International Financial Reporting Standards. New regulations that are issued as a result of the financial crisis may generate further demand for professionals with the requisite compliance expertise. The starting salary range for a compliance director at a small company (up to $25 million in sales) is forecast to be $83,750 to $108,500.
3. Credit manager/supervisor: Companies need professionals who can contribute to the bottom line by reducing inefficiencies and enhancing profitability. As a result,credit and collections specialists who can evaluate credit risk, manage delinquent payments and help improve cash flow are in demand. Base compensation for credit managers/supervisors working in small companies is projected to range between $42,500 to $57,500.
4. Senior financial analyst: Businesses need professionals who are able to evaluate financial plans, forecasts and budgets, and identify ways to improve profitability. A senior financial analyst at a midsize company ($25 million to $250 million in sales) is anticipated to earn $57,750 to $74,000 in starting salary in 2010.
2010 Salary Trends: Information Technology
National starting salaries for IT roles are forecast to decrease by an average of 1.3 percent in 2010. Professionals who are most in demand are able to tie IT initiatives to larger business objectives, helping their firms become more efficient and reduce costs. In addition, managers seek candidates with strong communication skills for projects that involve collaborating with peers in other areas of the company.
Positions with the best prospects include:
5. Network administrator: Cloud computing, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Software as a Service (SaaS) have significantly increased the complexity of and requirements placed on networks. Further, chief information officers interviewed for the fourth-quarter Robert Half Technology IT Hiring Index and Skills Report cited network administration as the most in-demand skill set.Network administrators can expect to see starting salaries in the range of $54,500 to $80,250 in the coming year.
6. Information systems security manager: Protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information from internal and external breaches is a must-have for companies of all sizes, making security professionals integral to the IT department. The salary range for an information systems security manager is expected to be $96,500 to $130,750.
7. Systems engineer: As companies implement new technologies, technical services roles remain critical to the organization. Systems engineers are in demand to help companies develop and maintain technical infrastructure, hardware and system software components in support of a variety of IT projects. Base compensation for these professionals is projected to range from $64,250 to $93,250.
2010 Salary Trends: Administrative and Office Support
Starting salaries for administra­tive professionals are projected to decrease by an average of 2.2 percent in 2010. However, demand is steady for administrative candidates with broad expertise and the ability to multitask, especially within teams that have been stretched thin and have redistributed work among fewer employees. In addition, firms want support staff who are confident as they approach unexpected situations, quick to learn new skills and able to help others adapt to change.
Positions with the best prospects include:
8. Medical records clerk: As more hospitals and healthcare organizations transition from paper to electronic medical records, facilities will seek medical records clerks who can help supervise the scanning and processing of patient data. These individuals can expect to earn a starting salary of $23,750 to $31,500 in 2010.
9. Customer service representative: In the current economy, hiring managers consider customer service the function most critical to their organizations’ success, according to the 2009 Employment Dynamics and Growth Expectations (EDGE) Report from Robert Half and CareerBuilder. The salary range for a customer service representative is projected to be $22,750 to $30,750.
10. Executive assistant: Companies with leaner teams are looking for employees to take on a wider range of duties. Executive assistants who can wear many hats, support multiple managers and adapt readily to change are in particular demand. These individuals are likely to see starting salaries in the range of $35,000 to $47,000.
Messmer noted that many firms continue to report challenges finding highly skilled candidates, despite current unemployment figures. “Recruiting difficulties are the result of a number of factors, including continued competition for the best workers, the unwillingness of professionals to leave secure positions and employers themselves being more selective to avoid costly hiring mistakes. To keep up with business demands and reduce the need for additional layoffs, many firms have increased their reliance on interim professionals and temporary-to-full-time arrangements.”

Part Two of TOWARD A SELF-TALK MANUAL

SELF-TALK







Article 1....part two
TOWARD A SELF-TALK MANUAL FOR COACHES AND COACHEES





For the Coaching Client
 contd.

It is obvious that for every challenge, obstacle, and threat, there are scenarios within our reach to select, to determine the outcome we choose and that no outcome is a ‘done deal’.  The time and energy we project making the feared outcome so real that it stifles and depresses us, is the same time and energy we can use in self-talk, writing our reality into production and in mentally rehearsing the better and more ideal outcomes.  Coaches and clients can work on this and each will support the achievement and satisfaction they are envisaging in their immediate futures.

The manual you develop will be based on your own experience with self-talk replacing self-doubt and chronic ‘I can’t see that happening’.

Here is a chart.  If you are tired of charts, get rid of the others and use this one.  THE SELF-TALK MONITORING AND MOTIVATION CHART

Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Spiritual self-talk -for cleansing and focus
Imagining the
highest and best – for creativity
Intellectual self-talk – for ability to be logical and to deliver
Action self-talk – for get-up-and-go steps and energy
Fun and joy self-talk – to raise level of happiness
Topic = matter at hand




Scenario: whatever you devise or determine





You could do a seven-day chart but this is just an example. What else could you add to this on Saturday and Sunday?  Maybe do a review and make remarks about how great this is turning out. By the end of a few months, you will have made your own tool to keep on track and to keep talking powerfully to yourself every day, because you know that you have done it before and that it works.

A number of theories as well as established facts in neuroscience are increasingly supporting the idea of not only the influence of mind over matter, but that mind and matter may be one and the same, in the sense that the brain is influenced by our thoughts and that it flexes at our command (our unflinching focus). To take it further, it is supported too that objective reality is under our own influence as we observe it.  As if we are not yet confused, the sum total is that space and time and future reality are all intertwined. Befuddling and enlightening is what it is, at the same time, but with great implications for how we look at what can and cannot be. We will delve into these matters further at another time.

Let me know how powerful you have become talking to yourself.

Towards a Self-Talk Manual - Coaches and Coachees

SELF-TALK





Article 1....part one
TOWARD A SELF-TALK MANUAL FOR COACHES AND COACHEES




Both Coaches and their clients need to do some healthy self-talking each day. I discovered the general value of self-talk as a girl going to school and preparing for examinations. I confirmed the psychological and philosophical values of this as an adult. Now as a coach years later, the first page I envisioned for my website was titled: Self-Coaching Tips. The idea sprung out of me automatically. This is not contrary to our coaching template, since we do indeed insist that the client is wholesome, resourceful and knows best.




Self-talk is a necessary component of self-management and self-management is a necessary component of being a coach and of being a coaching client. The coach has to manage emotions, feelings, reactions, pattern of speech, pace of speech and the relationship between herself and each individual client or group of clients. The coachee has to self-manage the boundaries between himself and his coach, his choice of agendas and his accountability for actions taken as a result of coaching. Let’s look further at each side of the coin, for the Coach and for the client and then I will share a helping tool for reminding you if you have missed your daily dose of self-talk. Now remember, if you talk out loud in the presence of others, it’s called madness. I have done it that way myself all my life.






I am also a believer in the Habbukuk advice – writing it and making it plain – whatever your thoughts, objectives, goals and visions are. So combining both you have a powerful tool for influencing your mind to influence your brain to influence your actions and outcomes.






Sometimes I write and self-talk and when the outcomes happen and I look back I am not sure whether I am looking at a record of what happened or my projection of what I wanted to happen. They could be one and the same anyway. So be careful to date your written-talk, since you can’t depend on your memory to do that. As a coach you can self-talk a number of things, of course with a good dose of imagination, as well as of spiritual vibrations, which we will not get into now.






1. your first coaching session ( for new coaches)


2. your first big-paying client encounter when you ask for the fees you deserve


3. your first group coaching session in the library hall


4. your next bridgeline session when 100 persons have signed up


5. your next meeting with that Executive who is skeptical about coaching




In your self-talk and imagining you already have the positive results under your belt, so why would you go back over it and re-hash fear and doubt? If you are tempted to do that, rehearse the scenes again as if in replay or ask your own coach to walk you through it the way you saw it all playing out.




For the Coaching Client




Overcome your fear and self-judgment by mentally rehearsing and then airing the scenario you feel so ‘weak’ about, with your coach


• the truth about why you don’t want to change jobs


• what you will really say at your next job interview


• the steps you know you must take to get your business started in six months


• how you will begin to behave to manage conflict in your office


• how you will plan and stick to your plans to save money
