We believe that happiness at work is all about finding a job and work environment that allow you to be true to who you really are. Throughout the years we have gathered the best tools in our “9 steps to a fulfilling career” coaching programme to help you get clarity on your true talents and best next step and to find a job that is a perfect match with your natural talents, personality and ambitions.

We’ve created a structured and fun 9 step plan
to discover your talents
and opportunities and create a positive career change

We can imagine you feel overwhelmed by all the questions in your head about how to make a positive change in your career right now. You may have already talked to friends or searched online for tools and tests in an attempt to get clarity on what you want next and how to get there. In our experience this can be very helpful, but more often leaves you even more overwhelmed and not knowing where to start to actually progress in your search.

Since a clear action plan is the number one thing most professionals in your situation feel they need, we have created a unique structured approach to help you define your next career step and land your next job.

Our 9 steps to a fulfilling career

STEP 1

Discovering your talents. Most people get their talents wrong. So in this step you’ll learn to distinguish a true talent from “the things you’re good at” so we reveal your true talents that will define your Unique Selling Point and that will bring you most joy and success in your career.

STEP 2

Your values are at the core of everything you think, feel and do. A mismatch in values is the number one reason people leave their job or feel unhappy. So making these clear helps you find a perfect fit with your next employer!

STEP 3

Understanding what drives you. The clearer you are on what you want, the easier it is to find it. Trust us, we know… To get a job that will bring you joy, you want to understand what you need to thrive, be energized and make your best contribution. This will get crystal clear in this step.

STEP 4

In this step we’ll identify industries and sectors that match your interests and dispositions. These are a crucial element of the DNA of your Personal Brand that we’ll create in step 8. Also we help you clarify which boxes your next employer and job need to tick in order for you to feel it is a perfect fit to your desired lifestyle.

STEP 5

Next you write a Personal Profile, gathering all the information you need to understand who you are and your expertise. Many of our clients have said this one pager has given them the clarity they have been looking for as well as the language to be super clear to potential employers about the value they have to offer.

STEP 6

You can not create your career’s success when you don’t know how you define success. This may even have changed over time. In this step you get clarity on your definition of success, your why and the greater contribution you want to make. It will help you understand what needs to drive your choices in your career.

STEP 7

here are many more opportunities out there than you currently see or realise exist. You can learn how to source and create more opportunities. In this step, we help you expand and then focus your job search profile. This defines your job finding strategy.

STEP 8

In this step you elevate yourself from job seeker to sought after employee. By learning how to present yourself as a Personal Brand and communicate your offer as a solution provider to potential employers. You’ll gain confidence and momentum when networking and in job interviews.

STEP 9

Now you are primed and energized to take powerful and effective actions. In this step we help you map out your action plan, upgrade your LinkedIn presence, prepare for your networking meetings and job interviews so you feel ready to create impact and land your next job.
