Together, we have more than 35 years experience as career strategists and coaches, and have been pioneers in the development of delivery in a virtual environment. We were drawn to our business partnership because we both share the same philosophy and approach to career management. That is, we have the same passion for helping people lead better lives through their work, and do so from a strategic, business-focused perspective. We’re not counselors because it’s not about fixing something that's broken. It’s about taking what you have and making it better – making the most of it.
For us, career management is all about the strategy, because good career management isn’t just about doing a good job at work, or just writing a good résumé. It isn’t even just about liking your job. It’s about managing your employability – keeping an eye on the ‘bigger picture’ to ensure your skills and expertise are marketable and in demand. It’s about managing your work life; making informed decisions; and reinventing yourself on your terms, not someone else’s.
For instance, when we help you identify the perfect career option, it’s about finding a role and an environment in which you can be successful and “flourish” -- loving what you do, being appreciated, and ultimately being your “best self” at work. To drill it down to the more tactical level, it’s not about how you craft the perfect résumé, it’s about having a clear focus, understanding the strategy of marketing yourself, and developing an on-target message.
The reality of today’s global job market is that the emphasis has shifted from ‘lifetime employment’ to ‘lifetime employability.’ That is, focusing on the needs of the marketplace and not on jobs. The focus is on positioning yourself to meet those needs, whether you currently have that expertise or need to develop it. In fact, many of the jobs that exist today did not exist 5 years ago, as the face of work is constantly changing. Experts agree that the employment opportunities that will be ‘most in demand’ 10 years from now are roles that haven’t been thought of today.
Where are you on this issue? Are you ahead of the curve and proactively taking steps to better manage your career? Or, have you been shaken by the recession and find yourself only now taking steps to ensure your employability? Could it be that you’re looking to reinvent yourself and finally do what you want to do? In fact, are you one of the millions of people looking to find meaning in your work and gain greater levels of satisfaction and personal fulfillment? We call that finding your “Flourish Factor.”
It doesn’t matter if you are a ‘boomer’ looking for an ‘encore career;’ a veteran looking to move into the private sector, or a recently laid off professional.
