Whether you are currently out of work and looking for the right position, wishing to improve your visibility and effectiveness in your current organisation or wishing to effect a total career change, you will benefit from a thorough analysis of your career, your prospects and your marketability, of which these will be some of the outcomes:

• A clear personal vision and a career path which is compatible with this
• A job which has 'daily meaning' based on your own values rather than just 'daily bread’.
• A good understanding of your own market potential and how you can optimise it
• A good, up-to-date CV in case you come across the ideal job (or it comes across you!)
• A clear self-marketing plan and confidence to present yourself well in writing, on the telephone and in interviews
• Knowledge of how to deal with recruitment intermediaries in the job search process

Once we have completed the first stage analysis with you, we shall then embark on a personalised coaching programme (a combination of face-to-face and telephone/email coaching) which will be designed to meet your specific needs and budget.

A likely first step in your career transition coaching programme will be the establishment of a strong Personal Foundation. By putting this firmly in place, you will be creating the most secure basis upon which to build your future life and career.

Many employers are now building their performance management and career development programmes around Competencies (personal attributes/success factors). We can help you identify your own personal competency set and develop new competencies which will enable you to visibly improve your performance which will gain you clearer recognition in your work.

These invariably include the 'softer' management skills of presentation and communication, coaching and mentoring as well as the development of good leadership behaviours, fundamental to building a healthy corporate culture and climate.

CAREER TRANSITION PROGRAMMES

One-to-One Executive and Management Career Transition Programme

Designed for senior executives and managers for whom an individual, person-centered Career Transition Programme is most appropriate. These may be variable in length and intensity to meet individual needs and budgets. The programme may include a transition to semi- or early-retirement for mature managers and/or a move into to self-employed status if required. One-to one programmes include a very high proportion of personal contact with the consultant.

Group Self-Marketing Programmes

Designed for small groups of managers and white collar staff wishing to gain the necessary skills to effect their own career transition and job search. This programme combines group training/tuition in job search techniques with individual consultant support to specific issues. Workshops are held in small groups over 1, 2, or 3 days covering all key elements of Career Transition.

Career Centres

Designed for large groups subject to voluntary or compulsory redundancy. Generally run onsite and manned by qualified consultants, trainers and administrators, tailored to meet the organisation’s specific needs on a flexible basis. Additional facilities may include meetings with DWP personnel to advise on benefits and contacts with local employers to generate job opportunities. Depending on numbers and time-scale, the Career Centre may be open for a specific or variable length of time.
 

Pre-Retirement Programmes

Designed for individuals or small groups who may be planning retirement following job loss. Individually tailored and delivered (often including partners) dealing with issues such as finance, health and well-being, part-time and voluntary work and developing new interests and leisure activities.

Our consultants are widely experienced at working with individuals and groups affected by the need to make a career move.
