Hi friends,
Let's talk about what success in a job means for you.
I got a message from my client last week telling me she got the job.
A job where she is paid more, less pressure, in an exciting growing company with flexible working, the level of influence she wanted and career growth opportunities.
A job that will allow her to take micro-adventures, little to no commuting and have financial flexibility to spend on travel.
A job where she can show up fully as herself and be supported with high EQ and people-focused leadership.
β
That's how we defined what "the ideal job" would look like. It was all about defining her version of success.
Success aligned with who she was, what she cared about and what motivated her.
It started with a bolder vision.
Instead of the typical question: "what's your dream job?" π₯±
We started with broader questions like:
"How do you want to live your life?"
"How does the most confident version of you appear in the world?"
"What's important to you across your career AND life"
So often our career plays front and centre
And life squeezes in around the edges, wherever there is space.
But life should be an enabler for work and vice versa.
So together we:
Defined her ideal lifestyle and what brings her joy
Identified her strengths & what she needed to thrive in a job.
Identified her values & what energises her
Understood what she needs to thrive as a person in and out of work
Then we crafted her personal narrative:
Communicating those strengths and her experience in a compelling way.
Building her belief that she is enough.
Defined an ongoing confidence practice using my PRO framework
All of those things gave her a strong foundation to a) go after the right roles (instead of applying to every job in a panic) and b) show up authentically to her interviews knowing exactly how to articulate her strengths and experience.
The goal was to move from unconfident, unclear and beaten down after leaving her last job due to stress...
To confident, empowered, energised...and employed by Jan. Within 3 months of working together.
She nailed it.
We still have 3 sessions left.
So this week I refocused the North Star
"Where do you see yourself in 12 months?"
Her reply:
"I just want to be more of who I am right now. I haven't felt like myself, with this energy, confidence and joy in years. So I just want to protect this version of me - prioritising the things I love, that make me... me along the way"
Honestly guys...could've cried. I felt so proud.
That's the goal. That's what I want for YOU
For you to step into the BOLDEST version of you.
A version you have defined
Based on who you are, what you care about and what you want.
If that's what you want too...
Whether it's a promotion, career change, unstoppable confidence
(Or all three)
And you're ready to have a life-changing six months. Simply reply "BOLD" to this email.
