If you work in a large organization, you have a lot to worry about:  managing your team, managing your boss, managing your career path, politics, and getting something accomplished that will make a difference and show your value.  Who can you trust to talk about these issues and get unbiased support and guidance?

In some cases you can confide in your boss, a mentor, or a co-worker, but it's tough to get to the root of an issue if you are worried about the impression you might create. 

Support is especially important during your first year at a company, when you establish your identity within the organization, and during internal transitions, when people are fearful and defensive by nature, making conflicts inevitable.   

Career success coaching is about reaching your true potential at work.

• Develop a career plan and position yourself for growth opportunities
• Create a great impression as you assimilate into a new environment
• Vent about frustrations in a safe place -- away from work
• Build outstanding communication skills and position yourself as a leader
• Identify and master the technical skills most important to your job
• Learn how to deal with difficult people, and get your needs met at work.
• Get focus, strategy, and accountability while you are driving an important project or initiative

How it Works

The coaching process starts with goal-setting, then quickly moves to managing yourself effectively in a corporate environment.  In order to effectively reach your goals at work, you will need buy in from your team, access to resources, the ability to clearly present your intentions, progress, and the value of what you are doing, and the time, project, and people management skills to stay focused and flexible in a dynamic environment.  Once you have established your initial goals, most of your coaching will be around specific situations at work, with re-assessment of your plans whenever needed.
