Project
You
A 1-1 Career Change Coaching Programme
- Are you at a point where you are feeling unfulfilled and unsure which direction to go next?
- Did you fall into your career or current role, and it’s just not what you want to do into the future?
- Are you unhappy in your current career or role, is the time right to move?
- Are you ready for more accountability but don’t know how or when to move forward or upwards?
- Have you had a career break and now want to return to work or do something completely new?
- Changing careers from an area such as the Armed Forces and moving to civil life and seeking a new direction
If any of the above resonate with how you are feeling, completing the Elevate
‘Project You’ programme with Denise, who has a wealth of experience in supporting career change and job search for more than 20 years, will support you to not only identify the career change that is right for you; but also, a strategy plan to achieve it.
Why is it called Project You?
#1
The programme name is pivotal in that so often people have a knee jerk reaction to starting a job search, which usually involves feeling out of sorts at work and hitting the job boards for roles which look interesting or just to see what happens and then rejections and disappointments occur because the foundations of your application are not well planned.
When given an assignment at work we always pull together a project plan towards the destination, crafting the steps we need to take and who we need to involve reaching the project goal. It’s mindful, well planned and has clear markers of success along the way and above all the end goal is very clear.
Yet most people never apply this to a new role search and give themselves the personal investment to make such an important choice – Project you helps you to plan the steps and have a grasp of where you are and what you can do for a successful outcome.
#2
The ‘Project You’ programme is designed to establish your ‘why’ , stimulate ideas and support your journey, drawing on your innate resourcefulness to help identify an exciting and viable new career direction or move which is in tune
with your life goals as well as your career plan.
#3
Through following the programme steps, you will find clarity by exploring your self-knowledge and laying foundations of what role, level or kind of work will be inspiring for you. We look at multiple possibilities and develop a range of ideas before starting work on making your plan a reality, we’ll discover your direction and start working on your action plan with clear goals.
About Denise
