Our clients often come to us using words like ‘stuck’ or ‘confused.’ Many explain that after college, they went through one of the first occupational doors opened to them and just kept walking. Until they found themselves 5, 10, even 30 years later, down a road that they never intended to be on for that long. Which is why they start asking, “is it too late to pursue something that I actually love without completely starting over?”
Whether you find likeness in this example or you are simply wanting to be more proactive with your career goals, having someone intentionally walk you through the process might be right for you.
So is it even possible to make a career change after decades in a certain field or role?
The short answer: Yes, it’s never too late!
The long(er) answer is it is absolutely possible to make a successful career transition when a thoughtful approach is taken using research, intentionality and strategic action steps.
Enter the Career Transition Coach!
What is Career Transition Coaching? At the Know You Project, this type of coaching strategy takes the time to understand your past experience, your current value, and future goals. We specifically focus on what makes you unique: personality, strengths, skills, experience, education, and values. From there, we pair your personal data and our expertise to identify what career options would best fit YOU.
Here are 5 simple reasons to consider hiring a Career Transition Coach:
You are uniquely gifted. Know your options. Partnering with a career transition coach allows a new perspective on how you can best use your talents, as well as actual roles that your experience could translate.
Partnership and accountability within intentional change. Navigating a job hunt alone can be daunting. A career coach brings relational partnership and clear action items that produce results.
Create your own brand and live it out. Using career assessments provides actual data and language to help guide your career. These assessments help us understand what makes you You, therefore allowing your brand to be shaped from authentic truths.
Make decisions with confidence. Working with a career coach mitigates a reaction-based job hunt and cultivates a proactive approach that is based on credible data and personalized understanding.
Life is short. Make the most of it. Career transition coaching helps you find ways to work out of your ‘sweet spot’. A.k.a. Do what you love!
