Career Change Coaching and coaching for work-related issues
Did you know that to change careers 7 times or more during your lifetime is typical for people living today?
Career change work can be divided into two categories: short-range and long-range.
Short-range career planning is for people who need to find a new job, form of self-employment or career direction in the near future due to redundancy, relocation of spouse, insufficient retirement income, and other circumstances. Coaching on matters such as vocation, underlying values, interests and life purpose may be done to steer the job search or choice of retraining in the direction of one's ultimate career goal. However the priority right now is to examine realistic choices, improve confidence and motivation, encourage taking advantage of every possible means of job search, self-employment publicity and/or retraining, work on skills of interview performance and writing a perfect CV and covering letter, and handle the feelings and stresses arising as well as the demands and bureaucracy of your particular situation.
For people facing redundancy, outplacement counselling programmes might be in place to deal with the above issues. However, small firms might not have outplacement arrangements, you might have run out of the help they can offer, you might hate the thought of working with anyone connected with your old firm, or you might find the service perfunctory and not generating enough ideas. If it is your own business that has ceased trading, you won't have any outplacement counselling.
Long-range career planning is for people whose jobs are secure for at least the immediate future, but who are dissatisfied or want a change and are looking for a form of work more in line with their true interests and purpose. Here, vocation, underlying values, interests and life purpose become much more important. Also, you might want to work on increasing career satisfaction in your present line of work. Some people are happy in their jobs yet are prompted to explore a change of direction.
I combine general coaching with NLP, EFT and Clean Language work as necessary for helping people find what they want to do in life and discover their purpose and values.
Topics that may be included in coaching include: work-life balance, work satisfaction, timekeeping issues, workplace bullying, "not fitting in", work-related stress, time management, lack of motivation, dealing with office politics, anxiety about making presentations/ attending interviews, presentation skills, etc. You might also wish to work on your underlying attitudes towards success. Some people feel that they do not deserve to succeed, and at the other extreme some people fee that they deserve everything without having to work. Either attitude is unhelpful and points to unresolved issues. I can offer mock interviews over the telephone and coaching to improve your responses and confidence. This can be especially useful for people who have not faced an interview for a considerable time.
I prefer not to use the term "weight loss coaching" as the term "loss" brings up negative feelings for some people. Weight reduction is not about losing anything - it is about gaining health, fitness, confidence and a better figure!
I do not believe in strict diets of any kind or any of the popular weight loss plans - most people just put the weight on afterwards or yo-yo which can be bad for health. Through sensible eating and working on cravings, I have reduced my own weight by 25 pounds and still eat whatever I like.
I offer an integrative approach to weight reduction based upon my knowledge and experience as a practitioner of NLP, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, energy therapies and coaching. Different people may need more emphasis on specific issues or more use of specific techniques. The programme is offered over the telephone and/or Skype, supported by emails, handouts and homework which is absolutely essential for the client to do! At the end of the programme you will have learned a variety of self-help resources. The programme is nominally divided into 5 phases, though in practice more or less work might need to be done on specific areas and other techniques may be added:
Phase 1: Assessment by questionnaire and/or telephone. Working with habits, behaviour, confidence, willpower, motivation and self-control. Introducing positive affirmations.
Phase 2: Working with underlying emotions, negative thoughts, self-sabotage, and blocks. Examining personal beliefs regarding food, weight, appearance and so on. Further affirmation work.
Phase 3: NLP work to boost your future self-image. Working on deeper (core) beliefs. Control of cravings.
Phase 4: Deeper work that can include Clean Language and Metaphor to work with the Inner Child; spiritual aspects if the client is interested; Emotional Freedom Reiki release work or Cord Cutting technique; emotional healing techniques and NLP time line work. (One or two selected techniques may be used or extra sessions arranged to use most or all of these approaches).
Phase 5: Review of any remaining issues and planning further action and/or sessions; consolidating self-help skills; further energy therapy, affirmation and/or metaphor work; final set of handouts or self-help materials.
There is a saying in NLP, "The map is not the territory", and the actual progress of coaching might not follow the exact path as shown above, since every individual is different!
Acknowledgement: This plan is inspired by the Weight Loss programme devised by Deborah Bromley - see www.db-hypnosis.co.uk - and published as a series of articles in The Hypnotherapy Journal, the professional magazine of the National Council for Hypnotherapy. Morris Berg has adapted the programme to suit his own skill set and for working at a distance by phone or Skype. Although the standard Weight Reduction Coaching plan does not include hypnosis, self-hypnosis training and hypnotic coaching can be included for those who wish to have it. For people already experienced in using hypnosis, telephone hypnosis sessions may be held without client training (a headset or hands-free phone is necessary).
