Career Transition Counselling with Marcus

Do you feel bored, stuck or frustrated in your career?
Do you feel undervalued, and over-managed, or under-supported?
Are you no longer interested in your work, and feel that you’re making no progress?
Has your role has been reorganised or restructured in a way that you don’t like?
Do you have difficult relationships with your colleagues?
Are you unsure if you really want to change career or just want to make other changes in your work or in your life?
Do you fear one day regretting whatever decision you take now?

Career Transition Counselling helps you explore and understand what is driving your discontent, what is really most important for you, and what steps will help you through the transition to a more satisfying worklife.

How Can Transition Counselling Help?

Marcus is experienced at working with the whole range of life transitions. In Coaching with him you can explore your dilemmas, puzzles, needs, wishes, dreams and hopes in a confidential, non-judgmental environment. He will work with you in a collaborative way, giving honest feedback and challenge that is helpful and supportive.

With the aid of Career Transition Counselling, you might discover that:

you are one of those people who absolutely need the stimulus of change in their lives – or that you prefer caution and prudence.
your sense of self-worth is connected to having work more closely aligned with your values, beliefs and interests e.g. doing good, ‘making a difference’, being free to work without commercial constraints – or you may realise that status and recognition for hard work and enterprise are really important values for you.
you have more transferable skills and capabilities than you realise.
you’re pressuring yourself to make the right, once-for-all decision, as if you won’t have another chance to change career direction at some point.
you don’t want a different career at all, but yearn to bring forward new aspects of yourself, different talents and skills

The important thing is that you become more empowered, and develop greater clarity, self-belief and self-confidence. It is with these goals that career coaching will serve you particularly well. The knock-on effects in improved relationships, building more respect and finding your voice will be rewarding and substantial, whatever you then go on to do.

Some Things You Should Think About When You Are In Transition & Considering Career Change

What kind of skills do you enjoy and are you good at?
What’s important to you in a career?
What sort of working environment and culture do you think you’ll be happy in?
What kind of team of people do you want to work with, or would you prefer to work more on your own?
What energises you most?
What type of challenges do you want to face in your work?
What do you naturally love doing and are good at?

If you’re thinking about a gradual approach to a change of career, consider the following:

making changes in your current job e.g. by negotiating to work flexibly or from home
doing more outdoor work, more travelling or less travelling
getting involved in a new project
looking for another job in the same sector
going part time
moving sideways
finding an opportunity for secondment
studying a course in the evening
shadowing someone in their role
networking with people in your chosen sector
learning new skills to make yourself more attractive to potential employers
moving into your new career via a series of jobs rather than one giant leap
