A client came to coaching worried about being fired because of restructuring and felt stuck around what to do next in their career.
They feared the unknown. Their professional experience ranges from sales and marketing to customer service.
However, they didn’t have certifications that matched their practical experience and felt that is an issue, that they were lacking something. They focused on what was missing rather than what they had already achieved.
They thought:
“What do I do next if I get laid off?”
“I don’t have the right certifications, I’m not qualified enough.”
The client doubted themselves and their ability to interact with clients and feared the clients’ potential reaction to their mistakes. They felt stuck and avoided making career decisions, hesitated to take initiative or put themselves forward.
Throughout the coaching process, I helped the client explore several career options and found the direction for the next phase of their career. They discovered that they enjoy helping people, mentoring them and serving them.
They decided to talk to their manager and other managers from other departments about the necessary skills for the new role they want to pursue. They remind themselves of their previous success whenever doubts come up and say to themselves: ”I can do this, I am confident in my abilities”.
As a result, they moved from fear and feeling stuck to clarity and self-trust.
