|
Welcome to Surpass Your Dreams. The goal of the newsletter and weekly tips is to help you recognize your potential and surpass your dreams.
Included are tips for either transitioning into a career you love, excelling in the career you have now, or creating simplicity in your life.
I. HOW TO MAKE THE RIGHT CAREER MOVES
Part I
Are you making the right career moves? Or, are you waiting for the right career moves to come to you? Are you listening to your inner voice
allowing it to guide your moves? Or, are you wishing that pesky voice would go away?
One of the biggest career challenges is tapping into your inner voice when direction is needed. For example, how can you listen to what your
heart says is the right career move when you are stressed and busy? How can you uncover what you’re supposed to being doing next when
you have a job to get to
everyday, kids to take care of, and loved ones you want to spend time with?
There is just too much to do.
Unless, you decide to listen to your inner voice. When you don’t spend time
on your goals, your goals get lost. Your career dreams start
to vanish. What you want in your career becomes a blur. You know what you are doing in your career is not the right thing for you anymore,
but you don’t know how to go about finding something different. You blame yourself. If only you were smart enough, creative enough, talented
enough, then a great career would come to you. A great career is possible, but not without your participation.
As a career coach, I work with many individuals who want to know if they are in the right job. I tell them that the answer is inside them and
your answer is inside you too. Your inner voice never lies. What you should do next is there, waiting for you.
See Part II continued below…
WHAT TO SAY WHEN...
Ever wonder what to say in these specific situations?
What do I say on an interview so I get the job? What do I say to my boss so I get the raise I want? What do I say so people will return my
phone calls and e-mail's? What do I say to a difficult co-worker so we get along?
I have created a series of telephone seminars so you can learn something new; specifically what to say at certain important moments in
your career.
All the experts say to ask for what you want in your career, but what's missing most of the time are the actual words to make your career
goals real and your career wishes come true.

II. FIVE STEPS FOR MAKING THE RIGHT MOVES IN YOUR CAREER
Part II
So How Do You Make The Right Moves In Your Career? Follow These 5 Steps Below:
1. Decide To Make The Right Moves
Your career cannot improve on its own. Until you decide to make a better step, the actions necessary to make this happen cannot begin.
There are always reasons to stay where you are. The money is good. The job market is tough. What you know is better than what you don’t
know. Or, is it? It’s actually harder to stay in a bad situation than to work towards happiness. Listen to your inner voice. If it says it’s time to
act, then listen. Decide that today is the day your career begins to change for the better.
2. Make Time For Yourself
Making time for you does not have to be hours at a time. Just enough time to give you clarity about your career. You can spend ten minutes in
the morning before you get out of bed. You can spend five minutes while you are in the shower, or twenty minutes while you are driving to work.
The goal is not how long, but what you do with the time you have. If you clear your mind for a few minutes each day, over time, the answers you
are seeking will come to you.
3. Listen To What You Hear
How many times has your answer come and you talked yourself out of what you heard? (Many times, I’m sure.) Ever notice that your answer is
always the same. Your answer will not change and will become louder over time. It’s just how your inner mechanism works. You don’t have to
ead another book, attend another seminar, or have another conversation with a friend about what to do next. Listen to what your inner voice is
telling you and then start moving in that direction.
4. Tell Yourself That You Can
It takes courage to move forward in your career. What happens if you are wrong? What about the people in your life who will tell you, “I told you so!”
But, what happens if you are right? Maybe the answer you have been hearing is there for a reason. Maybe you are meant to do something different.
Maybe you have done all you can where you are, and you are supposed to go somewhere else so you can make the difference you are always
talking about. How will you know if you do not try? Tell yourself again and again that you can until you believe it.
5. Take Action Today
Do you know if your next career move is going to work out or not? No one knows in the beginning. All you have is what feels right to you inside.
If you keep moving towards what feels right and move away from what feels wrong, you will be happier. You will have more optimism and energy.
The light at the end of the tunnel will start to appear. Taking the first step is always the hardest, but know that the steps get easier over time.
Action brings action. One action today, leads to many actions completed tomorrow. The right career moves are in you. They will work out if you
take the path you know you are supposed to take.
So, what do you say? You only have one life to live, so it might as well be a life you love!
Since many of my subscribers are coaches, this section is for you. It contains tips and techniques to take your coaching practice to the next level.
THIS MONTH: TOP FATAL FLAWS THAT LIMIT A COACH'S SUCCESS
1. Hearing Only Part Of What The Client Is Saying.
There are dozens of things that a client is saying at any given time. If you don't know what these are, you're missing essential information.
2. Channeling What The Client Says Into Your Own Vocabulary Or Listening "Filters."
If you've been trained in other disciplines (spirituality, religion, therapy, consulting), it's likely that you'll put your words or labels on what
the client is saying. If they're waffling, you'll assume they aren't committed. If they are in pain, you'll say they aren't being responsible. If
they have made a mistake, you'll try to make them feel better. If they can't see what to work on first, you'll think they need prioritization,
etc. Better to know how you filter/hear what the client is saying than give the client stock answers or advice.
3. Thinking That The Client Probably Thinks, Learns And Acts Like You Do.
Some clients respond and learn by listening, others by talking, others by taking actions, others intuitively, others by visualizing. If you use
the same approach with all of your clients, you'll lose most of them. Better to learn how they listen and learn and adapt your style for them.
4. Getting Your Personal Needs Met By Coaching Clients.
We all get some of our needs met via clients, but use your Mentor Coach to discover which needs and how much they are being met by clients.
5. Being More Interested In Presenting Concepts And Information Than In Actually Hearing The Client.
Clients want to be listened to and advised, in that order. And, when advising, customize the info/advice to fit the client's situation perfectly.
6. Using Jargon And Specialized Phrasing Without First Explaining It.
If you're using jargon, you're not respecting your clients. And, if you're using jargon, you probably don't know that you're talking about, really.
7. Putting The Client's Results Ahead Of The Client.
As much as you want the client to succeed, always put the client ahead of their results. Push and encourage, but stick with the client.
8. Imposing Your Values And Standards On The Client.
Just because the coach recently increased their standards and boundaries doesn't mean that the client should have to immediately.
9. Not Responding Quickly Enough To A Change In The Client's Mood, Needs, Goals, Shift Or Growth.
Clients change and grow, often without notice. Always listen and feel to where the client is right now instead of where he/she was yesterday.
10. Not Learning A Huge Amount From Each Client And Integrating It Into Your Life Immediately.
Every client and every coaching relationship you have should be a rich learning experience for the coach. If not, you're not coaching well.
