Full Career Accelerator Program.
Want to accelerate your career, take advantage of the power of compounding, and make the most of your situation to set yourself up for your future?
The goal of this program, in short, is to set you up. To help you see the potential in your career in a new light, position you for opportunities, and provide you an edge that you can leverage to compound the result in your career over the years to come.
In this program we map out an individualised detailed plan for your career by understanding your position, clarifying your direction and goals, understanding the landscape you are working in, breaking down the personalities around you, understanding the potential opportunities, beginning to reposition you, building your momentum, gaining confidence in yourself, and subtly beginning to create opportunities for you to seize. We complete this program together over five, two hour strategy sessions via video call.
Step 1. Understand your position & Clarify your position & goals
How to understand what you really want (and ensure you will actually enjoy the direction you choose, and earn more).
How to understand your current role and identify potential opportunities (even those that may not yet exist).
How to understand your strengths and weaknesses (to ‘flank’ the competition - I coach you through this in detail in the next step).
Step 2. Understand the landscape & Breakdown the personalities
How to step back and really understand your company.
How to understand what management want (and how you can stand out - even if you are not technically strong at anything in particular).
How to read individuals - their strengths, weaknesses, risks and opportunities.
How to identify potential allies and potential threats (and how to deal with each).
Step 3. Understand the opportunity & Begin to reposition
How to see and understand ‘the game’ as a whole.
How to understand whether you are in the right company.
How and when to change companies (the answer can sometimes be counter-intuitive).
How to reposition your strengths and weaknesses to flank the competition.
How to prepare yourself to gain an advantage.
How to influence others (indirectly) to gain recognition for yourself with management.
How to direct yourself into a position of leverage.
Step 4. Build momentum & Gain confidence
How to increase your skills, knowledge and understanding quickly, without an MBA or multi-year degree (doesn’t mean you can’t also do these if they align with your goals).
How to find the most effective reference sources and books to speed up and compound your journey (including a personalised reading list to suit your unique situation).
How to build trust and relationships with decision makers (without having to schmooze).
How to present without being a presenter (and stand-out beyond extroverts).
How to prepare yourself to take on extra responsibilities (if this is what want). For example, how to stay calm under pressure, how to make complex decisions, problem solving methods, and how to build and structure a team. We will coach you through preparing for this together, so when opportunity arrives you are ready.
Step 5. Subtly make opportunities
How to identify an opportunity vs a dead-end (this can be quite counter-intuitive).
How to build allies to be your echo chamber (without being a networker).
How to identify paths of least resistance.
How to be promoted without asking for a promotion (Yes, this is possible, I will coach you through the process).
How to increase your salary without asking for a pay rise (Yes, this is also possible).
