Clarity

Stop Christmas. Start career clarity!

December 17, 2020 By //  by Rachel Brushfield

It is hard to ‘wrap’ our Energise career e course’ so it looks Christmasy!

Many people cannot have the Christmas they want due to Covid-19.

Rather than feeling annoyed about something that you cannot influence, because of government rules about Covid-19 and the tier system – an easy way to create frustration, reframe the situation. Take control and turn it into a gift of unexpected time to think and focus and get clear about your career and what next.

I created the Energise career e course on some of our career retreats, slaving over a hot laptop! It contains all the exercises used in career coaching.

It is structured into carefully planned modules with practical exercises, it helps you to get clear about who you are, what you want and how make to happen.

The e-course is ideal if you are working full time, making time for coaching difficult, or you want to plan a future career change, e.g. you are a working parent wanting more flexibility.

If you are thinking of creating a ‘side-hustle’, a common beginning of a portfolio career, it is a great way to get clarity, and more cost effective than individual career coaching.

Section 1: Introduction

Overview of the e-course and insights into the changing world of work.

Section 2: Where am I and why am I there?

Insights from reviewing your career to date to inform your future career.

Section 3: Am I ready for a change?

Understanding your motivation, values and job likes and dislikes: the crucial components of making good career decision and choices

Section 4: What is stopping me making a change?

Fears and blocks about career change that can inhibit success and how to overcome them.

Section 5: What resources do I have?

Insights about your skills and career achievements to help you market yourself confidently and successfully.

Section 6: Where could I be?

Ideas and inspiration to help you identify career options matching your skills and experience. It will help you weigh up all the options open to you, including those you have not previously considered.

Section 7: How could I get there?

Defining your personal brand to appeal to employers and how to leverage your network to create new job and career opportunities.

Section 8: How will I know that I have been successful?

Defining your new career goals, vision and plan, giving you a clear sense of purpose and focus.

Section 9: How do I keep on track?

A recap and summary of all your insights and goals from sections 1-8.

Section 10: Further resources & inspiration

Examples of clients who have changed their career, our own career journey and useful resources.

Our e-course is available to buy in individual modules or as one course – all 10 modules.

It includes:

  • 1 hour of coaching with Rachel Brushfield (worth £160+VAT)
  • Over 250 pages
  • 20+ practical exercises
  • Tools and tips you can use again and again
  • Clarity and insight guaranteed

It is set up on PayPal, so you can pay using a credit card, smoothing your cashflow, with Christmas expenditure.

How to create clarity in your career

November 28, 2020 By //  by Rachel Brushfield

“How do I decide what career I want?”

A big and important question, is it not?

Clarity is one of the 6 C’s you need when deciding what career you want.

It is especially important to successfully create, market, manage and evolve a portfolio career, because a portfolio career has multiple components, and therefore more options and decisions to make.

  • Confidence
  • Clarity
  • Community
  • Conviction
  • Competence
  • Courage

This blog post shares some useful resources – articles and podcasts, about how to create career clarity.

Why is career clarity so important?

As career coaches, helping our clients to get really clear about who they are, what they want and how to get it, is an important part of our job.

Investing time in creating clarity saves you a lot of wasted time, money and stress going down the wrong road.

In the digital age, there are millions of career options, resources to read, people to talk with.

A big decision like what career option to choose is a massive decision to make.

Especially in the uncertain times in which we live, with Covid-19 and Brexit.

How do we help our clients gain career clarity?

  • Self-completion questionnaires
  • Self-reflective questions
  • Personality and psychometric tests
  • Exercises – values, motivations, career drivers and many more
  • Creating unique exercises for them

Every client is different and so we tailor our approach to each client.

Career clarity is especially important when creating a portfolio career.

It is also important to review your career strategy regularly, as you change e.g. at different life stages, and as markets change.

Rachel, Energise founder, takes regular away days and career retreats to think, reflect, plan and create. House sits provide a brilliant way to do this, explore new places, meet new people, and some gorgeous pets! Newness is one of Rachel’s values.

How clear are you on what you want from your career next?

What’s your career goal, strategy and plan?
