Sometimes I get embarrassed about suggesting this simple tool, but I still find myself coming back to it again and again… Not that long ago I worked with someone who was very well regarded by her organisation. She was the “go-to” person, someone who would manage the latest project, take on a new product development plan, sort out a problem. Let’s call her Linda. Trouble was, Linda was bored. She loved the culture at her organisation and wanted to stay but it wasn’t going to happen unless some significant changes happened. Because Linda was valued by her employer, she was given the opportunity to complete our five-hour Career Compass program.  This is my absolute favourite work. During our sessions, we went back to the basics: we assessed Linda’s skills/interests, career values and personality profile. We looked at current work trends. And, because this program is personalised, we explored little career offshoots according to Linda’s personal circumstances. It turned out that Linda wanted to move up to the next level of seniority in her company but had never been successful in winning an internal role.  To continue reading this blog post link is in our bio or can be found here: https://careerconsult.com.au/using-gap-analysis-to-set-your-career-compass/ #whynotbehappyatwork .

Most of us need a sounding board at work, someone we can trust, someone we can offload on. Apart from this one person, however, I recommend that to everybody else, you have the reputation as a Problem Solver not a Problem Finder.  Problem Finders suck the emotional energy out of those around them. Their favourite phrase is “Yes, but…” generally followed by a reason they CANNOT do something. And, after a while, people avoid them. They lose respect, with the accompanying damage that causes to their career.

In my early years, I had a very low opinion of my ability to actually be a successful consultant, which took me many years to get over. I would set up lots of coffee meetings with fellow consultants, to pick their brains, hoping some of their supposed magic would rub off on me.  I can still remember my shock, back then, when I read a BRW article stating that the average consultant earned about $30,000 a year i.e. they had a very high hourly charge out rate but not much paid work. That galvanised me into much more vigorous sales activity, I can tell you! I was determined not to be one of THOSE types of consultants. Since I started as a Career Transition specialist, I have met many people who have decided, after losing their job, to take their package and start life as a consultant. I jokingly say that my role is to take them out for a coffee and try to scare the living daylights out of them and then, if that doesn’t work, switch to providing them with support to maximise the likelihood of it all working. More seriously, over that time, there are two key lessons that I have learned: To continue reading this blog article, link is in our bio or you can find it here: https://careerconsult.com.au/so-youre-considering-becoming-a-consultant/ #whynotbehappyatwork . . . . . . . . #tipstobecomeaconsultant #careerblog #blogs #careersupport #careerconsultadelaide #consultingtips #followyourdream #isconsultingforme #consultantadvice #careermanagement
