Autum is here, my favourite time of the year. The leaves transform into stunning array of yellows, reds and oranges, the air gets chilly, the days get shorter. The school and college terms start back. Memories of summer are still strong, and the end of year festivities are still in the distance. It is a beautiful time and a time of change.
Change can bring so many great things, new opportunities and ideas, revived energy and enthusiasm, an expansion of your environment and social circle. Change lets us reinvent ourselves so we can follow a new path. Change can be fun, exhilarating and really scary.
In my working life I have faced change many times. Sometimes by choice, choosing a new career path or choosing to branch out with my own business. Sometimes the change was due to circumstances out of my control, redundancy, health issues. Each one of these changes came with a range of questions, emotions and feeling that I had to navigate.
When you are facing changes in your career, navigating all the aspects of the change is hard. You need to weigh up all the pros and cons to ensure you’re making the right decision, sometimes in situations you are unfamiliar with. You need to validate that the change you are making will have a positive impact on you and those depending on you. Everything from the financial implications to the potential new wardrobe needed (you have to look the part!) need to be thought about and acted on. It’s a lot!
Coaching helped me to navigate some of the changes and reinventions I have made in my life. It helped me to get clarity on what I really wanted so I could plan the path I needed to take to reach my target. It gave me the tools I needed to achieve my goals.
