Ron Gilliland, CPCC - Career Transition Coach

If you are a mid-to-late-career professional, can you imagine doing your job until retirement? If that brings up feelings of dread, it doesn’t have to be that way. With your education and years of experience, you have skills that could be transferred to new opportunities, even new industries. With more than 22 years of experience as a Certified Professional Career Coach, I have helped scores of clients find new opportunities and greater satisfaction in their work. When I first met Dana, she was in her mid 50s, managing 16 employees. She hadn’t taken vacation in 3 years or received a raise during that time. “I don’t want to manage people anymore. I need to make more money for my future.” We compiled an inventory of her achievements, revealing the skills she could leverage for new opportunities. With her inventory in hand, she realized she most valued opportunities for servant leadership. The dread she felt toward her current job was that it was no longer about serving others. She developed a career vision, informed by her values. Her inventory of achievements provided the content to update her resume and LinkedIn profile. To bolster her confidence for interviews, I enrolled Dana in the POSITIVE INTELLIGENCE® Training. The 6-week program enabled her to recognize and slay fears and doubts as they arose. She compiled a list of Champions and Connectors, those who naturally celebrate her strengths and achievements and connect her to opportunities. She met with them at cafes and over Zoom. Rekindling those relationships led to being hired for a job making twice as much money, without managing people. She was thrilled! She and her husband moved out of their apartment and purchased their first home. “Life continues to be sweet since changing careers and my life trajectory. With the income from my new job, we were able to buy a home. Cheers to our work together. It keeps giving.” Ready for a change? For a FREE Info Session, go to this link: shorturl.at/egsvS
