Coaching Case Studies – Career Transition
(Note: Although based on a real case, the details of the situation have been changed to preserve confidentiality.)
Client: Margaret is a senior vice-president for a media company.
Issue: Terminated after ten years at her company.
Margaret was a successful professional who was laid off from her company largely due to a management reshuffle. The focus of the coaching was to help Margaret find her dream job. Over a period of three months, we worked on the following:
-
Restoring her battered self-esteem.
-
Working out what she liked about her career and what she did not like.
-
Creating a “winning” strategy.
-
Partnering on a networking plan.
-
Developing a new resume that reflected her new confidence.
-
Supporting a positive and appealing interview style.
-
Analyzing job offers.
-
Advising about how to impress her new company.
Margaret ended up with a job she loves. It is much more suited to her skills and needs than her previous job and she is paid more money!
