Job Transitions Coaching in a Changing Workplace
Client Coaching Objectives: Create awareness and explore options to define my own job.
Situation: Our client was transitioning from a role that she had been in for 7 years in a rapidly changing organization to a new (and, at that time, vaguely defined) role in a different department.
She felt disempowered and confused by the lack of direction and framework in the department to which she had been assigned.
Coaching Objective: Support our client in this job transition by helping her assess her strengths relative to the new situation and clarify her own objectives in 2 1-hour in-person coaching sessions.
Our Client's Story
Coaching with Julia has provided me with valuable insights into my feelings and perceptions, particularly as they relate to the workplace. She helped me come up with workable solutions to issues.
The key focus of our coaching sessions revolved around how to negotiate work relationships with both new and old colleagues, and learning how to manage in my evolving job role(s.
Julia asked probing questions which forced me to review my current situation and reflect upon what it could potentially blossom into in the future. We reviewed my strengths and weaknesses, talked about what areas of my work I enjoy and excel at, and how I could use these items to my advantage in developing my new job role description. It's been interesting and empowering to realize that I could take some control over what my new job role could look like.
Julia has a very pleasing manner which made it easy for me to open up and share my thoughts. She also injects humour into these sessions therefore making it feel more like a free-flowing conversation between colleagues. I appreciate this. In addition, as she is aware of my physical working environment, she is always very respectful of my time and the constraints I may be under when I am speaking with her from my office area (where majority of our sessions occur).
I will continue to work with Julia to help me as it's been a very positive experience for me.
