Transitions? Ask Kate,The People-Skills Coach
Posted in Coaching Professional on Feb 13th, 2009
As a coach, I specialize in transitions to help professionals meet some specific goal. The transitions are from one behavior to another to achieve something new, different, or more.
Some recent examples:
- A Help Desk manager who wanted to be more assertive after receiving performance feedback in that light.
- A manager who wanted and needed better presentation skills for many aspects of her job. She found the coaching fun and productive.
- A systems analyst who wanted to relocate from the east coast to New Mexico and live a very different life. She did not know where to begin to have this new life. She is there now!
- A big thinker type – great at generating ideas, brainstorming, and creativity – needed to communicate with more focus. The big thinker now uses an email template we created to communicate for impact.
Why tap a coach? Transitions from one behavior to another require more than just learning a new skill. For most, it means overcoming blocks that stop learning and change. There are many books out there about changing your career, your life, your outlook. Ever read one and still no change? As a coach, I inspire you to action!
ASK Kate! This blog gives you the opportunity to pose your transition questions to me directly and get transition steps at no cost — until the end of March 2009. I have extended this offer through the end of April 2009 to include followups to the International Help Desk Conference. Many don’t want to post their questions here preferring instead to email me. Either way is fine.
Let’s get started … Kate Nasser
