The situation:
Neil had been making steady progress towards the legal career that
he thought he had always wanted. But something wasn't right and he
didn't feel like it was really 'him' anymore. He became frustrated
and whilst he knew the Law was no longer right for him, he wasn't
sure exactly what he wanted to do instead.
What happened:
We worked with Neil over the course of 6 coaching sessions, spaced
a week apart. During those 6 weeks we talked about what he really
enjoyed and what made him feel alive. We talked frankly about his
skills, experiences and also the areas where he knew he needed to
up his game. In a complete change of direction, Neil discovered that
he had a passion for Marketing - and he was good at it! Together we
re-worked his CV and Neil came up with some innovative ways of getting
the attention of potential employers. Through some challenging role
playing exercises, he became better and better at explaining concisely
what he was good at and why an employer should choose him. His confidence
grew and he began to see interviews as fun!
What Neil said:
"I have a whole new outlook on life. One in which I can achieve anything
I wish to if I apply the skills and attitudes that Hannah has passed
on to me. Do not believe that Hannah will just make you feel good
about yourself. That is just the beginning of what she can do. I am
well on my way to a career and life of my dreams."
