Making a success of it

In a career there are many different aspects that you need pay attention to in order to keep it fresh, challenging and interesting. The range of issues under this heading are extensive but I have found that recurring themes tend to be around progression and working relationships.

“I like to share ideas and work collaboratively but I am working with someone who always makes out that they are her ideas alone.”
“I have been overlooked for promotion again!”
“I love my job but feel undermined continually by my boss.”
“I find conflict difficult and I am working for someone who appears to thrive on it.”
“I work really hard but feel undervalued by my colleagues and my boss.”

Actively managing yourself at work is important for your self esteem, growth and wellbeing. Many of my clients return to see me over the years to discuss different aspects of their work. Below are some of the areas that I help people plan and also take appropriate action.

Setting objectives and goals for your career path
Transitioning into a new role (in a new or existing company)
Managing team responsibilities
Adding value to your role
Promotion plans
Understanding your own development needs
Building productive relationships and networks in and outside of the organisation
Managing difficult relationships and conflict situations
Effective influencing and understanding how different personality styles like to behave and work
Delivering impactful presentations
Building self confidence and assertiveness
Managing self-doubts and stress levels

“We have used Nicol’s services on numerous occasions. She has been crucial in unlocking our potential on a deeper level. She has helped us reflect on a personal and group level about patterns of work and behaviours and helped us find innovative ways to relate as a team.”

“Nicol helped me during a particularly difficult time in my career. I had been promoted into a senior management role and was struggling to manage the many leadership and people challenges that came with the territory. She helped me to understand and navigate many high conflict work scenarios and in particular the excessive demands and style of my manager.”
