Top 3 Reasons to Partner with a Transition Coach
Sometimes you know something has to change in your life or career, but don't know what exactly. You are lost in identifying your goals. Or perhaps, you know your goals, but struggle with strategizing benchmarks to meet those goals. Perhaps a life decision is being forced upon you such as a job loss. Working with a coach helps guide you towards a set of new, strategic goals. Below are the top 3 reasons to partner with a transition coach.
Gain Clarity
A coach may help you gain clarity and separate your decisions from difficult emotions surrounding transitions. A strong transition coach will guide conversations by listening and asking open-ended questions to help you gain a clearer understanding of what is or isn’t working in your current situation.
Establish Direction
A transition coach will help you find direction. By offering practical tools and suggestions, as well as personal support to encourage and motivate you to stay on track. Upon the start of each session, a transition coach will check in to assess which strategies are and are not working well for you. At the conclusion of each session, you will also have a clear purpose for moving forward with new and relevant tools so you can focus and remain on track.
Set SMART Goals and Definitive Timelines for Benchmarks
A coach will work with you to create SMART goals which are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely. Once your goals are established, a coach will help alleviate the overwhelm that often comes with understanding how to meet those goals. Your coach will help you identify each individual step for meeting your goals. By writing out the steps, and then crossing each one off as you complete it, you will likely feel motivated over the progress you are making towards your ultimate goal. This process is particularly important for demanding or long-term goals.
A transition coach is your guide; supporting you each step of the way and partnering with you to build a reality from your ideal vision.
