The Backstory
Most of us try to go through our careers like we try to go through most things… alone. We play the “I have to do it by myself” game, forgetting that to win the game actually requires getting others in the game with us. And though we instinctually know this, we continue to waste time, money and opportunities because we keep believing that asking for help is a sign of weakness. I was once just like you. Kept making excuses why I didn’t need help. Why I “could” do it all alone. And in doing so, wasted precious opportunities to create twice the success with half the effort . . .
Career Development Approach
When we have pain or numbness in our back, most of us know to head to the chiropractor to get an adjustment. But when we experience pain or numbness in our career, we often get stuck with not knowing what to do. However, the solution is the same adjustment process — ALIGNMENT.
Career Alignment is the proper positioning of our individual career aspects in relation to each other. We spend most of our careers over-complicating this alignment process; taking the scenic route to our next empowered step (if we ever find it).
My “IPA” (Individual Professional Alignment) Approach is designed to get your career back in alignment by redefining (and re-creating) the empowered professional you were born to be. Through this approach we identify those aspects of our career that have been herniated, pushed, squeeze-out or otherwise not effectively positioned to work with the rest of our career aspects.
