Creating a career strategy Carol Rosati OBE
Who am I? Founder of Inspire Coach Diversity Campaigner NED
Goal Planning What do I want to stop doing? In the next six months I want to….. Am I happy in my role what would make it even better and if not, what would make me happy? Where do I want to be in five years?
Current Reality/State of play • Are you happy with your current situation? • Do you want to be in the same position in six months time? • What are the challenges in your life?
Options & Opportunities Who can help you? Do you have a sponsor? How can you be more visible? How strong is your network?
Comparing yourself to others • Comparisons are always unbalanced - we typically compare the worst bits of ourselves to the perceived best bits of others • Your blend of skills, successes, experience and knowledge is unique to you and cannot be compared • Comparison puts the focus on the wrong person – live your own life – it’s the only one you can control!
Communication & Impact • Non Verbal Impact • The Sales Pitch • Making yourself heard
Non VerbalCommunication 7% 55% 38%
The Sales Pitch “Create a sales pitch which includes all of the things you have achieved so far, write it, learn it then put it away.” Three things you have achieved in your recent role you are most proud of Four key skills you can bring to the table What are you key people skills Three key achievements in your career Overcoming adversity
And furthermore… • What do you want to be known for? • What makes you different? • Why would people/clients/employers want to engage with you?
Effective Communication • Learn how to tell others just how good you are • Celebrate your successes with others • Don’t wait for recognition • Tell people what you need and how they can help
Making yourself heard • Being interrupted or spoken over • Ideas being stolen • Becoming more visible • Tone and pitch of voice
Checklist • Give yourself time to think about your goals and your journey • Communicate – tell not ask – apart from help! • Stop comparing yourself to others – you are your own unique blend • Fine tune your sales pitch • Get into the habit of sharing one thing you have achieved with others on a regular basis I can
