My family is away on retreat in Toronto. My son returns tonight on the first flight he has ever taken by himself; I pick him up at 7:30 pm. My wife is not a high school student and will return Friday after it ends. Their absence has given me some time to think and I have been using the time well.
First, I want to announce that I am looking for 6 people to add to my coaching practice for "all in coaching." This is not "pay by the hour." Instead, the person will be interviewed because there will only be 6 people I will work with in this way so I am looking for people who want to take bold steps in the next three months.
I want to be clear that I am not simply a "career coach" or "job search coach."
I do leadership coaching with professionals trying to get better in their work so they are worthy of advancement. I do executive coaching with business leaders who have blocks with their success. I am doing work with the chief of staff to the President of a US entertainment firm. It can be with a small business owner who wants to get better.
I want to help 6 people accomplish something meaningful to them over the next 3 months.
We will text one another, email, follow up, call/Skype one another very regularly while you make the effort to make this "big step."
Yes, I will be working with you/them for three months and then you will decide whether you want to do something else. The goal is for you to take a big bold step in that time.
I am not setting a price for this. It will be one of the things we discuss when we speak. Price will be one of my variables when deciding whether to coach someone. What the challenge is, whether it interests me or not, but not solely money.
The second thing
I want announce is that beginning in January of next year, this weekly ezine will stop being about job search and hiring and more about coaching. It will reflect my interests and new direction professionally.
I hope you stay on, take advantage of and enjoy the change in 2017.
