O que você faz se seus clientes precisarem de ajuda para criar um cronograma realista para seus objetivos de carreira?

In the beginning, it's crucial to analyze and categorize the goals into short-term, long-term, and potentially overestimated ones. Using a graphical scaled coaching model can help visually identify barriers or challenges associated with these goals. This step is essential in guiding the client towards formulating a realistic and actionable plan. Regular progress assessments are necessary to ensure the client remains on track, providing timely adjustments and support to steer towards successful goal attainment. This structured approach encourages continuous engagement and helps the client maintain focus on achievable outcomes.

Meet with them and discuss goals and ways in which to accomplish them. This should be done on a one one discussion. Since everyone has different goals individual discussions work best.

If your clients need help creating a realistic timeline for their career goals, first work with them to clearly define their goals and the steps required to achieve them. Break down these steps into smaller, manageable tasks. Assess their current skills, resources, and constraints to establish a practical timeframe for each task. Incorporate buffer periods for unexpected challenges. Encourage regular reviews of their progress and adjust the timeline as necessary to keep goals achievable and maintain motivation.

My first step would be to initiate an honest and open conversation about their current situation, aspirations, and the practicalities involved in achieving their objectives. This process requires a delicate balance between encouraging ambitious goals and tempering expectations with realistic benchmarks. Throughout this process, be honest but compassionate. This means being realistic about the time and effort required to achieve certain milestones and acknowledging the potential for setbacks. This builds flexibility into their plans and can help them stay resilient in the face of challenges. The goal here is to support clients with a structured yet adaptable roadmap while managing expectations and fostering a positive, proactive approach.

I advise clients that timelines for career transition will depend on many factors. Some are within their control like their dedication to the process in terms of time and effort, and closing skills or experience gaps. However, some are outside of their control like market conditions, and life happening. You can't predict the future but you can focus on the factors within your control as you progress towards your goal.

Nous sommes en Avril, un mois idéal pour évaluer ce qui a été fait durant le premier trimestre de l'année. Pousser le client à passer à l'action? C'est très bien. L'amener à évaluer périodiquement ses réalisations? C'est mieux. À l'issue d'une bonne évaluation, se trouve de magnifiques recommandations dont le suivi peut avoir un effet multiplicateur (quantitativement et qualitativement) sur les les actions du prochain trimestre.

Timelines are subject to change. Don’t stress yourself with strict deadlines. You will face obstacles and unexpected events that may require adjusting your timeline. Be flexible in response to these changes to facilitate the process.
