Career Coaching
The job world as we know it is changing. Many of the old tips and tricks that have been engrained in us don’t work anymore. More people than ever are not only looking for new jobs but exploring new career fields. Not only that, but companies are becoming more and more selective. That’s why I developed a targeted approach to job searching, networking, personal branding, and interviewing. I’ll help you not only develop your personal brand, but also teach you how to write your resume/cover letter and helpful ways to utlize social networking sites like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram to create your brand. I’ll also show you how to handle the “years of experience” dilemma by helping you understand how to translate your transferrable skills and identify the experience you didn’t realize you had.
Resume & Cover Letter Development
Your resume is the first thing a company sees. It needs to express who you are and what you know, but most importantly, it needs to show how you can benefit the organization you are applying to. I will show you how to effectively write a resume and cover letter to increase your response rate. I’ll show you all of the proper elements that make a resume truly stand out.
Personal Branding
Your personal identity is how you see yourself. Your personal brand is how others see you. One way or another, your brand will be developed, either you will shape how others see you, or they will do it for yourself. I will teach you how to write the narrative and become the author of your own personal brand.
Interviewing Skills
Job interviews are stressful. There's no denying that. Interviewing for a job puts you on the spot and forces you into a situation where you are dependant on someone else. It can be extremely nerve-racking for job seekers with little to no interviewing experience in interviewing. Even seasoned professionals with years of interview practice can feel anxious or overwhelmed while preparing for or during an interview. Understanding that stress is a normal part of the process is the first step to overcoming it.
Leadership Development
Now more than ever, strong leadership is needed to help guide organizations into the future through these troubling times. Leaders around the world have been forced into the spotlight to guide their teams to success through change. I’m reminded of a common saying during my time in the United States Marine Corps, “Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome”. Companies that fail to learn this saying have and will continue to collapse. Leaders that fail to live by this principle, will ultimately lead their teams straight to the unemployment line. As a leader, it is time to embrace this new reality.
According to a 2016 study, only 7% of organizations feel that they have a “Best in Class” Leadership Development Program. Only 7% of organizations feel that they are truly preparing the best future leaders for their organization! How much potential are you missing? Let’s examine ways together on how we can improve the leadership culture to create new leaders to become the driving force for success in the future.
I will help you develop a truly “Best in Class” Leadership Development program based on a servant leader mindset using sound and simple psychological principles
Sales Training
One of the first things I was taught when I entered the world of sales is "if you can sell, you will never be unemployed." The idea behind this was that there are always companies looking for people skilled in sales. There are car dealerships, real estate companies, insurance agencies, furniture stores, etc. etc. that are always hiring. The one thing they have in common is the need for people that can present their product or service to others as a way to solve a need.
Everything in life is a sale, everything you want is the commission. Once I accepted that reality, I began to absorb everything I could from the sales greats. I became exremely successfull. Not only was I able to close deals at a rate well above the national average, but I built a customer loyalty that led to an above average retention rate as well.
Together I can help you build your sales staff to close more deals, increase customer satisfaction, and improve customer retention.
