An interesting read in which the authors list 5 key elements for each individual in progressing their careers. It is framed in the context of careers which are not necessarily linear, or follow a set path, however these feel like great areas to consider for any of us, and all subjects for great coaching conversations:

1. Values: Understanding our values and how they fit with those of our employer/organisation

2. Strengths: Be clear on where we excel and utilise those positive attributes to contribute

3. Confidence: Developing confidence in our abilities so that we might be brave in our decisions

4. Network: Gathering a community to which we can equally contribute and draw upon to support both our own career and those of our connections

5. Possibilities: Looking to the future and being aware of potential opportunities

In an excerpt from Squiggly Careers, authors Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis share insights on how to leverage the changing shape of work.

At a time when many are unsure of the financial implications of the current uncertainties for their businesses, jobs and domestic responsibilities, it is sometimes hard to focus on the positives but even small 'wins' can make a difference. Our previous post of Dr Michael Mosely speaking about the importance of 3 x 10 min breaks a day is something over which we have control, and as the research shows, can make a big physical and mental difference. The attached is another small way in which we can take control and introduce a little positivity if needed.

At Mansfield & Messer, not only do we provide online learning, leadership, management and soft skills training, but we are also accredited and experienced executive coaches, so if you are struggling to see a way forward, contact us at https://bit.ly/3whA6LF and arrange an obligation-free conversation about how we may be able to help.
