IN TRANSITIONS, DISCOVER THE ESSENCE OF YOU!

TRANSITIONS AND INDIVIDUALS

TRANSITIONAL PHASES BUILD THE FOUNDATION FOR YOUR FUTURE

How prepared are you for that new role? How well are you able to handle additional responsibilities? What are you doing to be a better manager and leader for your new team? Well, it depends on the groundwork you do to start your new phase! Change has the potential to elevate your life, career and goals to a whole new level. To be able to get there, phases of transitioning are not just mandatory, but also crucial to build the foundations of changes. Transitions often bring out insecurities, pressure, self doubt and anxieties of the future, and understandably so. But it is imperative to deal with them with patience, curiosity, and calmness. Transition coaching helps exactly with this.

TRANSITIONS ARE TIMES TO BUILD SELF AWARENESS AND DO SOME DEEP INTROSPECTION

Making tough choices and decisions to build your future can seem daunting when there is so much at stake. Will a shift into a new industry give you a clearer sense of direction and purpose for where you want to be? How will your work life balance change with a promotion? What is it that you actually want for yourself on a professional level? These are questions which require deep reflection and a lot of thought. Working through such reflections would definitely build a stronger sense of self- what you believe in, what makes you happy, what gives you a sense of satisfaction? Basically transition coaching helps you get in touch with your deepest desires, fears, hopes and work your way through them!

TRANSITIONS REQUIRE A UNIQUE APPROACH FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL

When you’re going through changes in your profession, you need different kinds of support. You do need a rational manner to think through career decisions, map out impacts of those decisions, figure out your needs and wants. At the same time you need support in terms of getting a confidence boost, getting reassurance about the decisions you will be making, having someone who pushes you and believes in you. Basically, there are multiple thoughts and feelings running inside you, and a transition coach would be that someone to help you untangle them, make informed choices and live your best life! A transition coach recognises these needs and knows exactly how to support you to work your way through your unique journey. You want to methodically think through cause and effects? Rant about your dissatisfactions? Mumble away your ideas and hopes? We’re here!

TRANSITIONS AND ORGANISATIONS

ORGANISATIONS PAY A HIGH PRICE DURING TRANSITIONS

Times of transition are tough for organisations in terms of dealing with low employee morale, losing out on opportunities, increased costs for training/skilling, and increased time for producing quality outputs to name a few. Why do employees struggle to cope with newly introduced organisational policies? How can leaders in decision making positions leverage transitions to build employee morale? Apart from thinking through such questions, transition coaching helps in streamlining actions, emotions, and behaviours of teams dealing with change. Coaches work with employees/teams to establish positive mindsets and attitudes towards change. This would range from establishing internal congruence, building support mechanisms and an adaptable mindset.

EMPLOYEES STRUGGLE TO EFFECTIVELY TRANSITION INTO NEW ROLES

According to research, employees struggle to turn new skills into automatic habits required for new roles. Mastering systems and processes in the organisation, downward communication, delegation are some aspects which employees especially struggle with. These result in lower productivity and increased tensions. Transitions and changes affect teams as a whole, and hence it becomes necessary to ensure that transitional phases are handled as smoothly as possible. Transition coaching helps employees adapt in the best possible manner in their new role/function to meet their own needs, and also the expectations of the organisations. Coaches work to build an enabling environment for employees at various career stages, functions, and roles to ensure both employees and organisations make the most out of transitions.

SELF DISCOVERY LEADS TO ACTIONABLE STRATEGIES DURING TRANSITIONS

Spending time on understanding how employees/ teams work through change, what shifts occur in their beliefs and approach to work, how they deal with problem areas and pain points is crucial for organisations to build strategies to power through transitions. What works and what doesn’t work for teams and leaders throughout these periods of transitions is important to understand, since it would point to ways of quickly and efficiently making actionable plans to deal with varied sets of challenges. Transition coaching deeply engages with behaviours, attitudes, motivations and aspirations of employees to help in putting together implementable strategies to deal with change.

  • A highly personalized engagement where I partner with the leader in transition over a period of 12 weeks, unlocking their perspectives and support define their goals, strategies and actions

  • Aimed at teams experiencing transition, these group coaching sessions spread over 16 weeks helps teams to reflect, learn and define their strategies to achieve team goals while realizing individual aspirations

  • During transition upskilling your teams with specialized skills (Building trusted relationships, Effective client engagement skills etc.) are critical. But most trainings fail to deliver impact as there is little guidance or support after the training. My approach combines training programs followed by personal coaching sessions to help your leaders not just learn new skills but implement their learnings and continue to learn from their experiences while implementing what they learn in trainings.
