What are strategies for helping clients transition careers later in life?

O processo pode ser facilitado por estratégias que enfatizem o autoconhecimento. Encoraje os clientes a refletirem sobre suas habilidades, paix?es, valores, experiências e interesses. Isso pode ser feito através de exercícios de reflex?o, análise de feedbacks anteriores e identifica??o de realiza??es significativas em suas carreiras. Utilize a metodologia DISC para ajudar os clientes a compreenderem melhor seus estilos comportamentais. Isso permite uma maior compreens?o de suas preferências de trabalho, estilos de lideran?a, comunica??o e ambientes ideais de trabalho. Apoie os clientes a investigarem as diferentes op??es de carreira e setores que correspondem às suas habilidades, personalidade e valores.

When you decide to make a pivot in your career path (no matter your age), you first need to learn your strenghts and weaknesses. I recommend Clifton Strenghts. Once you are self-aware, you can start looking for a new career that needs your strenghts. Also, start thinking outside of the box and apply a growth mindset, learn everything you need to learn and do not be afraid of a new challenge!

In my experience, it is always an challenge when you are open to new opportunities . So when i do that i always see my strength areas which was base known as foundation and start building up floors known as building blocks . If I talk about Cloud Computing then it was my infrastructure skills and years of handson experience.

Include a revaluation of your expectations of work/career in your self-assessment. We all carry expectations and internal narratives of what work should look like, feel like, and what we want it to provide – from financial compensation to personal fulfillment. These expectations shift and change throughout our working lives. Reflecting on our expectations at the outset of career change provides valuable information. "What are my expectations of work and career at this stage of my life"? "How have my expectations influenced the choices and decisions I have made concerning work and career"? "What am I now open to"? "What am I resistant to or unsure of"? "Can any of my expectations be re-defined, expanded, or changed"?

One of my favourite exercises I tell employees looking to make a switch to try is the Start, Stop, Continue Exercise ??. Reflect on what activities or habits you want to initiate (Start), those you need to let go of (Stop), and those you should maintain (Continue). Essentially, determine what brings joy and what does not. This exercise provides clarity on the actions required for a successful transition, helping you build on your strengths and address any obstacles.

Support and self-care are key ingredients in navigating a career change. Some sample reflective questions: "Do I have the support of family, friends, colleagues, mentors, or career counsellors/coaches"? "Where can I reach out for questions, conversation, and perspective"? "How well am I attending to my overall well-being and practicing self-care"? "Do I take time away from the process of career change to experience and nourish other areas of my life, to cultivate other personal interests"? "Am I able to integrate healthy and manageable strategies that benefit me physically, nutritionally, psychologically, emotionally, and relationally during this process"? Am I compassionate and flexible with myself and with the process of change"?

Career change(s) can be exciting, and they can also be challenging and destabilizing. They can take a short period of time, or they can drag on longer than we anticipated. It can be helpful to do a motivation “check-in” regularly during this time. Some sample reflective questions: "Do I have the motivation and emotional stamina for a career change"? 'How is my energy, motivation, focus, and mood today, or this week"? "What can I realistically accomplish today or this week"? "How do I feel about what I have accomplished so far"? "What can I celebrate"? What needs re-adjusting, and what should be prioritized"? "Can I identify when and under what circumstances my motivation drops, and when I am energized"?
