Clarence Consulting - The Career Coach

With just a little over a week to go to Christmas.......

I've decided to close up shop a little early... I've one client and a few chemistry calls scheduled in the coming days but other than that, I'm packing away the laptop for 2 weeks.

Before I take a break, I wanted to share a few of my updates in this special Christmas Newsletter.

Workshops & Training

I recently launched my Triumphant Transitions Webinar. This is a new programme for organisations to help their newly appointed or promoted staff. Recent Gartner surveys indicate that 49% of people promoted internally are underperforming up to 18 months after their promotion and McKinsey has reported that 27% to 46% of executives who transition are regarded as failures or disappointments two years later. They have the right skills and experience and they understand the company’s goals but they do not have successful transitions.?This webinar which is interactive, will assist individuals to raise their awareness of the principles and pitfalls of a transition and prepare them to be triumphant in their new roles especially during their first 100 days. Recent participants rated it a 4.8/5! Give me a call if you'd like to discuss this webinar further.

Reading

Looking for a stocking filler for?#Christmas?or a treat for yourself over the holidays.

Did you know that there's such a thing as ???#Bibliotherapy?or literature / library therapy? It refers to a technique of using books and multimedia to enhance health and wellbeing in certain contexts.

?? ?? Reading books, as opposed to newspapers or magazines or not reading at all is associated with a 2-year reduction in mortality (Bavishi et al., 2016).

At the moment, I'm reading Positive Health, 100+ research based positive psychology and lifestyle medicine tools to enhance your wellbeing by a group of academics from the?Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.?Ciaran O'Boyle?Dr Jolanta Burke, CPsychol?Padraic Dunne?Christian van Nieuwerburgh?and Trudy Meehan.

It is a really insightful, thought provoking??and action orientated book and well worth the read. There are calming and energising tools, coping and feeling-good tools, meaning-making and relationship tools.

My favourites are the?#coping?and?#feelinggood?tools as I'm ever the?#optimist?and an avid proponent of?#reflectivewriting?and?#playingtoyourstrengths.

Definitely one for the ?? Christmas Stocking ?? or I'm sure you can pick it up in a local library. Enjoy!

While I'm away
