Individual Achievement is under rated. Each individual should be able to look back over their own lives and feel good about something that they alone were challenged with, engaged in and conquered on one’s own accord. This is what I would like to cultivate and unveil with an Education Center’s participants. This is not all inclusive but my initial thoughts and focuses would be in the following 4 step process.
1. An awareness of one’s Position
By allowing and directing each participant to take an honest inventory of exactly where they are today academically, marketability, financial, socially and spirituality. This is the first and most challenging step towards the inevitable change that needs to take place in a person’s life. I intend to gain, and develop a rapport with our clients to service them on a consistent basis in the exact area of need. Determining an appropriate sector of the workforce in which one could be the most productive will save a lot of frustration anguish and valuable time. This level of honesty and truth is needed for any long term development to occur.
2. Becoming Marketable
Human resource experts state that the longer a person is out of work, the more difficult it becomes to gain viable employment. Potential employers may be concerned that a person’s skills may be more out of date than those who are currently employed. I want to bring our clients into the realization and truth that yes we are in the midst of a tough Job market but there are things that each of us can do to separate ourselves from the crowd of candidates. Developing a sense of urgency will be paramount to achieving success in this area. A mindset of “I can do All things through Christ who strengthens me” will be so very important through this journey of becoming marketable. Therefore keeping up with what is being inquired upon, knowing what the current needs are, staying abreast to existing trends will be imperative in becoming an in demand worker.
3. Overcoming Setbacks
As a cheerleader for success I intend on lending an ear or a shoulder of encouragement if one of our associates experience rejection. Discouragement is inevitable during this complicated journey of applications, resume writing, interviewing, contacting, networking, resource gathering and reference pulling process. But my desire is to be a source of re-channeling energy to a positive place, that will trigger hope and great anticipation for what is ahead. Helping our students to “Think like the Employer” will become a spotlight with each tutorial for job searching. Knowing ones worth, in which I intend to have previously enveloped, will be a critical objective in getting to uncover true effectiveness.
4. Celebrate Success
As a coach, we must play a role in developing and nurturing, but I look forward in playing a role in achievement as well. The goal line of whatever is my clients’ ultimate desire of accomplishment will be a daily reinforcement in training. Once completed, we will look back and see this miraculous Journey of hard work and dedication to see that it was all worth it. Ultimately, it will be a testimony for someone else to follow and know that dreams are possible if dared.
