How To Change Careers

Your Self Help Guide

Well, as a Career Coach, I am bound to recommend coaching as a way forward, aren’t I?

However, I also recognise that not everyone wants to try coaching. The time may not be right for you. You may feel you can’t make the financial commitment at this stage. You may just want to think about it a bit more.

That’s fine. Coaching works best when you are really motivated to make changes and just need someone to support and encourage you along the way.

But what if you are at the 'just looking' stage of working out how to change careers? You are feeling restless and know you need a change, but you are not quite ready to dive in.

At this point, you really just need to have ideas, information, suggestions and pointers to get your thinking moving in the right direction. Anything to get the wheels ticking over in your mind so that you are not totally stuck.

This is why I have created a sister website to work alongside Career Plan Coaching.

It is called – no prizes for originality here – How To Change Careers.

This site is aimed at career changers around the world. It is designed for the hundreds, thousands of people out there who are stuck in uninspiring jobs, who want to change but just don’t know where to begin.

I would love to be able to support every one individually, but given that, when I last checked, I had had visitors to that site from 77 countries, that would be quite a tall order!

So the How To Change Careers website is designed to be a self help site. It takes you through a step by step process to help you work out where you are now, what you want from your future career, how to research it and then go out and get it.

You can follow the steps of the process or you can just dip in here and there for some ideas and inspiration. You can come back to it again and again, just to keep you on target as you manage your own career change.

It is, in effect, a kind of virtual career coach for you to turn to whenever you need it.

You will find ideas and information about

• Where to begin


• Assessing yourself


• Your career personality


• Tackling the money issues


• Keeping motivated

...and much more!

And if you think you need a regular nudge to keep you going, why not sign up for my newsletter, The 5 Minute Career Coach? I usually mail out every couple of weeks or so to my community of career changers around the world.

This means you get a 'shot in the arm' at intervals so that your career change process is kept on track.

And as a thank you for signing up to The 5 Minute Career Coach, you will get a copy of my free ebook, 11¾ Ways To Kick Start Your Career Change.

Remember that at any stage you are welcome to come back to Career Plan Coaching and arrange for some more individual coaching support around your career change and related career issues.

So for those of you who are thinking of changing careers but who don’t feel ready for one-to-one coaching just at the moment, take a look at the How To Change Career website and start taking action to make your career change happen!
