It’s important to evaluate your coach to make sure they have the skills, qualifications, and experience necessary to help you reach your goals, Sonja tells listeners. Mary Ann highlights the need for individuals to gain more digital skills to stay competitive in the post-COVID job market and she suggests taking online courses or going back to school to gain such skills. Sonja recommends looking for a coach who offers a ROI guarantee.
When you want to transition careers you should marry your past work experience with the direction that you are heading in the future and to look for creative ways to work around any prerequisites or qualifications that may be listed in a job description. Mary Ann adds that it is important to adjust your mindset, as a negative attitude is likely to make interviews shorter. Sonja provides coaching services to help people adjust their mindset and identify the right fit opportunities in their next career chapter. She helps them build confidence and break down their fears for the future.
