"I'm adjusting to a new position, new company and/or new culture."

The first few months in a new position can be challenging. Why? You need to learn so many things, such as:

• How to do your new job; how to meet expectations, requirements and targets; how to use new skills that your new job requires.

• How to work with new people including your boss, subordinates, colleagues and customers. This is especially complicated in a matrix, networked multinational organization. 

• How to rebuild all the parts of your working life that give you your confidence, such as your job capability, reputation, connections, support, knowledge, and sense of belonging. The faster you do this, the quicker you'll enjoy your new job and start producing excellent results.

• How to operate most effectively in a new company, regional or national culture. The people in your new environment may be surprisingly unaware of the culture they operate in, since they have not experienced the culture you came from. Therefore, you will have to figure out a lot of the differences yourself and learn how to adjust.

• How to make the most of your strengths at work so that you can feel fulfilled and be at your best. Hopefully, you've chosen your new job in part because it is closer to your preferences. However, aligning yourself and your job takes time and greater self-awareness. The first few months in your new job is the best time to clarify what you want and set expectations with your colleagues.

The good news is that there's no reason to suffer in your situation.

We can help you enjoy the changes and quickly learn to excel in your new job.

Who will be Supporting and Motivating You?

You will be matched with one of us according to your specific needs.

Angela Spaxman is one of the leading executive coaches in Hong Kong.

"I work with experienced managers, executives and business-owners who have an international mindset. My clients want to figure out how to have a job that inspires them. Sometimes they want to start working for themselves, or at least get a better boss. They often need to develop certain leadership and communication skills, so they can be more effective, enjoy what they're doing, and land the next job.

"I've been coaching since 2000 and before that I was in corporate training and management consulting. I'm also a serial leader of non-profit organizations, currently as the President of the International Association of Coaching. This habit helps me keep in touch in what it means to lead."

Carole Lewis is a veteran corporate communications trainer and coach.

"I support business women and men who are ready to move up to the next level of confidence and effectiveness in their careers. My clients are often making decisions about their current jobs, learning how to be more influential or how to step up for a bigger challenge. They're getting clear about their own styles and work preferences so that they can be at their best and have a balanced and fulfilling work life."

"I've been in communications training and coaching in Asia and Canada for more than 17 years working with many of Hong Kong's leading organizations. I'm a proactive person and I help my clients take positive actions towards their goals through solid encouragement, objective input and powerful insights to help them discover their own answers."

What's Really Stopping You from Making Progress in Your Career?

Many people waste years of their lives thinking that they should be able to find solutions to their career problems by themselves. What's stopping you?

Is it lack of time?

The reality of our modern lives is that most of us are too busy just keeping up and we don't make the mental space for reflection about these important issues. It's easy to procrastinate over making career changes.

The assessments we offer, plus the coaching, will save a lot of time and get you started on this important task. And we'll follow-up to help you keep taking at least small steps so that you can make steady progress.

Are you lacking a neutral sounding board?

Despite their good intentions, your friends and family are not the best people to support you with career decisions. They are not neutral advisors because they care too much. They have their own agendas for you. They want to keep you safe and close to them. Or they have their own biases that stop them from seeing what is best for you.

To make the most effective career decisions, you need a neutral sounding board who can help you understand yourself, all sides of you, and is willing to talk openly about the reality of your situation. That's how we can help.

Are you stuck?

If you're feeling stuck, there are two possible reasons:

1. you know what you need to do but you don't feel comfortable with the risk;
2. you don't have enough perspective on the situation.

We can help you clarify and mitigate the risks, and gain the perspective to see the way out of your situation.

When you're stuck, the smartest thing is to do something different! That's the only way to get unstuck. We can help.
 

Will One Meeting Be Enough to Resolve Your Career Problems?

Many of our clients find that the insight gained with the assessments is enough for them to find their motivation. Once they are feeling clear and confident, they will carry on with the changes on their own.

But career development can be complex, and many more of our clients find they want more support. It may take more time to navigate all the decisions, processes and self-development steps necessary to get on the path of success. We offer a variety of telephone and in-person coaching packages that you can consider once you have completed this first step. We want to fully support you.

Whether or not you choose to continue with coaching, we're sure that the assessments and this meeting will be a highly valuable step towards resolving your problems. And the most important thing is to keep moving. Take a step forward today!

Are You Ready?

How many months or years have you been wasting in a job that doesn't suit you?

How much longer are you going to suffer with an inadequate boss, a boring work environment or other daily frustrations?

How long can you put off making the decisions that will put you on track to a fulfilling career?

With the support of a coach and these assessments, you'll simplify the process of self-discovery and quickly make the decisions or find the insights that have been blocking your progress, guaranteed.

We want to support you to LOVE YOUR WORK. Everyone deserves to love what they do, and the world is a better place when we all are fulfilled and successful at our work.

Make Better Choices, that you might not have made on your own.

"I've now been running my own business for a year (almost to the day). I'm earning more than I did at my previous job, working fewer hours (or at least hours under my own control), and I'm happier than I've been in a very long time! My previous employer is now a client - and every time I go back there for meetings, it's obvious I made the right decision to leave. ... I wanted to thank you for your kind words of encouragement and your useful assessment tools, which definitely helped to get the ball rolling."
