Heike came to us as a referral from someone who had visited our website. Downsized from her previous job of ten years, she was uncertain about what she wanted to do next, uncertain that she wanted to return to a corporate job but needing to, and uncertain about how to conduct her job search.
She was crystal-clear, however, about wanting to gain clarity concerning her future career and identifying specific goals for her life. Finding balance between her career and the other facets of her life is very high on Heike’s list of priorities.
We began working with Heike immediately, assisting her to hone her already impressive resume. She stepped up her networking efforts, meeting with people that she already knew to inform them of her job search, and doing informational interviews with people we recommended to her as potential resources.
Heike attended our Principle Edge seminar, during which she identified her principles and mission statement. It became clear during the seminar that Heike has a good sense of who she is and what she wants, and what she got from the seminar was confirmation. Her transformation during the seminar was dramatic. She went from feeling depressed, somewhat resigned and uncertain, to discovering a new sense of energy, vitality and enthusiasm about her life and career.
What happened next was amazing! She almost immediately located two potential positions with well-known international companies in a field that excited her. She sent her resume in and was selected by BOTH companies for interviews. “I can’t believe it!” she exclaimed. “These were both blind ads. Suddenly, I’ve gone from not seeing any opportunities, to having two great prospects show up at the same time.”
Within a month of the seminar, she landed a high-powered position with one of the two companies. What makes this doubly remarkable is that these positions represent a significant change from her previous career.
Now that she’s on track with her career, Heike is starting to create what she wants in other areas of her life. She is identifying long and short-term goals and she is starting to assemble her “dream team”. These are the people who have specialized skills and expertise to help her achieve her goals. She is also planning trips around her love of the outdoors.
“A lot of great things started to happen in my life from the moment I got in touch with Teri and Sue,” says Heike. “It’s not easy to leave one’s comfort zone. I am so thankful for all they have encouraged me to do, including making sure that I incorporate time in my hectic schedule to enjoy myself and have fun.”
