Are you using the lockdown period to your advantage?
Keeping fit and trying out new classes?
I've doubled my yoga and pilates classes and ditched the gym for circuit training. Not having to get somewhere saves loads of time (and money).
Some people enjoy the slower pace of ‘stay-at-home’, hanging out with their dogs and cats, while others homeschool.
What about your work – are you worried about how this will affect your career?
Whether you see this as the Great Awakening or the biggest disaster we’ve ever experienced (or both), one thing’s for certain—we're preparing for a big shake-up. We know that retail and brands are taking a hit, and the survivors of this global crisis will be scrutinising their leadership teams.
Will you be on the rescue team?
I don’t want to sound like the Grim Reaper, but isn’t it better to start preparing to be in a stronger position?
When London went into lockdown, my headhunter's head kicked in. It's pretty easy to visualise the future from that perspective. So I wrote a letter to all my coaching clients to share my thoughts and recommendations. It's turned into a weekly letter, and this week, I shared a comprehensive career checklist, which is an action plan.
15 things that every director should be doing for their career right now!
Companies need good leaders, but how can you stand out in a crowded market?
That's where this checklist can help. I've based it on the traits of successful candidates and 20 years of recruitment experience handling high-profile and confidential searches. The checklist follows the journey I take my Career Accelerator coaching clients on, so I know it works.
I've outlined how to go beyond your CV, how to position yourself as an expert, and how you should always be working on your personal brand.
So, if you'd like a copy of that FREE checklist and to receive the Insider letter I send to my private clients and personal list, you can sign up here.
There was never a better or more vital time to work on your professional profile!
Use the lockdown wisely, allocate time to work on your career and profile, give yourself a competitive advantage, and strengthen your position for what comes next.
But take time to appreciate your dog or cat while at home together!
