Fink Development | Career and Executive Coaching for Mid-career Professionals and Leaders

Putting in the time and work to get clear on what you truly want and go after it is a lot. Our brains are literally not wired for ambiguity and change. They’re like >>> Get me out of here as fast as frickin' possible! It makes sense that you will feel moments of doubt, and fear, and overwhelm when you’re embarking on something new because your brain is causing those feelings to arise. The hardest part of the work isn’t taking the steps to achieve your goal, it’s managing your mindset to allow you to take the steps in the first place. Remember when things feel tough, focus on your mindset first and the tacticle is easier to manage. #Careers #CareerTransition #Jobsearch #PersonalDevelopment

Leading a team for the first time after being an IC can feel daunting. But, there’s 1 surefire way to hit the ground running. Here’s an example of a client we worked with last year. She came to us after being an expert IC in her field, but now stepping into a high-profile leadership role for the first time. She was successful in one aspect of her career, but this felt like a totally different ball game, and she knew she needed to get it “right”. One of the first steps we took together, was to get clear on her core values and how she wanted to show up as a leader. Next, we got clear on her greatest strengths, as well as some of her new team’s greatest strengths, so she knew how to leverage individuals’ talents to drive success. Finally, with every new challenge that arose while working together, we came back to these foundational elements to remind ourselves of who she wanted to be as a leader, how she wanted to show up for her team, and how she wanted to support others in her organization. After several months of working together, she felt she had developed a robust toolkit to draw upon, as new unexpected challenges came her way. If you're wondering how to show up as the leader that you want to be, focus first on clarity, authenticity, and intention. #Careers #Leadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #PersonalDevelopment
