Careers

Plan Your Career

Many of us work for over a third of our adult life, yet we don’t invest much time in reviewing our career to check if we are doing what we are best at, in a job we love. Planning your career is is all the more important in a workplace that experiences turbulence and unpredictability.

 

 

Smart decision-making and good career planning can serve to help you to manage yourself during this turbulence and seize career opportunities that come your way.

You can start by asking yourself these questions:

  • How do I explain my work to date? (understanding the career story)

  • Where I am now? (assess current values, skills, etc.)

  • What drives me? (identify career drivers and purpose)

  • What do I want? (prioritise needs and goals)

  • What holds me back from getting what I want? (barriers to change)

  • How do I get there? (self-marketing & action plans)

Arranging a career conversation with one of our highly trained and experienced career coaches can be a starting point for answering these questions. Invite us to work with you on unblocking the things that hold you back.

Career planning, job coaching and other workshops

Our training programs have proven very popular, with outstanding feedback from attendees. The program covers areas such as navigating workplace change, career planning, preparing for job applications and interviews, building self-awareness, enhancing work relationships; as well as training managers to coach when conducting career conversations during appraisals, or when on the job addressing issues as they arise relating to job performance, burnout or job dissatisfaction, or exploring ‘outside the square’ career progression.

Working with organisations

WorkWare encourages organisations to adopt a self-paced career culture, where career development programs encourage staff towards self-managed careers. We develop career programs that support a preventative strategy and a more resilient mindset. This approach contributes to preparing staff internally for structural change as well as being more productive in their work.

 

Change Management

Workware has significant success in working alongside management to identify and manage the impacts of change on staff, with topics such as: guiding managers to gain skills to manage the process the change with staff; and advising on communication plans and messaging to staff.

Conversational Intelligence ® 

Conversations are the cornerstone to relationships. We’ve grown up with a narrow view of conversations, often focusing on the exchange of information and giving of our opinion. The reality is that conversations are dynamic, interactive and inclusive and we have the ability to open people up or close them down within 0.07 seconds, even before we’ve opened our mouth!
