FIND THE CAREER YOU WANT

#1 Career Move Blueprint

You work hard and you consider yourself successful at what you do. But recently you noticed your work isn’t as satisfying as it used to be.

Our Career Move Blueprint is a 8-week program that has been designed to give you the know-how and confidence to plan and execute a career move, so you can feel like you’re in the job you were made for! This course will give you an opportunity to look at your career from the outside in, to help you decide what you want, what suits you and explore what you have to offer.

GOAL SETTING

In our first session we will land on goals that will stretch you, just enough. They need to feel attainable but also inspiring.

Our primary goal as a coach is to keep you on track to meet those goals. Just like any good coach, we do it through encouragement, support, tough love and mindset training.

ROADMAP & PLANNING

We truly believe that you can make money doing anything, you just have to have the tools and discipline. We want you to take the steps to get out of your comfort zone, and maybe take some risk, but in a planned and organized way.

We won’t quit any jobs or jump into anything without a plan for generating income in your new endeavor first.

IMPLEMENTATION

This might be a financial plan, a new linked in profile, marketing tips and tricks, networking strategies, or a business proposal. These are the necessary actions to get you from here to meeting your goals.

This is where I lean into my 16+ years of work in advertising, marketing and start-ups.

Call Peter if you need direction in your search and help with your resume. He took the time to really understand my skill-set and background. Most importantly what to edit out of my resume...which was a lot! Since sending this new version to hiring managers, I have two promising interviews scheduled.

His unique process helped me focus on what I want to be doing so I can have a more fulfilling and successful career. He gave me great insights on my skills and the most current and innovative ways to market myself. I highly recommend Peter to all new job searchers and anyone looking to make a change. Thank you!

For over three decades I have limited my life having certain beliefs. Some I already knew, others I became aware of through being coached by Peter. Even when we are aware of the reasons we do things the way we do, we may not necessarily know how to change it

Working with Sankofa Team was a valuable experience to help determine how I would be perceived by job recruiters. I personally appreciate their direct and honest approach, after all, what better way is there to learn how your resume and job interview skills measure up in the real world.

Peter is such a professional. We had a 50 minute session for interview preparation was informative and helped with a few tips and tricks to improve my interview skills.

Why career coaching?

You’ve got the job. Or maybe you’re looking for the next one.

Wherever you are in your career, knowing what step to take next can be a minefield.
Career coaching supports people like you in making informed decisions about the development and trajectory of their career, as well as provide expert guidance around the tools you can use to meet those goals. A career coach will work with a specific type of client, often in an industry that they have deep expertise in, to guide them towards strategic actions they can take to achieve their career objectives. The role of the career coach will be to work with you to:

Discover, clarify, and align the ‘optimum outcome’ you want to achieve
Encourage deep self-discovery to facilitate meaningful progress
Help create solutions and strategies that you believe in
Hold you responsible and accountable for your success

Depending on what challenges you face in your career, the benefits you will experience can be hugely varied. It’s very common for our career coaching clients at Sankofa Coaching to report that they:

Gained a new perspective on personal challenges
Learned better decision-making skills
Improved their communication and effectiveness

In general, those who take part in a quality coaching program tailored to their specific needs can expect to see higher levels of productivity at work, a more harmonious balance between life and work, and reaching goals easier and faster.

A study by the International Coaching Federation (2009) also reports that 80% of people who receive coaching report increased self-confidence, and over 70% benefit from improved work performance, relationships, and more effective communication skills. 86% of companies report that they recouped their investment on coaching and more.

What’s the ROI for career coaching?

When you invest in yourself, you invest in your value.

Career Coaching is a necessary investment in yourself when you are a high-achiever.
At Sankofa Coaching we believe career coaching is a necessary investment in yourself; and when you invest in yourself, you invest in your team and you invest in your organisation.

Our methods are designed around your specific needs, based on a deep understanding of challenges commonly faced by high-achievers in the management consulting, IT, Sales, Marketing and B2B sectors.

Your bespoke program will track tangible commercial goals specific to your organisation, in addition to your own personal ROI (pROI) in areas identified as being important for your own personal and professional development as a well rounded, conscious professional.

So, that you can get the most out of your coaching, we discuss the results you’re achieving both inside and out in each and every session. Each session is a like a review in itself, which allows us to tweak and tailor your bespoke coaching experience.

How can I get the most out of career coaching?

Make a commitment to yourself and take action.

Career coaching works best when you are in a position where you can truly focus and invest in exploring yourself, developing new self-awareness and giving 100% to taking action to get the best results.

At Sankofa Coaching we aim for lasting results. Instead of directing you to the answers, we work with you to raise deep consciousness from within and empower you to choose solutions which are intuitively powerful and sustainable in your life. We have often seen that the success of the professionals on our Career Coaching program often comes down to three factors: being honest, having the right mindset and taking action.

1. Being honest

Being honest means coming to each session ready to communicate about what challenges you are facing, both externally and internally, in work or personal life. It means fully embracing the coaching relationship as a safe space for open communication without fear of judgement, so that a plan can be put in place that achieves the optimum outcome based on your challenges in both work and personal life.

2. Right mindset

Having the right mindset, a growth mindset, means being ready to receive feedback with an open mind, and understanding that only you have the power to create lasting change in your life. It means listening actively, but also being open to doing things in a different way. It means understanding that while a coach can be a transformative element in your life, they cannot provide you with answers or tell you what to do. They can facilitate a deeper understanding and awareness of the self, but they cannot make decisions for you.

3. Take action

Taking action means, taking the action necessary to step into your new identity as a highly competent, deeply conscious leader. It means being ready to make life-changing transformations. It means being open to new ideas, being willing to step out of your comfort zone and being motivated to build a deeply conscious, results-oriented approach to your career.

How can I transform my career quickly?

Develop a highly evolved, integrated and conscious worldview.

As a high-achiever in a successful management consulting, IT, finance or engineering organisation, it’s more important than ever to possess a highly evolved, integrated and conscious worldview – and at Sankofa Coaching, this is what we help you achieve.

When you enrol in the Sankofa Career Coaching program, you’ll see transformations in three main areas:

1. Changing deep rooted behaviours

You’ll gain a deep understanding of how your work affects your life, as well as deep diving into personal issues that could be affecting you at work. You will overcome self-limiting beliefs and replace them with positive thinking and behaviour patterns that come from a place of deep, conscious self-aareness.

2. Becoming more effective in your current role

Within our first few sessions you’ll have a clear view of your strengths and skills, and know how to make the most of them within your work.

You’ll also become clear on how to achieve the next step in your career, compile a realistic set of goals and a plan of action and find out what type of job, role or organisation will allow you to feel fulfilled in your career.

3. Finding your authentic future direction

Deeper awareness of your unique strengths and personal brand means you’ll be able to stand out from the crowd when competing with other job seekers. You’ll also undertake highly personalised interview coaching to ensure you make a great impression when interviewing for a new role. In addition, you’ll learn exactly what you need to do to make a lasting impression in your new position quickly and successfully.

The Sankofa Career Coaching program deep-dives into your specific areas of improvement to unlock your most unparalleled levels of authentic and effective decision-making.

You’ll quickly find that integrity, conscious self-awareness and strategic, future-based thinking take centre stage. And through the construction of a highly personalised action plan, you’ll be empowered to step into your power as a dynamic, emotionally intelligent professional within weeks.
