Career Coaching Challenges:

Raising Your Visibility

Raising your visibility at work is essential to advancing your career and achieving your goals, but it can be challenging to do so authentically. Many people struggle with self-promotion and fear of being judged.

We understand that raising your visibility authentically is key to success at work. We can help you develop strategies to increase your visibility in a way that aligns with your values and personality. Communication can be especially challenging for introverted individuals, who may find it difficult to speak up in meetings, network effectively, or promote themselves and their ideas.

We recognise and celebrate that everyone including introverted individuals have unique strengths and challenges when it comes to communication. We can help you develop strategies to communicate effectively, such as preparing in advance for meetings or presentations, leveraging your strengths in written communication, and finding alternative ways to network and build relationships, such as through one-on-one conversations or social media.

We can also help you overcome any fears or limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from raising your visibility at work. By building your confidence and practising new behaviours in a supportive, non-judgmental environment, you can develop the skills and mindset to raise your visibility authentically and increase your chances of achieving your professional goals.

We can also provide you with tools and techniques to manage the stress and anxiety that can come with communication as an introvert. By building your confidence and practising communication skills in a safe, supportive environment, you can develop the skills and mindset to communicate effectively and achieve your career goals.

Worklife Balance/Fit

It can be difficult to juggle work and personal responsibilities, and many people struggle with burnout and stress. Our career coaching services can help you develop strategies to manage your time effectively, set boundaries, and prioritize your wellbeing.

The World Health Organization defines Occupational Burnout as a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.

The risk of burnout unfortunately is real. Occupational burnout is increasing, according to a Workhuman joint research report with Gallup (2021), highlighting that it’s an international crisis and that employees in Ireland are suffering from burnout and stress more often than those in other European nations.

The world of work is changing rapidly, the air of uncertainty, speed of change and challenging workloads are impacting some of us more than others. What influences our perceived idea of stress and ability to cope are wide for example there are intrinsic characteristics, personality traits, coping behaviour and extrinsic features such as work relationships, work overload, lack of control, lack of job security, lack of resources or communication, constant change and work-life conflict.

Burnout begins with an individual’s perceived idea of difficulties/threats and their ability to cope. We can feel isolated, lonely, removed, on auto-pilot, disconnected or demotivated.
