Your Value

When it comes to career coaching, whether the client is trying to transition to a new job, or increase responsibility in their current organization, I will often pose some trigger questions.

• What value do you bring to your current organization or to the organization you are hoping to get hired into?
  
  
• How can you help move the same organization forward?
  
  
• How best can you support the leadership's agenda?

The answers should not be quick and of the cuff - rather thoughtfully articulated with much consideration, and best answered by shifting your perspective to that of the organization you want to be a part of.

If you are in transition, I encourage you to give pause to the above inquiry, write it down, and revise your findings as you consider it more.  Moreover, this 'value statement' should always be accessible to a professional, serving as a reminder of why they started along their professional journey to begin with.
