Like a cup of coffee for your career

Last week, I got a text about a team that needs coaching support.

They're looking for someone with my exact skillset - a person who knows how to help folks achieve huge results, on a tight timeline, without burning out. 

The leaders want to help the team develop resiliency and manage their stress during this tough (but exciting!) project. 

Sign me up!

There was just one thing. 

They wanted to see my coaching resume. 

While I've created dozens of resumes in my career, I've never made one specifically to capture my coaching achievements. 

Usually prospective clients just check out my website. 

But it turns out, I didn't know what I was missing.

While building a resume can feel like a slog, reviewing and compiling all my coaching accomplishments reignited my enthusiasm for my work and gave me a huge boost of confidence. 

It may sound silly, but it had been a while since I'd thought about some of these things.

I've been featured on local TV, not once, not twice, but three times. 

I've given talks to employees at household name companies, like HBO, Zillow, and Bank of America. 

And I've coached some of the most spectacular, brilliant people. 

No matter what happens next with that team that's looking for support, I am so glad I made this resume. 

I'm still feeling energized by it today, and it's there to review on those days when I'm struggling. 

And that surprising and delightful sense of lift I got from this activity - I want that for YOU too.

When was the last time you catalogued your accomplishments? 

When was the last time you really took a look at the hard work you've done and the wonders you've created with it?

When was the last time you felt impressed with yourself?

It doesn't have to be in the form of a resume, but I invite you to take some time to remember how amazing you are, how far you've come, and the big and small ways you're leaving your mark on the world. 

Don't think you have much to discuss in this regard?

Look again. 

Even if you aren't where you thought you'd be by now, chances are, you've done some really cool things. They deserve to be seen. You deserve to be celebrated. 

Even if there's more you want to do, you've already done so much. 

All the best,
Kori
