There’s a kluge slowing down your next level of career and life satisfaction.
And it isn’t you. It’s your career process.
If you even use one of your own.
Certainly the official process is broken and not getting fixed fast enough.
That buzzword ‘kluge’ - don’t you love it - means “an ill-assorted collection of poorly matching parts, forming a distressing whole. Or, “a clumsy or inelegant solution to a problem”. A kluge is exactly what the norms of career design, hiring and promotion that are passed down to you are. People continue to trudge through the messy, unreliable, slow procedure of getting considered for a better job, and if lucky, getting narrowed down to The Top Candidate. It’s a rough way to go, because only one person ever gets that job. Everybody else’s efforts – yours - to research the company, state your brand, send in your entire history, wait, wait, phone interview maybe, live interview maybe, wait, wait, wonder, start over as the spec got changed, wait some more, never hear a thing…) result in nothing, really.
I blog so talent can better comprehend the results of career management, a little-talked about strategic discipline yielding business and personal outcomes, first established 30 years ago. I’ve posted this educational article prepared for my 2500 permission readers and community of practice, because I genuinely believe could interest a reader like you. It’s an invitation to the single last opportunity to work with me 1:1 at 2005 rates -- a once in a lifetime Success Celebration special rate I do not have any time to repeat. Read this essay and come hear more Thursday May 15, 5:30 pm. Email me for teleconference bridge number by noon Thursday please. Meanwhile, happy reading.
As the talent who want to join an employer, old ways of careering are a gross waste of your time, and don’t build a good 2-way relationship with you. You who can do so much for an organization if you can make them ‘get’ why, are turned off by dealing with employers. The corporate talent management initiatives you read about haven’t so far taken up their opportunity as much as you’d expect. They will once they learn more about Career Equity™, but meanwhile it’s a secret weapon talent like you is using with enormous success.
You need to raise your game and actually lead employers. They can’t say it publicly but they appreciate and reward candidates and talent who do. They can’t choose you without considerable help -- from you. You can’t access your next organization through job boards and Linked In and social media if you don’t know where your highest value is. Get good at this, and you own your career path and earnings picture.
Get a career-leadership process you use. Raise your game. It’s the cure for the common kluge.
A next role that’s better for you comes easier when your method actually unlocks and creates career value in you that wasn’t seen before. That’s what we do here.
Talent sorely lack the insights and process to pinpoint their durable Success Pattern™, uncover their relevance to other companies, new levels and new industries, and personally focus a next boss’ attention on why they’re able to produce the outcomes his or her exact business challenges require. No other career help source anywhere but here shows you how to raise your career management game to pull more value out of your background and career move. It’s a pleasure to career the Career Equity™ way, and you reap the tangible rewards perennially.
People keep doing what doesn’t work! No wonder the statistic even now is that, 8 of 10 people don’t like their jobs. People look at the postings, apply, wait….etc….over and over again. Nothing about talent’s role in this hiring kluge has changed very much, just that this dreary application process was picked up and automated, online.
It doesn’t stop at stating your brand, you need to understand the boss’ problems and why you are especially relevant to take those away, and even get to know your next bosses ahead of time. That’s true career control and it’s yours to gain!
Fruitless job hunt so far? Longing for a career change? Paid too low? Want more balance?
What career problem do you want to stop so well that it never comes back?
That’s what we do here.
Nothing else you are doing about your career achieves what Career Equity™ can to compel the people you want to work for, to ‘get’ that you’re the one person who can help the most with their exact business situation. Hint: to become the best person to pick, don’t tell all about you, ask all about the boss’ challenges. How different is that from what you hear elsewhere? We do 15 things differently here that matter that much to your career and income freedom.
Many kudos to you. I will be more than happy to be a reference - I know I would not have gotten this job, or the compensation, without your guidance. - M
You don’t even have to know what you want next. That’s normal, but it stops you from going there, and is a sign you need to adopt a process, not to wait for clarity to strike on its own.
That’s what we do here.
Giving yourself the deep, personal, systematic career-improvement process of Career Equity™ doesn’t just test you and talk about career paths that you could somehow or other take, like all previous career counseling and coaching methods do. The Career Equity™ process is so deep and natural it almost immediately changes your relationship to your career. You grow a new career identity and feel confident, in control, and of a value that lets you walk into new levels or a new industry that matches your best work, without retraining. And unlike do-it-yourself careering or previous career help sources, having a step by step process pulls you along so you arrive at how you need your work to be, months to years sooner than any other way.
What are you doing Thursday May 15 08 after work? And what are you doing that’s this good for your career?
I’m intentionally giving short notice on a once-only surprise invitation for readers, because I don’t want to create more demand than I can accommodate for this unprecedented value than my senior executive 1:1 and content publishing businesses permit. It’s an once-in-a-lifetime Success Celebration offer that can’t be repeated, so please look into it for your health and wealth.
• Seriously evaluating having a career coach?
• 3 days left for readers at under $140K to seek my cost-recoverable 1:1 advice before private fee locks in at executive rates already in effect since 2006 of $7-10K.
• Email me to reserve your space on a Career Equity™ Teleconference for talent in careers under $140K – Thursday May 15, 5:30 - 6:30 pm.
• Bring your top 3 questions with you to the call. They’re probably a bit like other people’s and hearing what they ask me will help you too.
• Use a nickname if desired so you can speak freely about your industry on the call.
• No pressure from me, naturally.
• Complementary bonus for all who sign up for the call.
• Suitable for knowledge workers in areas such as IT, telecom, new media, financial markets, engineering, management consulting, marketing management, entertainment, design and communications. Senior Executives are requested to contact me independently.
• Coaches and Grad Schools – This May 15th 2008 Teleconference is reserved for talent only, please. Add Career Equity™ advanced career management to your toolkit. Over 17 years I’ve developed and tested on thousands of people a system that creates a measurable surge in the career and income results your clients gain, and is deliverable more easily than your current coaching methods. A separate call is being arranged for all coaches, consultants and higher education providers interested in learning about the Career Equity™ system leading the way in today’s career management. Contact me to be kept updated on those developments.
I like our partnership a lot. You are operating in real time … you are working with my career situation as it unfolds at my workplace. I like the combination of working with structured process that’s well thought out, with movement along every step of the way, and the astuteness and intuition that you bring to my context. The mixture is one of systematic and organic. This is the best of both worlds. - T
Do you long for a fresh new career? We make that happen, without starting over.
Even if your occupation is one of the few that’s easily placed by recruiters, because it’s in demand, careers lose their lustre. You can be in demand in theory, but not feel very engaged any more. Then comes a worse kluge.
Adults tend to assume changing careers after a few years is just for dreamers and out of the question! The most realistic of career-change help sources tell you to accept a pay cut after a costly retraining program. Or to follow your passion but work into it slowly, part time, or as a hobby.
It’s far different here. Instead, we know why the credibility to do new work is in you, and we know how to pull it out and help you refashion it. Knowing your Success Pattern™ unlocks your value to new spaces. And asking the company questions rather than sending out all your old information, distinguishes you as their most relevant, least-risk choice.
Career happiness arises from a new philosophy and tools. We give you those here.
Other times, you just really need to feel better about your place in your industry or workplace. We achieve surprising things with private clients when they understand their career self better. The deep understanding you gain here gives you a whole new relationship to your career that may mean you can stay where you are because it now feels different to you. If you’re in trouble with a boss, you can reclaim the situation and shine. If you thought you needed to leave, you can get new duties and thrive.
When you and your help source are operating in kluge mode you aren’t in the mindset to do this.
I just want to say that I really enjoy talking with you. I get energy from the things you say. You see things that I overlook and identify what I am blind to. Your command of adjectives is inspiring. You are a professional. You're good at what you do and I could not imagine a better coach.- T
Clerks to SVPs make 15-200% more with the Career Equity™ system and no retraining. We make that happen here.
The best ways to help get you hired are barely on your grad school’s radar yet. They’re still equipping grads with last-century, unsystematic career management. People fresh from their new designation or graduate degree, find it hard to distinguish themselves from classmates and land something that truly requires and taps all they have to offer, using the standard job-finding kluge.
Certification bodies and grad schools have barely begun thinking about the career ROI of their offerings. One MBA school advertises the value proposition that its grads see a 20% increase in income. But users from clerks to SVPs have obtained 15-200% more with the Career Equity™ system that finds and builds their additional, fresh career value, as is, no further schooling required.
The naiveté and waste from a lot of old career myths still in force really bothers me. My longstanding mission is to popularize what career management achieves, vs. haphazard, common careering habits. I know you worry whether career help is worth it. A lot of it feels good but the results are vague. Most career experts don’t realize they’re giving you last-century’s thinking (even if on the internet). So I gave the name Career Equity™ to my expert system to get across what using it yields for you. As you know, owners have equity. They reap so much more from their time and resources than non-owners, such as tenants or staff.
By adopting Career Equity™, you get the same desirable leverage any company owner or home owner holds – a controlling say, higher earnings, residuals aside from your daily work, and more peace of mind. What’s your favourite thing about owning your home or owning a piece of a company? Imagine feeling that security in your gut every day and having the ease of more leverage with employers. Year in, year out. Without waiting ages to arrive there. That’s compiling your Career Equity™.
Mary-Frances offers a career service which spans the details of getting paid what you're worth to the essence of creating a meaningful career/life. She very quickly understands who her clients are as individuals, their strengths, their capacities - and combines that with deep, leading edge knowledge of the career landscape, to help clients move creatively in new directions. I experienced her as a truly trustworthy ally on my career journey - and her compensation negotiation expertise helped me ask for and receive higher compensation than I would have on my own.- S
In recessions, and in boom times, managing your career (vs. keeping on kluging) gets you further along your path, and gets you valued – and thus paid -- the most.
Since 1991 I’ve helped individuals tap, build and keep their career power, and grow in career and income satisfaction through both types of economies. Make sure any career guide you follow knows about that.
What if I said that you can have your own system to lead your career to be how you want it to be, and nobody told you about this before? A system that roots out and stops your most troubling career issues you thought you had to put up with -- in choosing careers and on the job and in and getting hired or promoted -- from ever happening to you again?
The best career advice isn’t DIY guesswork, faint hope, amateur advice or previous help sources – all these keep you caught in the kluge.
Neither parents, spouses, friends, educators, bosses, recruiters nor the majority of career help coaches can give you the things we know. They simply don’t know nearly enough about career management, to be able to actually show you how to assure that any career activities you do, yield fulfilling and productive results every single time. They know to tell you conventional job hunting rules or to go get more training. The disconnect is, for most people, applying as a stranger rarely makes you the one selected for a job.
How you run your career, from defining yourself and your options to talking about yourself to relating with your network and guiding interviewers -- can routinely save you weeks, months or even years enroute to having the role, environment and pay you want. Or, done the previous old kluge way, it costs you months and years.
The kluge mishmash way starts from three wrong assumptions – that your value and attractiveness come from your formal skills and that companies always know what they want and that you should stick to what their postings tell you to do – myths that cost you months or years!
Add up the costs of not managing your career systematically - even if you don’t know what you want next
Let’s count those costs; I know you know them well: Dropping your personal goals. A career identity that’s only 'some of you’. Unclear communication about why pick you. Downtime. No recognition. No access. Suppressed pay. A sense of little respect. Little bargaining power. Career moves come no easier.
The experience of having your Career Equity™ is the opposite of all that. Rather than scamper from one outgrown job to the safety (or miracle) of the next, just thankful you finally got it, and glad to forget the whole painful ordeal till next time, have fun leading your career. The hassle of job-to-job-then-stop careering has to be repeated. Next time you contemplate a move, same issues. Breaking through to get the work you want, when you want it, remains a chance thing.
Career Equity™ is a systematic process to follow. You can have it for yourself and profit off of how you run your career. You get paid back every time you use these tested, natural methods I developed. You get paid in career amenities and assets that make your life proceed much easier and make you more money. When you lead and manage your career using your personal system from me – everything you want speeds up and multiplies. Your sense of what work you can legitimately do blooms. Your industry options increase and unfold. Your ability to access the right people blossoms. People want to talk to you and introduce you. Companies want to meet you. The job you accept fits you and your goals. The pay you accept is attractive, better than their usual offer. Plus, each career move or change is now easier than the last, because of all these beneficial, profitable – even beautiful -- career powers that are yours to keep after using Career Equity™.
I networked into an environment that had prior knowledge of my strategic and process modeling background. A consulting position was created for me to assess a growth opportunity. I have been working diligently to communicate my value not only as an analyst but as a driver as well. That has paid off, and the term contract is being prematurely converted to a full time position. And, for the second time since I started on the Work Creatively diet, I find myself writing the job description, the culmination of having effectively created a position for myself.- R
Get paid dividends just for careering a better, nicer way
The advantages of careering this way compound every year in a controlling say over what work you accept, being valued and paid more than others and having bargaining power, enjoying the residuals of reputation and relationships working for you while you do your daily work, and tremendous career satisfaction peace of mind. That’s ownership.
If you like where I’m coming from, you’re not alone. Career Equity™ arose from 17 years of being on the front line of careering, alongside you as your guide. We’ve become acknowledged innovators leading our field. And now it’s time for the brand to go big. Employers are receptive, as our clients’ successes show.
In the past 4 weeks, 4 clients accepted new roles that are great for them in new industries at the same or better pay than they were making.
Kluge-free career moves, accomplished here.
They did not retrain. They did not sell themselves. They did not ask people for help or even for job leads. They were far from pushy. They did not send around many resumes; some used no resume at all because they lacked the right experience to put on one. They skipped all these drawbacks of old-century careering, and used the enjoyable, tasteful, rapid and kluge-free complete Career Equity™ system.
I’d like to see you claim this completely different, effective and employer-approved mindset, tools and system to move your career and income forward to how you what things to now be. You deserve to know that this is attainable months or years sooner than you’d expect based on the older, less enjoyable careering methods you are taught anywhere else.
Get the career reality I’ve described here, and quickly, with me as your private advisor. I guide you through, advising you step by step as a totally personalized project.
BTW, I hope you’re enjoying this post. I really enjoyed composing it but please - do not try to get a job by sending direct mail that sounds like what I blog to you. Marketing yourself to your new employer is far different than customer education like I as a firm owner do. If you want a job or contract that complements your expertise level, you need to find out what your best companies’ and next boss’ actual concerns are and actually known to them personally, and not hit send so often. The comfortable, career-making skills of visbility and needs-identification are two of the 15 things we do in Career Equity™ that noplace else knows about or shows you.
Changes in our company, and you
While it’s obvious Career Equity™ stands to bring in more opportunity and pay than the way you’re careering now, there is a flat fee of a few thousand dollars to secure my help to direct your career move as a 1:1 project. May 15, that rate needs to go up for everyone. I can only take on a few private clients, because it’s my chosen new way to work and live.
You’ve read these comments in italics from a few recent clients, now what do you want to be able to be, do or have more of from working together for your career and income?- MF
If you’ve always meant to get me as your private advisor, because your career improvement efforts are producing too little change and progress, too slowly for you, you need to contact me by Thursday, May 15. Spaces are very limited for 1:1 at this or any fee level, and higher rates lock in immediately. I’m happy to work with you at old rates -- if you take the first step to email me on Tuesday the 13th, Wednesday the 14th or at latest, by 12 noon Thursday May 15. Simply tell me you want to attend, and I’ll send you the number. All you need to prepare is what 3 questions you have. Detailed personal emails cannot be answered.
I’ve been phasing in a Private Advisory Client Profile gradually since 2006 and after May 15 it’ll be fully in effect. (The Profile I’m otherwise working with now 1:1 possesses nine factors including an income of over $140K. See Private Client Profile on my blog. Perhaps it’s you already. Certainly we can move you there.) Executives find kluge careering especially frustrating and detrimental, even career-stopping. So I have gradually channeled my 1:1 work to them and after May 15 they the only private clients time will permit me to take on. At the new rate, it’ll be those successful people who already earn $140K or more that will find my 1:1 private advising the clear-cut option for them.
To help you decide to get started, you can hear more about Career Equity™ and ask me your top 3 questions May 15. I can’t answer emails given the group volume so instead I’m opening a teleconference line up on Thursday evening. My client alumni community and everyone in our 2,500-strong reader community is warmly welcome. Likely to be small, but maybe large -- this will be a fascinating and probably intimate group discussion to listen in on or participate. Your careering issues are other peoples concerns too, I promise you. Use your first name or nickname for your privacy on this unique call, and ask the 3 things you need to know about your situations and the value of career help.
While the evening isn’t a substitute for private 1:1 advice, you’ll get a taste of that and of the completely different CE system. If the refreshing Career Equity™ way of experiencing your career powers sounds appealing, join this call. Hear about the system and what it achieves 1:1.
Work Creatively’s Alumni re-engage with me 1:1 although they have the system under their belts already, because their improved career’s challenges grow more sophisticated; and they value applying my thinking again about going to their next level. They found the movement they gained a bargain, and they love their new relationship to their career.
What are you doing Thursday after work? And what are you doing that’s this good for your career?
I’m intentionally giving short notice on a surprise, once-only invitation for readers, because I don’t want to create more demand than I can accommodate for this unprecedented value than my senior executive 1:1 and content publishing businesses permit. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime Success Celebration offer that can’t be repeated so please look into it for your health and wealth.

I’ve kept registration for this invitation-only call quite simple. There isn’t any form. All you need to do to get on the call, is email me at mffox@workcreatively.ca before noon Thursday to reserve your space (I want to have the right group size and our teleconference service provider caps the number of attendees so we need to know you’re planning to attend).
I’ll send you back the call-in number. Emails sent to us after 12 noon May 15 will not receive the call-in number in time.
Bring your top 3 questions about your career and private career help with you. They cannot be answered on email.
Complementary bonus for all who sign up for the call.
If you read my blog posts of May 2008, you know our company is changing and its community is growing. That’s the reason – since I want to do more with my business and my life -- I must bring the old rates for 1:1 advisory projects to a distinct close May 15. As our new focus, I am bringing out creative, interactive Career Equity™ content, experiences, events and opportunities (e-books, beta edition-book, MP3 recordings, course, coaching gym, open line gatherings, membership downloads site, roundtables and more) so people not yet at $140K gain their Career Equity™ using these accessible solutions.
But collecting up tools, even innovative ones from me, is not the same thing as committing to creating your best career outcome, and focusing yourself enough to take just one first step to get it. If you’d value seeing a real difference – getting the relief, clarity, acceleration, and results that have eluded you – in a private project with me, we’ll sort out your kluge with structure, accountability, thought partnering and specific how-to’s built around you, and delivered so your trouble not only goes away this time, but it also can’t come back.
No other source shows you not only how to fix your career problem for now, but do it in a way it can’t come back.
And gets you paid dividends every year, just for the way you lead your career.
Private projects are suitable for knowledge work professionals and senior leaders in areas such as IT, telecom, new media, financial markets, engineering, management consulting, marketing management, entertainment, design and communications.
If you always meant to work together personally, this is one last special opportunity at old, pre-2006 rates.
While my practice finishes up the transformation to a coaching solutions and experiences company with a restricted number of 1:1 projects starting at $7K, I’ve decided to offer a unique 1:1 project promotion for the under-$140K audience one final time. The Success Celebration invitation to go through the Career Equity™ process privately with me rolls your fee back just this once to our 2005 average fee of $5K + 5% GST, all in.
This investment is attractive to people earning about $100K or ready to go there next.
Our rates averaged $2000 in 2002, $3000 in 2003, $4000 in 2004, $5000 in 2005, $6000 in 2006, $7000 in 2007 and now $8000 in 2008. People choose to invest this much (it’s less than half of what an outplacement project costs, but you get more attention, more expertise and you get further) because it comes right back to them in tangible and intangible benefits and profits.
But I can’t counsel with all my time, I need variety and many more people in our country and globally need to get Career Equity™. So now I limit this wonderful, enjoyable private work to only 10 people a year, normally senior executives now, and am producing extra tools for you. Those tools are in development, but if you want to be one of these last people under $140K whom I personally help reach a career goal, right now you’ll get the same advanced expertise the most senior top-earning executives investing $7000-$10,000 or more to work with me receive. After May 15, it’s not available for less than 5% of your usual comp, minimum $7K.
What You Get
For your investment, I walk you to a complete career move or change. Nothing you turn out to need is left out. No excess is added in if it doesn’t relate to you. It’s not a study class, but an iterative business collaboration project. We have some high-yield, exciting groundwork to do at first, and the project ends by my guiding you through your salary or rate negotiation.
(I’m a salary negotiation expert. That rare know-how, uncommon among career advisors, is alone worth the fee. For example, a manager client after a short search directed by me recently received double the initial offer, and it was a total career change!)
In our project, there’s no set number of discussions. Why on earth would I do that? So you go as fast as you can, not save issues up till a weekly session, as most coaches and counselors have you do. I am not in the weekly meetings business, I’m different in regarding what I do as the you-see-progress business. It’s unlimited how much of my input you can get, and quickly. Fine details on the uniquely responsive way I collaborate with you available after the call.
The unique financial paybacks compared to other 1:1 help
Our fresh thinking and systematic process not only gives you a whole new experience of your career available nowhere else. You even get paid to have it! Expect your investment in 1:1 advising with me to come back to you in full, or multiply, in several ways within a few months to 2 years. Compared to working with a generic coach or career counselor, or on your own, with my system you’ll experience a financial yield in at least 8 ways:
1. More, feasible occupational and industry options without returning to school
2. Clear and compelling value that makes contacts do as you request
3. Your acknowledged value to companies increases
4. Your best potential next bosses know you and trust you
5. Time is money. Your elapsed time to a new job appropriate for you (not just any) is shortened by costly weeks, months or years
6. Negotiated offers pay you in excess of the norm. Almost everyone can get more than they think, comfortably. Negotiating improves your ties to your new boss.
7. Raises are correctly based since you came in at the best attainable pay
8. The (Career Equity™) way you did this move leaves you with more career ease, access, reputation and freedoms to benefit from again in the future.
This is no come-on you’ll just hear from me again later. It’s once in my lifetime, and yours. You can benefit from my knowledge guiding 7 and 6 figure earners. Private project rates were increased to a minimum $7K in mid-2006, and those files keep us as busy as we want to be in the 1:1 area of our business. I take on just 10 individuals a year actually, and they need to match a 10-point Profile. You can get one of those projects in the future if you fit the Profile and there’s space or take the plunge and advantage of the…..
3 reasons I can do this unique fee rollback for longtime readers once, right now only, up to May 15
I don’t do sales. Don’t have to. The professional work we do together is extensive, enjoyable, effective - and it pays you back. So no deals are necessary, the proven Career Equity™ system is the best career moneymaker available on the planet today. But now is special given the new directions in our company (have you been reading my blog?), so let’s celebrate.
Here’s why I can do something so special:
1. I want to offer this benefit to those of you who have known me as long as 10 years. I would love to see you have and grow your Career Equity™. The work’s grown progressively better with time. It’s leading-edge and I’d love for you to reap its phenomenal benefits before 1:1 stops being available to you on this basis.
2. I can do this because there are no office costs for me or trips for you. We work 100% by phone, email and web now. People are wired and like the convenience.
3. And it’s spring, the right time to renovate your career thinking and routines since the upcoming summer grants you just enough time and opportunity to do the steps to determine and land work that’s incredibly right for you this fall.
Frankly if you earn under $140K and want to get to that level or simply re-establish a far nicer career situation that really fits you, ASAP -- now’s your best and last moment ever to be advised 1:1 by me, the founder of the strategic, creative, natural and effective CE system.
VERY SPECIAL THING I HOPE TO GET FOR YOU:
I have in mind the number of people I’m willing to help right now. If the total response hits that number, i.e. if my secret number of people attends the call – I’ll lower the project fee further to 2004 rates of $4K for everyone present on the call who now earns under $140K. That’s half the current rate.
So email me you are coming, please. This discount off the discount only applies if a certain number of people respond.
Really, this week’s your moment of truth to at last clarify what your hesitation is, bring your 3 questions and on Thursday, clear up in your mind what you are going to do about your career - keep running it the same way, or fix it so you and your income flourish by making my system your own.
Career Equity™ is hot, we’re moving onwards and I want you among us to celebrate and make your career and income how you want it. The decision to partner up will be yours, I promise zero pressure from me. It’s not how I work. I only can help a person who wants to actively seek and follow my custom advice to them.
No CMAPs, as featured on my websites, are available to personally explore all the advantages to you, in view of this one-time rate rollback. The business case, my passion and innovation and the proofs of others’ results are this note and my Typepad blog.
I know deciding is a leap, but the minute you do, on the other side are so many career benefits, and quite possibly it’ll cost you not one dime.
I’ve done what I can. The next move is yours.
You know you need to own a better careering process than what you use now. This is it. Here’s that once in your-and-my lifetime opportunity to get it.
TWO WAYS TO ARRIVE THE CLOSEST, THE SOONEST TO THE CAREER REALITY YOU NOW NEED IN YOUR LIFE
What do you need? I help you figure out what works the best for you and the marketplace and make it pay. Process is the key. I’ve got a great one, do you? It’s time to raise your game.
If what you’re doing about your career isn’t moving you promptly along to a better situation, you need to take a step and contact me about either:
1. Career Equity™ Success Celebration Teleconference
• Serious about moving into a nicer role or income and trying to understand why people say career coaching is worth it?
• The Thursday 5:30 - 6:30 pm teleconference is for those now earning under $140K who’d like to confirm that it’s true there’s an easier way to get the right raise, promotion, better job or contracts, or change careers, far sooner than they thought possible….and work with me 1:1 on having that, over this spring and summer.
• Email me before Thursday noon to get the call-in number. Emails sent in after 12 noon May 15 will not receive back the call-in number in time.
• Bring your top 3 questions to the call. They’re probably a bit like other people’s and hearing what they ask me will help you too.
• NB: Live 1:1 CMAPs with me as described on my websites are not available for this promotion. I can’t take that time to help individuals understand and decide.
• Bring your top 3 questions about your career and what good career help produces. Confirm that our work can help you gain so much and ultimately cost you nothing.
• Use a nickname if desired so you can speak freely about your industry on the call if need be.
• WCCA Alumni warmly welcome.
• As my reader, you are welcome to tell a successful friend who is less than delighted with their efforts to alter their current career situation. Have them email me directly so I know of their desire to be on this limited-invitation call.
• Complementary bonus for all who sign up for this call.
Can’t make the date? I limit private project spaces to a very low number now so would need to know about your interest to accommodate your career project.
2. Executive Private Advisory
• Seriously evaluating why your competition for executive positions and your peers retain a private career coach or a smarter system or both?
• For many years and exclusively since mid-2006, our work has proven highly successful at adding career traction, control and bargaining power to executives matching a certain Private Client Profile (please review the Private Client Profile page in left column of my blog).
• If those factors describe you and your situation, you are invited to contact me directly for a confidential initial discussion of your situation and a potential CEMAP.
• Just 10 private client engagements are undertaken per year in addition to our content publishing activity.
• 2008 Project Fee is 5% of salary, minimum $7K.
• Executive Alumni preferred rates available.
Talk with you then,
p.s. Hope you enjoyed this insight into my business, our mutual successes as a community and why my career advising and system works better than previous generations of career help, yet ultimately costs nothing. There are 20 things we do in Career Equity™ that noplace else knows or shows you. Welcome to your Career Equity™ and especially to the Success Celebration rate reduction available May 15. Remember to ping me to get the call in number by noon Thursday. And to share this invitation with your most successful friend.
p.p.s. Under $140K and can’t make the May 15 call date? Or, you’re in our Private Client Profile. Signal me of your interest in order to discuss working together 1:1 so I know about you. I now limit my 1:1 spaces to a small number per year and they always fill quickly.
*Coaches and Grad Schools – This May 15th 2008 Teleconference is reserved for talent only, please. Add Career Equity™ advanced career management to your toolkit. Over 17 years I’ve developed and tested on thousands of people a system that creates a measurable surge in the career and income results your clients gain, and is deliverable more easily than your current coaching methods. A separate call is being arranged for all coaches, consultants and higher education providers interested in learning about the Career Equity™ system leading the way in today’s career management. Contact me to be kept updated on those developments.
