Design your life!
What were your hopes when you first trained as an OT? How have your expectations been fulfilled?
Many OTs are facing a turning point in their careers. With the political and financial situation in the NHS, the promise of a safe and secure job is no longer available. This coupled with the increasing devaluation of your skills which, many of you describe, means that the job for which you trained has changed. Many newly qualified OT’s are finding that jobs just do not exist.
The time is right to take stock and see how you want your work life to be in the future.
Many people get “stuck” when they start thinking about change. Worries about pensions and security come to the surface. Confidence issues nag at us telling us we can’t do anything else. Time constraints reinforce the difficulty we perceive in moving forward. Attachment to our job title can often stop us seeing our skills in broader sense.
Whatever stops you from making changes or indeed enjoying where you are right now, coaching can help! Working with a coach offers an unique opportunity to explore the possibilities and opportunities you may have in a safe environment. No one else is in charge of your life – just you and as coaches we believe you have all the resources you need to achieve your dreams.
As OT’s we work with people all the time. Whatever setting you work in, you gain a unique insight into their ups and downs, dreams and goals and the challenges that have to be faced. OTs are experts in life design. However designing your own life is often more difficult?
Working with a coach means commitment and investing in yourself. This provides you with a sounding board, reflection and structure from another professional who will be objective, honest and on your side! The impetus of making such commitment to yourself creates momentum and working with a coaching will reinforce this. We are living in times where the ability to deal with ongoing change effectively is vital. Coaching can help enormously in enabling someone determined to make changes in their life working to unlock your dreams, boost your natural creativity and build on your dreams to make them real
Whether you want to start your own independent OT service, start a totally different business, change career direction, write that book which has been nagging at you for years, retrain in something completely different, move to France and paint or own a vineyard, we believe you can do it. Why not you?
