Damaging Belief Systems Every Professional Needs Know

And why you should bust them immediately.

💥My ‘pedigree’ aka branded university will future-proof my career💥

DO NOT COUNT ON IT!!

Your degree from a branded university may help you get a foot in the door.

It certainly cannot future proof your job.

No guarantees whatsoever!!

Things that can future proof your job are:

*  Your attitude
*  Your history of the value you give the company
*  How you get along with others
*  Staying relevant in the job market
*  Life-long learning

Having a degree from a name brand university help the starting point of your career, but it does not assure your permanency.

Refresh your career. DM us now!

And why you should bust them immediately.

💥My outstanding scores are my job security💥

Absolutely no way!

That’s really outdated!!

20 years ago, you could graduate from a brand name university and have outstanding scores to score a job in top firms.

Not now…..

What really matters now is:

*  Your unique selling proposition:

Know your unique value that sets you apart from competition

*  Evidence of what you can do for your employer:

Include case studies, project results, testimonials, metrics etc.

*  Problems you can solve:

Show case problems you have solved, money and time you have saved for the company.

*  Self-marketing and positioning:

The very first impression you created in their minds determines your relationship with them. How did you approach them online and in person? Was it creative? Unique? Did it create an impact?

*  Social media presence:

Is your presence on social media professional? Have you published content to show your depth and breadth of knowledge?

*  Networking:

Your network is your net worth. Make sure you are proactively networking with professionals to keep with the trends and also you have knowledge of opportunities.

And why you should bust them immediately.

💥 There is only one career that I can fit in💥

Not at all!!

Why would you even scrunch yourself up in a box!?

An individual has so much potential and facets….

Each individual can easily be repackaged into different careers simply based on their natural talent, expertise and experience alone.

In the current job industry, it is natural for professionals to have 2 or 3 careers and cross industry experience too.

It’s never too late to go for a career change.

And why you should bust them immediately.

💥I MUST find and follow my passion in my career💥

This is the biggest reality check every has to take.

STOP trying to find ‘nirvana’ at work.

Find a job in alignment is not a continuous flow in our career path.

Sometimes, we have to pay the bills.

I’m not even suggesting going for a soul-sucking job.

Pick a job that you are good at and pays well.

Save up and at the same time keep looking for the job that suits your passion.

Chasing happiness can cause more unhappiness.

Rediscover your strengths and find your right job fit. DM us now.

💥My career must be linked to my degree💥

This is certainly not an arranged marriage situation.

Our career does not have to be irretrievably linked to your degree.

Feel free to delink your degree from your career.

If you have developed expertise in coding, data analysis or social marketing – go for it.

You may end up being highly paid for it.

Don’t stay stuck trying to make a career or find a job with your degree in finance, if it doesn’t work for you.

And why you should bust them immediately.

💥My parents knew best about what career I should choose💥

Parents want nothing but the very best for their children….

….and they would sell the shirt off their backs to give their kids a better future….

Most professionals are primed by their parents since their childhood to choose certain jobs.

We just need to understand that their motivators for choosing those professions for you do not apply to you. Also, times have changed, and the basis of those decisions do not hold good anymore.

Some of their motivators could be:

* Wanting to fulfill their own unfulfilled dreams through their children
* Social status
* Focus on financial stability

Some decisions are good. Some not so good.

It is up to us as individuals to check out our career decisions at critical ages or career phases:

* When you turn 18 years and are about to choose a degree
* When you turn 21 years and have graduated and are about to pursue your career
* When you turn 25 years and have spent a couple of years on the job
* When you are in your 30s/40s – that’s your mid-career and now might be the time to make that change.

Professionals!! Strategies To Empower Your Relationship With Your Employers….

💥Claim your personal power 💪🏽 and feel more empowered in your . 💥

📍 Get past the employee mindset.

⚡️ Imagine you are a consultant looking for a best fit client to offer your expertise and improve profit. Evaluate the company as they evaluate you.

📍 You are worth more than your paycheck.

⚡️ You are the value you give. The company gets 2 or 3###x more value more than your salary for the work that you do. That is your actual value, if you were your own business.

📍 You are more than the job description.

⚡️ You’ve outgrown your job since you took it up. You are your CURRENT core competencies and expertise is exactly what you deserve to earn.

📍 Reframe your relationship with your manager. No more authoritarian figures. You are a consultative partner.

⚡️ Your manager is the sum total of the collective efforts of the team. No team = no manager. Have a balanced, open and collaborative approach with your manager..

📍 Re-think your approach to your probation & performance appraisal. Do a reverse performance evaluation to see if the company is helping you grow professionally.

⚡️ It’s a two-way street. Benchmark the company against your career development criteria: pay, professional development, rewards, growth opportunities, workplace culture, work life balance etc.

If you don’t know what you want how will you get it?

What are some things that we are tolerating in a work culture that you are frustrated with:

Here’s my list:

- The frustrating recruitment system
- Pointless meetings
- Rush Rush Rush
- Information overload
- Way too much focus on improving profit margins
- Customers are more important than employees
- Disproportionate pay in performance when compared to senior management
- More time on laptops, less time in people relationships

Testimonial from client:

“…an impressive and highly professional resume”
Rish*ta Raj, Accountant

First of all, I am very thankful that you wrote an impressive and highly professional resume for me. I am very proud to say that I am the first career woman in the family and it is sometimes hard for me to find my way in the professional world. Your career coaching covered several different topics which taught me many things that will be very useful in my career: managing first impressions in written and face to face communications in professional areas, how to think ahead and have ready solutions, examples of attention to details, building a career as a recent graduate etc.
