Career Management
The Harris Smith Career Management experience develops as a response to each executive’s unique situation.
TurningPointe™
A career turning point is a defining moment in an executive career when the clarity around direction is in question and alternative pathways are often possible.
TurningPointe™ is an individually-crafted experience which enables executives to sharpen their career management focus. It encourages the exploration of turning point challenges, assists the executive to capitalise on the opportunities these offer, and prepares them to make the right decisions for their future.
TurningPointe™ provides a real opportunity for the executive to reflect, refocus and reframe. Its essential dynamics offer the energy and potential to actively engage in a renewed future.
How do you recognise a career turning point?
Some career turning points are totally obvious and can be recognised for what they are. Others may not be so easily discernable. Typically, turning points are created when the executive:
- Is offered a promotion
- Is personally uncertain about the right career direction
- Does not have clarity about future professional developments
- Experiences a shift in responsibilities or role
- Is overlooked for a promotion
- Confronts work-life issues
- Reacts with doubt to a specific career scenario
- Is to be released or is facing redundancy
- Has an external opportunity
- Becomes a candidate for an overseas appointment
- Needs to work through future options inherent in the succession plan
- Recognises the need for a new sense of purpose and energy
- Is considering a Directorship/Board appointment
Importantly, it provides a real opportunity for the executive to reflect, refocus, reframe and exploit the essential dynamics that offer the energy and potential to actively engage for a renewed future.
