Career and Executive Coaching from Hong Kong

If this is you:

"I'm adjusting to a new position, a new company and/or a new culture."

here's how I could help you...

The first few months in a new position can be challenging. Why? You need to learn so many things, such as:

• How to do your new job; how to meet expectations, requirements and targets; how to use new skills that your new job requires.

• How to work with new people including your boss, subordinates, colleagues and customers. This is especially complicated in a matrix, networked multinational organization. 

• How to rebuild all the parts of your working life that give you your confidence, such as your job capability, reputation, connections, support, knowledge, and sense of belonging. The faster you do this, the quicker you'll enjoy your new job and start producing excellent results.

• How to operate most effectively in a new company, regional or national culture. The people in your new environment may be surprisingly unaware of the culture they operate in, since they have not experienced the culture you came from. Therefore, you will have to figure out a lot of the differences yourself and learn how to adjust.

• How to make the most of your strengths at work so that you can feel fulfilled and be at your best. Hopefully, you've chosen your new job in part because it is closer to your preferences. However, aligning yourself and your job takes time and greater self-awareness. The first few months in your new job is the best time to clarify what you want and set expectations with your colleagues.

The good news is that change is always an excellent opportunity to learn and grow. Career coaching is a service ideally suited to support people in this position. Here's how:

Step one:

I listen very very well so that YOU can more thoroughly understand the situation you are facing. You can talk openly to me about anything without fear that anyone else will find out, and knowing that I will always accept you and give my honest response. By listening very well, I will help you reflect more effectively and learn faster. 

Step two:

I ask questions from a different perspective so that you can see the situation in ways you hadn't considered before. I support, endorse, encourage and challenge you in the way YOU choose that supports you best. 

Step three:

I openly share my feedback and past experience that is relevant to you and I make positive suggestions based on my understanding of careers, management, culture and human behaviour.  I will share relevant advice from the latest literature on job change and culture change. Currently, my favourite book on this topic is The First 90 Days, by Michael Watkins.

Step four:

I help you focus on taking actions that move you forward.  

My experience with career transition coaching:

I've had some wonderful clients who hired me to help them be successful in their new management positions, for example, a newly promoted manager in a finance company and a new General Manager in the pharmaceuticals industry. I've also had some clients who hired me to get them out of the mess they found themselves in after failing to adjust well to their new position. For example, you can read a sad story here about one expatriate man who I coached. 

I've been coaching in Hong Kong since 2000, have worked with more than 200 people, and if we click, I'm sure I could help you too.
