What’s Your Exit Strategy?
Are you unhappy with your current job and don’t know what to do?
Do you need to make a change but need help creating your exit strategy?
Today, I want to share with you story of a client who reached out to me feeling tired, frustrated and not sure what to do next. Here’s his story.
Meet Mike from Kansas City.
The coach/client relationship is confidential, and Mike is open to share his story with you. My hope is that you will see yourself in his story and Take Action to create the change you want in your life and career.
What prompted you to hire Sarah to be your coach?
I hired Sarah because I did not feel that I was providing value to my company in the way that I wanted to. I also felt like I was in a role that no matter how hard I worked or tried to make a difference, I just kept sliding and was not feeling motivated. I knew that I wanted to quit my job but needed guidance on the path.
What are the tangible results of your coaching experience?
Sarah was able to ask the questions that I didn’t know I needed to answer and help me find a productive path to exiting my company. She also helped me to take control of my exit and constructively leave without burning bridges and actually help the company even after my exit. I was able to make a list of what needed to happen before I left and also the goals that I wanted to complete while I was not working. I was intentional during the interview process and found a job that met all of my goals.
What are the intangible results of your coaching experience?
My sleep and overall mental health improved by taking control of the process rather than simply complaining to my spouse. My former company’s response exceeded my expectations and I feel that it was due to the prep work I did with Sarah.
What are Sarah’s strengths as a coach?
Sarah is able to ask the questions that I would have only known to ask after making mistakes. She can help anticipate situations and help you take control of situations that feel chaotic or overwhelming. She is a calm voice during a stressful situation and is able to help you take control when you’re not sure of what the next step should be. Sarah let me make the decision and does not often offer advice; she just helps you find your path. Initially, I wanted her to tell me what to do, it was only later that I realized that she let me choose my only unique path.
What was memorable or meaningful about your coaching experience? Would you change anything?
The path to exiting my role in a positive and productive way. It took several sessions, but Sarah guided without giving direction and let me choose my path even though it was definitely a different exit than most people take. I wouldn’t change a thing.
Do you feel your coaching dollars were worth it? Why or Why Not?
Yes, it is an investment in your future and making mistakes when you are making changes in your career is too expensive to pass up Sarah’s guidance.
Why do you think coaching works?
It helps you to reveal the person, employee, manager that you want to be.
Anything else you would like to share?
Sarah’s coaching helped me to enjoy my last month at my old company more than I had enjoyed at any point previously with that company. I was able to leave in a way that reflected well on my team and the work that we had built together. Sarah helped me be intentional from start to finish on doing this successfully.
