Debunking the Myth: Why Coaching is Worth the Investment (Part 2)

The Momentum Files #39

I have 2 clients with job offers this week - here’s what they asked me.

If you could ask me – an Executive Coach – anything… what would you ask?

I get lots of questions about resumes, the interview process, networking in a way that actually leads to opportunities, effective job search strategies and how to figure out what types of jobs to pursue, professional development and growing in your current role, leveraging your skills and experience to enhance your career trajectory… and so many others.

Today, I’m inviting you to ask me your biggest question around career transition or the job search process.

Why?

Because mastering either of these things takes careful planning, sharp focus, steady confidence and smart strategizing.

And while transitioning into something new can be exciting, the process itself can be emotionally draining… especially if you’re going through it alone.

(There’s a myth that it’s easy to take on your job search or career transition alone rather than investing in your success by hiring an Executive Coach. If you’re seeking more money, fulfillment and perfect-fit opportunities... take a look at this myth-buster.)

But before you reply with your question, I want you to see some of the questions my Momentum Coaching clients asked me before they were my clients. 

These are some of the challenges they were struggling through that made them realize they didn’t want to do this alone.

▶️ Job Application Process

“Every job posting feels like a battle. The competition is fierce, so how do I stand out?”

“How do I stay motivated through this endless job search? I’ve applied to dozens of positions, but it's like my resume disappears into a black hole."

"How do I find a job that aligns with my passion and qualifications? This seems like an impossible task.”

▶️ Compensation

"Negotiating salary feels like walking on a tightrope. How do I ask for what I’m worth without scaring them off?"

"I’m afraid to negotiate because I really need the job. How do I make this less stressful?"

▶️ Mental Health & Emotional Toll

"The pressure to find a job quickly is intense. Bills are piling up, the clock is ticking and the uncertainty is overwhelming. How do I stay focused without feeling (or looking) desperate?"

▶️ Career Growth & Advancement

"Feels like I'm climbing an imaginary ladder. I’ve been stuck in the same position for years with no sign of upward movement. Where's the career growth I've been promised?"

"No clear path forward! The lack of career growth opportunities makes me question if I'm in the right place. How do you navigate when there's no roadmap?"

▶️ Networking Fatigue

"I’ve connected with so many professionals, but it’s not leading to job opportunities. Networking feels pointless. What am I missing?”

And even though it’s not a question…

“I feel like I'm just shouting into the void." ← This is a BIG one and something you avoid when partnering with me.

The professionals who asked me these questions and then decided not to go it alone? They’re now considering job offers that are aligned with their skills and interests and come with higher salaries.

It’s the beauty of working together to ensure that your job search or career transition leads to exciting new opportunities (no shouting into voids)!

Now it’s your turn to ask me your biggest question around career transition or the job search process.

I’d love to know what’s on your mind and will personally respond to you!
