Since there could be an infinite number of situations and problems to address in flex-coaching, BASHTASTIC career coaches implement a 3-step process to help you structure your thoughts, diagnose the problem, create an targeted plan, and execute. Here's what the conversations will include:
Consult.
You can expect an experience that takes a big picture approach. Our consultations involve researching the your situation together to gain an understanding of your unique needs. We then study common solutions and provide an individualized strategy to help you move forward in your career. We strive to provide a comprehensive plan of attack that empowers you to seize opportunities and reach your career goals.
Strategize.
Achieving any meaningful goal can be difficult. To ensure success, we'll collaborate to develop a strategy that prepares to achieve career conquest. We'll focus on creating a sustainable plan that organizes your daily life towards making progress. Success is never an accident. Even the luckiest among us spend lots of time and energy building their future.
Execute.
Time to make things happen. We discussed your situation. We diagnosed the problem. We reflected on obstacles in your way. We developed an effective and sustainable strategy. Now it's time to get it done. It's time to work hard and work smart. Pedal to the metal and make your dreams a reality. Elon Musk famously said "nobody ever changed the world on 40 hours a week." Similarly, we can't expect change in our own life if we don't pour precious time and energy into building a more prosperous future. This is where you conquer your career, and we'll help you do it.
