Coaching for Reinvention

Aired: January 7th, 2008

Most people change jobs several times, with the average amount of career changes throughout a lifetime at 5-7, and the average number of job changes at 29-30, according to a university study.

This show explores the reasons why people change careers or industries and what factors prompt so many job changes within a career or industry. We will speak with career experts and coaches who help executives and managers reinvent themselves, and learn the best ways to find a career that makes one truly happy.

Overview

In a feature for Diversified Recruitment Inc, career columnist Patrice
Kelly writes “Corporations reinvent themselves internally everyday, but
individuals also can make significant changes to improve their business
and personal life.”

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, statistically speaking no one
really knows what motivates many of us to want to change careers, or the
number of times the typical person changes his or her career over a lifetime.
However one idea commonly attributed to the Department of Labor is
that people change careers about seven times throughout their lives.

But what stops many of us from changing careers or pursuing
our dreams?

Miami-based The Reinvention Institute says there are a variety of perceived
barriers that stop many of us from reinventing our careers, including
lack of knowledge, scarce financial resources, and a scarcity of contacts.

How can we overcome these challenges in finding the career of our
dreams? And what should we consider when debating whether or
not to change careers?

Our panel of experts address these questions and more, focusing on
how coaches who specialize in career reinvention can help reshape who
we are, what we do, and how we choose to live our professional and
personal lives.

Highlights of the show included:

  • An overview of what personal reinvention is.
  • Why reinvention requires a real commitment on a very
    personal level.
  • The roles that planning and fear play in defining our careers.
  • How reinvention experts are helping both business executives and
    celebrities like David Beckham achieve their goals.
  • What to consider when making a career change.
  • How career reinvention coaches can help people stick to
    their commitment of reinventing their careers.
