Who Else Wants To Be Professionally Competitive?

Has your career hit the wall?

Or do you see the wall coming?

Blindsided by Unexpected Changes:

You're in a career transition or suspect one is imminent.

• You've been hit by a layoff and getting a new job isn't happening fast enough.
• You worry that you'll be hit by the next downsizing.
• Your numbers aren't what they should be. It's just a matter of time...

Key to a successful career transition is being willing to take a good look at your skills and figure out what needs to change so that you can be prepared to move forward no matter what happens.

Are your skills up to date or out of date?
Are they worth top dollar to your current or next employer?

Feeling Stuck:

Your Career is Stalled. You're feeling Underemployed. Or maybe you have "Golden Handcuffs".

• You didn't get the promotion you wanted... but you're definitely ready for a change.
• You asked for the assignment you wanted, but your boss gave it to someone else.
• Some days it feels like you can't hang in there any longer, even though you know you have to.

A key to getting what you want in the workplace is often managing others' perceptions of you.

How good are your interpersonal skills and political savvy?

Worn Down

Your life is great... but your health is starting to go.

You've been noticing that you're looking older, feeling more tired, gaining weight, your hair and skin are changing, and you haven't been sleeping as well as you'd like.

• How energetic are you?
• Do people think you 'look your age'?
• Are health problems getting in the way of your performance on the job?

Many people forget that good health is what allows them to be effective in every part of their lives. For the most part they take their health for granted. As they get older the effects of aging along with the years of accumulated stress from a high tech career can manifest as serious health problems.

(If you are Worn Down, consider Getting Well with Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.)

Fried:

You spend most of your waking hours at work and it's challenging, exciting, even satisfying, but at the end of the day you feel tired, frustrated, or stressed out.

• It feels like you're always on call.
• There's always a crisis somewhere in your life that you need to deal with.
• The constant crisis is wearing you down and affecting your performance on the job.

Many people don't realize how crucial managing their stress is to their job performance and their overall enjoyment of life. Consistent stress management activities can help you prevent serious health problems.
