Case Study: Irene
Here is an example of how I've helped a client navigate a complex career issue and reach a positive resolution.
*names have been changed to protect personal privacy.
Irene was dealing with significant career challenges intertwined with past relationship issues and proximity to the alcohol industry. They are in an unsatisfying job and are seeking a promotion to a new business development position.
At the same time, they are struggling with trust issues and the need to be more social, stemming from personal challenges including a custody separation and alcohol dependency. I approached Irene’s situation holistically, addressing both their career aspirations and personal growth needs. Here's how I helped them:
Career guidance: I assisted Irene in preparing for their interview for the new business development position, helping them strategize and present themselves effectively.
Personal development: I introduced the concept of internal archetypes, IFS, and self-management techniques to help Irene better understand and manage their emotions and decision-making processes.
Relationship building: I emphasized the importance of building rapport and maintaining positive relationships with colleagues, even in challenging work environments.
Work-life balance: I helped Irene create a plan to balance their career goals with their personal life, including making the most of time spent with their child during shared custody.
Trust and social skills: I addressed Irene’ trust issues and need for social connection, encouraging them to open up and build stronger relationships.
The positive resolution in this case was multifaceted.
Irene gained clarity on their career path, improved their self-awareness, and developed strategies for better managing their professional and personal relationships.
We worked a coaching plan to continue supporting them through their transition, focusing on both immediate goals (like interview preparation) and long-term personal growth.
I love this example because it showcases my ability to address complex, interconnected issues in a client's life, leading to positive outcomes in both their professional and personal spheres.
