Career Progression Program

Have you ever come home from work and wondered:

“How did I get into this role, in this organization, in this industry?”
"Why hasn't my career progressed the way I want. Why have I been passed up for promotions?"
“How did I end up at this level, earning only X, when I did so well at school and university? This isn’t where I saw myself…”

These days it’s not enough just to be good at your job to get promoted, you need to carefully manage your career if you want to take it to the highest level possible, or even just to be paid what you are worth.

Most people let their careers happen to them, getting new jobs by chance rather than by conscious choice. This is common in careers where there isn’t a set career path, from A to B to C, in fact those careers with set progression paths are now few and far between.

We get the challenges of modern life, it’s hectic. You may be getting married, a working parent or caring for older parents. You are juggling your job, commute, paying the bills and mortgage, rushing around after the kids, or maybe studying part-time, trying to fit in exercise, time with friends and find some time for you.

You may ask “How can fit in managing my career with all of that?”

We have a simple process to help you identify what you want in your career, to plan it and steps to achieve it.

We have 3 programs: Comprehensive Career Progression Program, Performance Review Program and Career Personal Branding Program.

Performance Reviews or
Promotion Discussion Program

Performance reviews are one of the best times for you to negotiate a promotion, salary increase or improvement in your working conditions, yet research shows that 70% of people hate performance reviews.

We help you prepare for performance reviews and promotion discussions in the following ways:

Identifying and quantifying the value of your achievements in your role, beyond meeting KPIs.
Identifying your true worth to the organization, and conducting industry salary benchmarking.
Creating strategies to get promoted or improve your position within your current organisation.
Coming up with bargaining / negotiation points to help you gain the best possible outcome.

Benefits of Performance Review Program:

Increased confidence in yourself and your ability to present your achievements at performance reviews.
Show your true worth and value to your employer and how it equates to more income or a promotion.
Typically increased income through promotions and/or improved salary negotiations.
Achieve your career goals more quickly leveraging tried and tested techniques.

Comprehensive Career Progression Program
