Career Coaching Services to Position You for Success
Find more fulfillment in your career, be intentional in your goal setting and invest in yourself with career coaching from Career Sharma. Stefan M. Werdegar, a seasoned healthcare and IT executive recruiter and career coach has helped leaders move from director-level positions to the VP-level and C-suite. His proven process provides insight, develops strategies to overcome obstacles, increases the usability of professional and personal networks, and ultimately, results in achievement of career goals.
Just as you wouldn’t visit a orthopedic specialist for a heart murmur, choosing a career coach outside of your industry isn’t likely to produce optimal results. Career Sharma only supports executives in the healthcare and IT industries, because our goal is to provide coaching services that meet specific needs, are efficient and effective and that fit within a reasonable budget.
Our career coaching services are all one-on-one and customized to your specific needs. No two people are alike, and therefore, no two career paths are either. We invite you to learn more below.
The Career Coaching Process
Executives often seek career coaching late in the game—after they’ve lost a job or are on the brink of resigning out of frustration and disengagement. Recognizing the need for immediate results, our career coaching process is designed to provide maximum benefit in as little as six sessions. The process is very helpful for those who are seeking career advancement, as well as those who are exploring entrepreneurship.
Career Goal and Leadership Development
Our scientific approach to mapping your career starts with the DiSC Work of Leaders assessment.
Resume and LinkedIn Development
Marketing your strengths and accomplishments is the second step of reaching your goals.
Strategically Expanding Your Network
We’ll work on growing your network and providing strategic value that results in doors being opened.
Developing Your Personal Marketing Plan
Executives with big career aspirations need a well-defined brand and a communication plan to further your ideas, missions and value.
Interview Preparation
Led by an executive recruiter in healthcare and IT, we’ll coach you on how to build bridges and win positions with stellar interviewing skills.
Mental Philosophy Development
Declaring your intentions and setting goals is the first step in the process, and must remain a priority throughout your career. We’ll work on a plan that grows with you.
Why Consider a Career Coach?
It’s easy to recognize when you feel stuck, unmotivated or powerless to advance your career. Maybe you’re getting that sinking feeling that says your employer’s values aren’t in alignment with your own, or you’re even on the wrong career track altogether after years of being on career-autopilot.
At this point, it’s common for senior leaders who have spent 15 years or more building a career to feel frustrated. This is when a career coach can be your most powerful ally.
Stefan also coaches executives who are walking an aggressive career path to communicate value through a resume that gets noticed and interview skills that win jobs. He helps executives to overcome the personal and professional challenges that have caused a career plateau by scientifically identifying them and applying proven tactics to their improvement.
Whether you want to climb the corporate ladder by improving your effectiveness as a leader or desire to launch your own business, our six-step career coaching process can point you in the right direction.
Results You Can Expect from Our Healthcare and IT Career Coaching Programs
Career Mapping
After a thorough review of your job history, personal passions, leadership qualities and behavioral tendencies, we’ll map out a career path that is in alignment with your vision and goals. You’ll have a clear description of your ideal employer, the salary and benefit expectations and the continuing educational requirements to achieve your desired role.
Career Advancement
Once your ideal role is defined, we’ll develop a personal marketing plan that gets you noticed, improve your resume and LinkedIn profile to represent you at the level at which you’re seeking to work, as well as role play networking and interviewing scenarios designed to further your career path.
Valuable Network
Nobody achieves anything worthwhile alone. Developing and nurturing a network just as a sales person does with a prospect list is essential if you’re serious about career advancement or entrepreneurship. As a veteran healthcare and IT executive recruiter, Stefan teaches you how to strategically expand your network and optimize its value.
