Is your career making you feel blue?

> Not sure of the right career path for you?
> Confused, unhappy or lost where you are? > Feel you are not anywhere near reaching your true potential but don't really know what it is? > Want to make a difference and keep learning but don't know where or how yet? > Facing redundancy or dealing with being bullied? |

Rarely do people talk about the effect of choosing one particular career path over another will have on the type of life you will end up living. And yet it matters massively.
Statistics show that most of the UK workforce are unfulfilled at work and that is fairly typical of the rest of the developed world. This year alone, over 17 million working days were lost due to work related stress, a rise of 25%. If these statistics apply to you, isn't it time you did something about it and started enjoying your working life? Whatever the problems you are currently experiencing, we have the antidote to feeling lost and hating Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays... well, you get the picture! |

The RE-INSPiRED Professional Career Development Programme
Using a unique blend of positive psychology and neuroscience, and informed by career and life coaching theories, and action research from thousands of emerging and established career professionals, our RE-INSPiRED Professional Career Development Programme will enable you to take stock of where you are, identify what needs to change and develop an effective and exciting plan fuelled by a clearly identified career purpose to help you move to where you want to be to enjoy a happy, fulfilling and successful working life.
We know from experience that changing direction can be scary and sometimes means that longstanding strategies, patterns of behaviour and beliefs which no longer serve you need recalibrating. And sometimes events from the past can cast a shadow over your career success too.
No matter what help you need, you will be able to identify new possibilities and learn how to create new approaches and strategies though good humoured one to one coaching and discussion which will help you achieve a better future.
We have done this with others who now feel the sunshine in their career and we can help you achieve the same.
Programme Overview
The RE-INSPiRED programme consists of eight core modules, seven of which each represent one stage of the seven essential career elements of the INSPiRED career framework. The eighth module pulls everything together and acts as the catalyst to ensure you move forward effectively with career clarity so you can enjoy a happier, more fulfilled working life because you are INSPiRED by what you do. A ninth session focusses on how to tell your story to recruiters in applications, CVs and at interview.
Each module is taught live online over the course of around one and a half hours and you will be coached as we go so that you can make sense of the past and understand what matters to you in your future working life.
As well as the programme, you will also discover your Belbin Team role profile and explore the outcomes with your coach.

Module 1 - Identity
Completing this module will help you to be clear about what makes you the person you are.
As well as exploring the essence of personality and character, we will also look at the role of values in career happiness and success so that by the end of the module you will be clear about who you are and what matters to you. |
|
Module 2 - Needs & Wants
Everyone of us has different needs and wants in life whether inside or outside of work.
We will explore themes such as money, reward and recognition, autonomy and control, challenge, learning and growth, opportunity awareness, work life balance, the meaning of success, and lifestyle so you can identify what you need and want. This module will help you to understand what sort of life you want to live and what needs to be in your career so that you can live that life. |
|
Module 3 - Strengths, Talents & Skills
We all have a different blend of strengths and talents, unique to who we are.
This module will help you to identify your gifts and abilities (yes, you do have some!). You will learn the difference between learned skill-based excellence and natural strengths, why this matters and recognise which ones you want to develop most. |
|
Module 4 - Passion & Interests
As Confucius, Joseph Campbell and Shakti Gawain amongst others have recognised, if you do something you love, work and play become the same thing. Informed by theories from positive psychology and flow, this module will help you to identify your passion or strong interest, understand it and explore how you could develop it further in your career. We also look at some of the world's big issues which may just provide the inspiration you need to create a worthwile career.
|
|
Module 5 - Impact & Purpose
We know intrinsically, and research confirms, that doing things that are meaningful and have purpose lead us to feeling good about ourselves and our lives. This module explores how having a career leitmotif or central theme provides enduring stability, opportunity and growth in changing times no matter what happens to individual contracts and organisations. We will look to stories of others who have found themes centred around purpose, contribution and meaning as inspiration for helping you find your own.
|
|
Module 6 - Relationships
It is hard to find a career which does not involve working with other people to some extent.
Given you will probably spend more time with work colleagues than your partner, this module will help you identify the types of people you want to work with - and which types to avoid! This will help you recognise when a specific role or opportunity is right so that you can be happy and grow through positive connection and support from colleagues, rather than feeling miserable and being inhibited by others. |
|
Module 7 - Environment
Just as people can be drains or radiators, the environment we work in can also either energise and lift us up or leave us feeling depleted and worn.
Working through this module will help you to be clear about the geographic location, physical environment and working patterns of your every day working life so you can make informed choices which create an enriching and happy working life. |
|
Module 8 - Direction and Goals In the penultimate module, we draw all seven career elements together and distil them so that you have a clear and purposeful vision and mission based on understanding the essence of your career.
You will learn how to goal set effectively so that, by the time the programme ends, you will have tangible, measurable, achievable and congruent objectives to move your career forward. |
|
Module 9 - Moving forward effectively In this final module, we focus on the fundamentals of virtual networking via LinkedIn and putting together effective applications and CVs so you can move forward confidently in your career.
|
What do I get and how does the programme work?
Delivered to you live online, the nine module programme runs across nine sessions at a time to suit you, and uses webinars, ebooks, and worksheets to help you prepare easily and effectively. Some clients like to work fast so opt for weekly sessions while others prefer more time to think and reflect so choose to have a session every fortnight.
The programme also includes a tenth follow up session, which usually takes place a month after you have completed the programme. This session serves to consolidate your growth and development as needed

"Helped me forge a solid career in China, and also develop the confidence to apply for and attain positions such as “Future Energy Leader” under the World Energy Council, and “Global Shaper,” under the World Economic Forum." |
"It is two and a half years since I used Career Alchemy's career coaching services after they was recommended to me. The Skype call/meeting I had changed my life without a doubt. I got in touch as I was struggling to know where to go next career wise. I was even finding it difficult to summarise what I liked and enjoyed and what I didn’t. But through the questions the coach asked we got to the bottom of it. I have now ended up in a role which was something my coach asked if I had considered during that call. Crucially the difference with this career coaching call is that it wasn’t just about career. It was talking about my whole life situation which I think really made the difference as I could be open about all the things that impacted me as an individual. Thank you!" |

"After being made redundant Carolyn supported me by guiding me towards a career path that I have always aspired to, but never felt adequate to chase. I am now employed and working towards my initial careers aspirations with the motivation and drive I previously lacked." |
