Just as adventurers must carefully prepare for their next challenge, professionals must diligently prepare to successfully take the next step in their careers. Preparation builds confidence and gives you an edge over those who have not done the work.
Over the course of our careers, we managed people who were in the wrong role and needed redirection. We watched people gradually stagnate, not knowing how to position themselves for a promotion or propel themselves in a direction offering a fresh start. And we repeatedly saw late career professionals become financially, but perhaps not emotionally, equipped for retirement. The common denominator among these was often a lack of preparation and a lack of confidence.
Careers have inflection points and we have managed many of our own, including our most recent pivot toward building a professional coaching business. Talent development – including campus recruiting, training, performance evaluation and mentorship – was a meaningful part of our professional journeys. Along the way we learned many valuable lessons that strongly inform our approach.
We built Matterhorn Coaches to share our learning. Our executive experience, talent development expertise, training and commitment are all brought to bear in a highly personalized way to prepare you, to build your confidence and to give you the edge you need to successfully take that next step.
