New Experiences

This past weekend I had the opportunity to try something new – SNOWMOBILING! Initially, I was fearful; the machine was difficult to steer and my helmet caused me to feel claustrophobic. As we continued on the trail, I got used to the helmet (some deep breathing exercises were involved!) and I gained more knowledge of the machine (“sled” in snowmobiling terms) and began to feel quite comfortable riding on the snow-covered trails with amazing views of nature. 

Career transitions require trying something new – trying LOTS of new things! Like writing a resume and LinkedIn profile, interviewing and negotiating. And there is more! Interpreting job descriptions and networking!

When you are trying something new you need both detailed instructions and the mindset to succeed. When I was first on the snowmobile, I needed my partner to instruct me on how to turn it on, where the throttle was and how to use the brakes. Mindset was also required to keep going through fear of steering myself off the trail or having a panic attack from the enclosed helmet. 

Making a career transition requires the same – specific “how-to” instructions are great and critically important. Mindset coaching is the secret sauce to getting over the finish line! 

With almost 20 years in biotech/pharma AND life coach certification, I’m able to coach clients through both the “how to” and the mindset. If you’re interested in learning more, book a 15-minute free consultation today!
