We sometimes only recognise after the event, that time when a job-role came together in a way that you felt that you were a vital contributor to a thriving team. That time when the right manager has, by design or chance, brought together the perfect mix of talent and personality that results in a high degree of clarity of purpose, performance and achievement. It can often be the time you worked the longest hours, socialised the most and found time for family friends & hobbies too.
How did you manage all that ? Well, you found the mix where you thrive.
At Career-Navigator we talk with you; have a comprehensive walk-through or landscaping of who you are, what you do, how your work relationships work, what you want and finally where the gaps are.
Those gaps you need to bridge to reach the place you want to get to.
Identifying gaps, getting you settled into a competence zone that allows you mental capacity to then concentrate on building towards filling those gaps, will hand back your sense of control and clarify your plans for getting back toward that place where you thrive. That’s what we’ll do together.
Once there, seeing opportunities more clearly will come from that higher vantage point. Navigating from there becomes easier.
So, The Experiences You Can Count On ? Yes, because the chances are that you have had the experiences that you want to go to again. You may need just a little help to navigate your way back to them.
As for me, I've been a Finance Manager, Product Manager and senior Sales Manager, selling contracts worth £10s millions in the UK and overseas.
I've managed teams and gotten more joy from their achievement than from my own, singular efforts. I've had fantastic teams and problematic individuals. I've recruited and dismissed staff, fully knowing the impact that my decisions have on their lives and mortgages. I’ve presented at conferences to audiences that number in the hundreds; fretted that I'd make an idiot of myself.
I've won plenty, lost loads, survived and, yes, thrived

Client : Jan, Lab Manager, 2019
I was, for a long time, raging against past 'injustices', being looked-over for promotion, that kind of thing. The discussions I had with Paul about team management and how I perceive the issues I encountered in my role, all cleared away the unnecessary and time consuming doubts. It was all about me realising my capabilities, their best application and improving the enjoyment I get from my work.
The clarity of thought around "me" that I achieved helped me to secure a promotion and realise more of my potential.
Client: Jitar, Finance Director, 2020
I moved from work in a huge international corporate to a smaller, though still international, SME. The problems are similar but the values of flexibility and importance of the working relationships are so much more fundamental. It's fair to say that I had struggled to adapt until Paul helped me recognise that importance. More insightfully, how to relish the challenge of the new environment because in truth it was a better fit for my personality.
That understanding and simple direction setting has made a major impact on how I get more from myself and my job.
