Desirable Options When an Employee Isn’t Working Out …
Desirable Options When an Employee Isn’t Working Out …

This week I spoke with Erin Hamilton, the founder of  MOGL Small Business Services.  MOGL helps the owners of growing, small and medium-sized businesses with business development, operations, and systems.  We spoke about my take on pre-outplacement services. Basically, outplacement is career coaching that is paid for by a former employer when an employee is (or will be) let go. My approach to pre-outplacement is different because it is based on career psychology. It’s also different because of the context in which I’ve offered it.

 

Erin shared a snapshot of our discussion in a “30-second learning” article.

30 Second Learning on Outplacement

Here’s an excerpt:

A professional development coach not only helps top employees reach greater heights, but they also help unhappy / under-performing employees – many of whom would thrive in a different role.

Instead of waiting until a negative, costly firing process is necessary, local businesses are using Helen’s career coaching services as soon as a discrepancy in employee “fit” becomes obvious.

In a future post, I’ll describe my take on Outplacement v2.0 or “Right-Placement” in more detail.

 

In the meantime, please contact me by email, phone, or via direct message on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn if you’d like to discuss outplacement, careers, or other HR-related topics in more detail.

 

More than career coaching, it’s career psychology®.

Rethinking and Modernizing Executive Presence

As an executive coach, clients sometimes ask me for advice on how to develop their executive presence. And every now and then, someone will make it clear that they have a very narrow definition of executive presence — and it usually rubs me the wrong way. The unstated subtext is that “real executives” fit a certain template, and that template does not include certain types of leaders, despite being accomplished and effective.  Thankfully, after so many years of tech executives capturing headlines and broad attention, attitudes have certainly shifted — and the dress code has definitely evolved.

The Surprising Upside of Healthy Workplace Rivalry

The Surprising Upside of Healthy Workplace Rivalry

Does rivalry always have to be negative? After my last blog post about Workplace Jealousy, I started reflecting on the potential pros and cons of the related idea – workplace rivalry. There have been famous rivalries throughout history for which competition made them both better: John Lennon vs. Paul McCartney, Chris Evert vs. Martina Navratilova, or, more recently, Venus vs. Serena Williams.

The Insidious Impact of Workplace Jealousy

The Insidious Impact of Workplace Jealousy

What happens when we see others succeeding at work?  Does it trigger inspiration, or does it trigger workplace jealousy?

I am grateful that I have seen countless examples in life and at work when the presence of excellence is so inspirational that others realize what may be possible for them, and they act accordingly. This may play out as extra effort, extra training, more research, and other healthy and appropriate behaviours to “level up” and live one’s best life.
