CASE:"Laura" Director, Chairperson, Practice Group Manager
==============================================================
Objective: How do I scale back on too many commitments and get clear on my direction?
"I’m in a negative spiral of over-commitment to underpaid and unpaid work. I feel stuck, undervalued and overstretched. And it’s not serving my best career interests. I feel guilty of letting people down if I say no."
Outcome:
Our work together provided an objective way to step back from the emotional entanglement of overcommitment to too many roles and responsibilities. Evaluation of the various roles and opportunities was made through the lens of strengths and preferences which provided clarity as to what was really important. It helped identify the role which was best-aligned to longer-term goals. Development of a plan to transition out of roles that weren't serving her with a new empowering belief of that allowing someone to step up and grow rather than guilt of letting people down. Increased confidence around her value and how to communicate this to negotiate a higher salary.
