All of want to succeed at work – we want to meet our goals, be recognized for our accomplishments and enjoy the benefits that come with success. Yet, as we all know, becoming successful requires that we skillfully manage many unseen challenges along the way: negotiating a pay package, orienting a new boss, managing a difficult conflict, or even accepting a promising promotion. Success requires that we get from point A to point B as efficiently as possible; but in reality it also requires that we manage skillfully along the way and arrive at point B with our collective sanity intact.
AAW’s mindfulness based coaching is about just that: how do we pursue success in our careers while attending genuinely and skillfully to our lives along the way. Yet, today’s work environment presents all of us with some bedeviling career challenges: negotiating a pay package, searching for a new job, managing a difficult conflict, handling a complex personnel problem. And we all deal with tricky organizational unknowns at work: How can we organize our team for a new challenge? Who should we promote to lead our new venture? How do we recruit the right talent for our business?
Managing such challenges skillfully often requires that we seek advice from those who can lend perspective and a practical helping hand.
