When You are Not Thriving at Work There are Negative Consequences

Coaching gives you power to change these things

Are you experiencing:

  • Burnout and Overwhelm

  • Stress and Anxiety

  • Lack of Communication

  • Wasted Time and Energy

  • Lack of Motivation

  • Stagnation and Boredom

A Good Job, with Engaging Work, is the Very Foundation of a Thriving Life

“The fastest road to thriving is to play to your strengths. “

Career Wellbeing Is The Foundation Of Your Best Possible Life

  • You like what you do every day. People with high career wellbeing wake up every morning with something to look forward to doing that day. Whether they are working at home or in an office, classroom or cubicle, they have the opportunity to use their strengths each day and to make progress. Those with thriving career wellbeing have a purpose to their life and a plan to reach their goals.

  • You have meaningful friendships in your life. People with thriving social wellbeing have several close relationships that make their life more productive and enjoyable. They are surrounded by people who encourage their development and growth. They deliberately spend time - on average about six hours a day - investing in their relationships. People with thriving social wellbeing have great relationships, which gives them positive energy on a daily basis.

  • You manage money well. People with high financial wellbeing manage their personal finances well and spend their money wisely. They buy experiences instead of just material possessions, and they give to others instead of always spending on themselves. Their successful strategies result in financial security, which eliminates daily stress and worry caused by debt.

  • You have the energy to get things done. People wit thriving physical wellbeing manager their health well. They exercise regularly, and as a result, they feel better. They make good dietary choices, which keeps their energy high throughout the day and sharpens their thinking. They get enough sleep to process what they learned the day before and to get a good start on the next day.

  • You like where you live. People with high community wellbeing feel safe and secure where they live. They take pride in their community and feel that it’s headed in the right direction. This often results in their wanting to give back and make a lasting contribution to society. These people have identified the areas where they can volunteer based on their strengths and passions, and they tell others about these interests to connect with the right groups and causes.

Gallup finds that Net Thriving is influenced by five elements. In order of importance the five elements of wellbeing are:

“What the whole world wants is a good job.”

  • “I was becoming more and more frustrated with my work and my career and was starting to feel completely burned out and exhausted. I knew that I needed a change but didn’t know where to start. After coaching with Liz around the results of my Gallup Strengths Assessment, I began to understand the actions I needed to take to get unstuck and move forward. I never would have reached this point without the tools and coaching Liz provided.”

    Bobby G.

  • “Our team was having trouble with communication and needed a big reset when it came to our team dynamics. We had a lot of strong individual personalities and they sometimes did not mesh. Using the Gallup Strengths Assessment insights, we were able to clearly identify and then begin to shift our focus to each other strengths rather than the focusing on the negative. There was an immediate shift in the energy of the team and our productivity increased as well.”

    Peter D.

  • "As a new empty-nester the time seemed right to reflect on what I wanted from this next phase of life. I wasn't sure if coaching was for me, but I knew I needed help carving out time to dedicate to this process. Liz is great. She helped gently guide me when I was stuck and happily supported me explore all my options. She is flexible, responsive, and met me wherever I was each time we got together. I feel really good about the time and money I invested to consider what I want, explore my options, and clarify my goals."

    Lynn H.

  • “No one teaches you the soft skills required to make you a good manager. I found myself in a new position leading people in a subject I was very knowledgeable but I quickly learned that the people on my team had disticntly different ways of working. Using the Gallup Strengths Assessment results, I was able to much more quickly be able to understand what motivated each person on the team which lead to increased trust and enhanced communications in every area."
