Analyse Your Skills to Bag the Opportunities and Rewards You Desire!

Can't make the place or the date? This meeting is also being held online on 19th March ( https://www.meetup.com/Professional-Invincible-You/events/248474189/ )

If you’d like to open up new career opportunities, increase your financial rewards or discover more satisfying work but it hasn’t happened yet, then this meeting is for you.

Many factors influence your career opportunities, but a critical one is the skill set you’ve developed over the years. Another key factor is how well you’re able to persuade employers and decision makers that you have the skills they need.

Join us to get clearer on what it takes to analyse your skills, and to deepen your understanding of the skills package YOU have to offer, so that you’ll be brilliantly placed to go after the roles and opportunities you really want, and become an ‘irresistible hire’!

In this session you’ll hear about :-

• The difference between skills, attributes and traits, which will help you to differentiate yourself from the rest of the field and increase your chance of getting hired.

• A fool proof way to identify the skills that you have, so that you’re not underselling yourself and you get the rewards in full you deserve.

• The fundamental errors in skills analysis that midlife job seekers and career changers make that cause them to miss out on their dream professional roles, or even have to ‘trade down’ to stay employed.

• Proven tools and techniques that you as a professional can use to categorise your skills, which can help you move towards more fulfilling and meaningful roles.

• The skills analysis tips that will speed up your CV creation and application form process which will save you time and get you into a better role faster.

• Fresh ideas about how to increase your income from your accumulated skill set.

The presentation and Q&A will last for about 40 minutes, after this you'll get the chance to experiment with some of the tools and techniques discussed.

Looking at career issues might sound like 'serious work' - rest assured our meetings are relaxed and friendly and we give everyone a warm welcome. What's more, career change is a creative process - so I encourage everyone to have a playful, open mindset in the meetings.

The £10.00 charge covers room hire and tea/coffee.

Your Presenter/facilitator

Trudy Lloyd is a professionally qualified career coach and facilitator.

She helps mid-career professionals to find more meaningful, satisfying and rewarding work - work they’re more fired up about. She also helps them stay relevant and employed when workplaces are rapidly changing due to new technologies, intense competition and globalisation.

In addition to her formal training, she draws on many years of experience helping teams to innovate and be more creative in business.

She now also uses these skills to help professionals to REINVENT their careers to stay employable.

Trudy understands how professionals face many challenges in their careers these days, including the ways many companies prioritise shareholder returns over creating a 'great place to work' and developing their employees, the stresses of 'job overload' and the isolation of working in ‘remote teams’. However, she is optimistic about the possibilities for people to reinvent their careers and has helped many people head to 'new pastures' where they've found greater satisfaction and better rewards.

She helps professionals to realise that there are many ways to ‘market’ your skills in the twenty first century. You can be employed or in your own business. You can work "online" or work "offline". You can have a portfolio career, work in the UK or overseas or work flexibly, to name but a few.

‘Career reinvention’ is a process which enables midlife professionals to identify what is making them unhappy in their work situation, get clear about what they want now, and what skills and traits they have to offer. After this, they can start to get creative and discover brand new opportunities that are just right for them.

The reinvention process may throw up 'conflicting desires' and Trudy helps people resolve these conflicts and find a transformational 'third way', so it's not either/or any longer, but the opportunity to have BOTH things you want in your career.

Trudy helps people match themselves with employers or customers who need and want the skills and traits they have.

• Trudy brings extensive marketing and innovation skills to the Career Reboot :Professional Invincible You 35+ group and wants to help people think afresh about their career situation, identify new ways forward and ways they might get a better return (financial and emotional) on the effort they have invested in their career to date.

• She’s a trustee and coach with Thames Valley Careers Springboard.

• She is the author of the forthcoming book. Staying Relevant – Innovating your Professional Role after 40

I’d be delighted if you could join us on the 15th February!

• Got a friend/colleague who might be interested in this topic - it would be great if you could let them know.
