Often
times our participants lack vision and a genuine desire to reach for their
dreams to achieve and excel. They cannot always believe they deserve a better
paying job with benefits working within a highly committed and professional team.
One of my chief goals is to exercise coaching tools that propel our
participants beyond what they can imagine.
After
several years of verbal abuse with her current employer, Tonya was suspended
for two weeks when she finally expressed her concerns of how she was being
treated to higher management. While rehearsing the details of the event she realized
this may be a good time to weigh her options. After five years of committed service
with the existing company, the thought of pursuing another career was a little frightening.
She
decided to put in some applications and see what happens. Her first application
was for an office position as a receptionist. To her surprise she was contacted
for an interview within three days. She was offered the position earning more
money with an extensive benefit package. Community LINC’s employment services
program was able to provide her with donated clothing perfect for the new job.
She
is on her way to a brand new job and life. Her new employer plans to train her on
other job functions which will also strengthen her ability to learn new skills
and provide the tools needs to expand her new career path. What an awesome turn
around at a time that seemed like things were about to crumble. No turning back
now only soaring ahead at a brand new future.
