Like clockwork

Another of my clients just got headhunted.

And just like clockwork…

A week after they gave notice, their employer came back to them. 

“We’ve been thinking about it and we want to give you the promotion.”

This was the promotion that they kept promising but never delivered on.

And this ongoing promise was what caused my client to seek out my services. 

My client gave the company over a year to make this promotion happen. 

And guess what happens a week after giving notice?

Suddenly the promotion gets the green light. 

This happens way more than you think!

And it’s a story I’ve seen many times as a career coach for Professionals and Executives in their 20s & 30s. 

When we started working together, we prioritised their current company. 

We made our intentions very clear and sought to understand their position. 

We gave every opportunity for them to follow through.

But when it became clear the promise wasn’t going to materialise, we opened the door to new opportunities.

Sure enough, opportunities came knocking. 

And one of these was too good to decline!

So if you’re in a job right now where your progress is based on promises, it might be time to ask a different question:

What will cause things to change?

Because if nothing is happening, then the most likely time your company will “suddenly” value you is after they learn that someone else does.
